Hi everyone,
Recently I have been going through my original ideas and I have thought of other interesting ways to add to the location which will occur through post production methods.
I have been influenced by the music videos 'Where Are U Now' by Justin Bieber, and 'Pheonix' by Olivia Holt. Both of these music videos consist of individual qualities that instantly make the original film better and more intriguing for the viewer, this being the added graphics produced within post production.
Justin Beiber's - 'Where Are U Now':
This music video consists of fan-base art that is more or less random, to which the individual overlaid images don't necessarily link to any of the lyrics and instead some cases link to his life - but you would have to be a fan of his to know and understand this knowledge. Also, due to the fact that the art overlaid onto the film is fan-based results in making the music video more personal to the viewer who are fans of Justin Bieber, and therefore leading to more influential concepts for people to watch.
However, instead of random overlaid pieces of artwork, I have decided to produce overlaid pieces of artwork that link further into the actually imagery of the song itself - by linking these images to the lyrics. This will then lead to my performance based music video to still have the interest which a narrative within a video will have.
Also, I believe that a further graphical influence of the nature and the outside within the background will help produce the general feeling of outside life itself - which was one of my main original ideas and the overall base of which I want to form my recreation of the 'Borns' artist on. Furthermore, due to the song that I have chosen 'Seeing Stars' having an upbeat tempo, using bright and fun colours should add to the overall mood of the song, which is to feel excited, happy and to be in love - to which my music video with these added features of overlaid graphics would be showing these emotions more externally through imagery.
Olivia Holt's - 'Phoenix':
This music videos post production graphics are more animated compared to Justin Bieber's fan-based artwork, however in this case it does link to the overall concept of the the meaning of the song, which is to be like a 'Pheonix' which is a mythical creature. The added animation adds to the magic of the songs meaning and interpretation and symbolises the characters inner feelings and powers externally creating exciting and vivid images for the viewer to see and to be engaged by the music video further. This links back to my concept of making the feeling of excitement, happiness and love being shown externally through images linking to the lyrics of the song.
However, in particular I got inspired by how the animation is flowing around the subjects and the main artist within the video. I understand that this is graphical animation and I will not have access to this technology, but by linking still images together and combining them together creates still animation that is similar to this music video.
When looking further in this combined concept I came across a previous A2 music video piece entitled: 'Pretty Hurts' by Mckenzie Whitehead and Bobby Valenzia. Mostly the music video consist of a style similar to Justin Beiber's music video, however occasionally within some scenes links the overlaid artwork together to create a still animation.
Within my upcoming blogs I will analyse this music video in more detail in order to see the positives and negatives of using this technique and to see how it made the overall music video concept more effective.
Hope you enjoyed reading!
See you soon!
