The Pretender by Foo Fighters.
The process I went through to create the animatic.
The first thing I did to begin to create the animatic was creating a a storyboard. Before I used the story board I watched the video to have a basic idea of what the video would be like and how I will maintain my timing. To begin with, in every 0.00 seconds - 0.45 seconds I had to draw onto my storyboard the different shots I saw. This was done so that I would get the exact movement of the music video and when my story board were to be complete, it would be the exact image. Once it was complete, in total I had 28 shots which included repeated shots, different shots with different angles, and also positioning.
What have I learned about the shot variety needed when shooting a performance.
When doing this process, I realised that a 4/5 minute music video includes lots of different shot types and movements and drawing the pictures every second made me realise this because of the amount of movement included in the music video. Overall, there is not anything extra included in the music video, it is only and massive empty room, the band and the equipment that they use for the video; such as the drum kits, the speakers, the guitars and the microphones. As I was editing the music video, I came across to a lot of shots such as:
If you notice, in the video these shots are used more than once. This is done so that the entire video is focused on the band and every action they do and because the music genre is rock, the camera movements are very rapid showing plenty of details of the face and their hands movements. In addition to that, the camera doesn't just move with speed, it moves according to the beat. We see this just before when the lead singer starts to sing and the shots are cut to the beat. This type of editing is effective as well as meaningful to the audience. I say meaningful because the audience would want to move according to the beat of the song and sometimes seeing the same kind of movement in the music video can involve the audience more. Also editing at the pace of the music video requires a lot of focus and accuracy which is something I have particularly learnt during this process.
- Close ups
- Mid low shots
- Mid close
- Establishing shots
- Low angles
- Long shots
