Story Board

We drew our storyboard and put it together in the form of a 'Animatic' to make it easier to follow and give us a visual prototype of what the music video will look like. This is what we produced:

Logo Design

This is the logo which we designed. I was given the task to make this in Photoshop and animate it. The process consisted of firstly making each shape in photoshop on a lime green background, once these had been saved as separate jpeg images it was then possible to import them into final cut. we used the chroma keyer to remove the green background on the images which allowed the backgounds to become transperant giving a more professional look to the logo. We used motion paths to make the circles move and useing the text editor bundled with Final Cut we were able to create animated text to appear down the side of the logo.

Bellow is the final logo I produced:

Props

• Disco ball
• Record player
• Mobile
• Mega phone
• Women's wig
• Cardboard
• Toy doll
• Green card/ paper
• Magnify glass
• Animal mask
• Fake money
• American flag
• String
• Ghost
• Taboo bottle
• Fake spider
• Glass bottle

TV - We planned to make this using a card board box. To make the shape I cut out the screen and used this left over piece to make two circles to act as buttons. These were then glued onto the box with a hot glue gun. I then made an arial also out of cardboard and glued this to the top of the box. One of our ideas was to film the TV 'floating' in the air, this was done by attaching the TV to a pole using string. Our ideas were to make it look surreal and funny,

MegaPhones - I came up with the idea of making them on photoshop and then putting them onto card to make a card board cut out to look humorous yet intentional. I created the megaphones in photoshop by tracing over a image of a real megaphone to leave just a black outline. I then filled in the center using a gradient fill. I printed these out several times all with different colours to make the video look colorful and to make each one slightly different.

Call Sheet

As our personal details (phone number & Email Addresses) were on the original call sheet for blogger purposes & privacy reasons i have pixelated these.

Costumes

We wanted to create costumes which were over the top flamboyant, and decorative. We took inspiration from other videos done by the Scissor Sisters and thought that our costumes need to be over the top and dramatic to help tie in with the fast paced song. I got some pink material covered in sparkly sequins and made a top with it, this consisted of an over the shoulder simple top with a mesh shoulder piece and one flared arm sleeve coming off it, down the side was a strip of the same mesh material to show the skin. I am pleased with this top however I feel we will still need several more outfits for our performance to add variation and originality.

Another idea which i thought would be good is to get an old vest top some polystyrene cones and a glue gun. I would then attach the cones onto the vest using the glue gun, this would be unrealistic and unusual which is the desired effect. This is inspired by Madonna.

Amy used a a pair of lycra leggings which had bright colours in them, this was to add a bright contrast to the backgrounds which we hoped would attract attention and make the shots look more interesting for the viewer. I feel we did achieve this.

Another top i made was this multicolored jacket. This was done by using a flag and sewing it together. we wanted The costumes to be bright and colorful therefore i thought this idea fit the ideas and would become useful. I think the jacket is vibrant against the white background and attracts the viewer into the video.

Sam had been in shows before and she remembered about this top she had. It was brightly colored with neon orange, yellow and green feathers on. This fit with the other costumes due to the bright colours and therefore was a good idea for use to use this in the video.

We wanted to create a casual look to some parts of the video to create a good contrast and variation. After looking at the video ' David Guetta - Gettin' Over You' we realised that leather jackets were often used in music videos. We used our leather jackets in our videos to replicate this in between clips of us in the bright coloured shots.
