My Face Third Draft

After our second draft we then showed it off to classmates and other people around the school and collected research about our second draft. Our research allowed us to improve our video further and please more people by taking out anything that they thought did not work or they did not like.

My Face Second Draft

Here is the second draft for My Face. We listened to some of the feedback we got from our classmates and made some changes to hopefully make our video better. The main improvement points was to improve the time lapse and some of our shots were too long. Also some people did not like how we had repeated some shots.

Filming Day 7 - Time Lapse

Day 7 of filming. James Clifford went out to record our own time lapse. You can see our time lapse in our finished video. He recorded himself in a field with the sun going down behind him to give the impression of time passing.

Time Lapse Research

Equipment that we will need:
Camera
Tripod
Aesthetically pleasing background

When we film a time lapse we found out that it is really important to overshoot as much as possible. This is because when the footage is sped up a long period time of film could be shown in seconds. In our music video we wanted to show a time lapse as it would give the impression on time passing. We wanted to put it in the chorus. We worked out to get the correct speed that we wanted for our time lapse that we would have to film for around an hour. Below is a video of some time lapses that inspired us to put one in our video.

My Face First Draft

This is the finished first draft for James Couleur's debut single My Face.

Day 6 of Filming - Paint Wall

Day 6 of filming. We chose an area of the wall which we could paint over and we covered it in white paint to create a blank canvas.

My Face Teaser Trailer

We decided to make a teaser trailer for the single My Face. We did this to create a 'buzz' for our audience for them to get excited for the new single. We also shared the video around to promote James Couleur and his debut album.

My Face First Draft Feedback

Above is a scanning of the number of results we received in each category. We then worked out the average of our feedback results which worked out at 31 out of 40.

Planning for our Teaser Trailer

Food Colouring and Milk Experiment 

For a teaser trailer James Braddy came up with the idea of dropping food colouring into milk and then adding washing up liquid made the colours mix together and then form a colour swirl. Below is an inspiration video of the idea.

Editing the First Draft for My Face

Here you can see me working on editing the first draft for My Face. You can also see a shot of Adobe Premiere with some shots in there.

Day 5 of Filming - Graffiti Wall Lip Sync

Day 5 we went into Chelmsford and we knew of a run down area used for graffiti. We decided to shoot here as the walls were bright and colorful and matched the rest of our video.

Commitment to the Video

We had decided that there was one type of shot that we wanted which was under water. James got into his wetsuit and and braved the icy cold water!

Day 4 of filming Sea shots

Day 4 of filming. We went to Goldhanger to record our shots we needed for the sea and also some shots on the beach. Below are various shots behind the scenes at the shoot. James Braddy braved the cold November sea to get the underwater shots filmed with a Go Pro.

Pete Fraser

On Friday the 7th of November Pete Fraser came into our school to give us some tips on how to improve our videos and give us some extra ideas for our blogs and productions. Below is a picture my teacher took of Pete talking to us.

Inspired Videos

Here are a few videos that have inspired us and given us ideas on how we want to make our music video. We found Yellow and Summer very inspirational to us.

Coldplay - Yellow



Coldplay's Yellow has inspired us with ideas for our music video as we see Chris Martin walking towards the camera looking sorry for himself. We chose to use this video as one of our inspirations because we feel that the lyrics to our song represent a sad moment in the persons life and we would like to create the same effect on the viewer that is shown here.

Calvin Harris - Summer



We have used this video because we see Calvin walking down a dusty track which is what we would like to recreate for our music video.

Day 3 on the set for filming the music video for My Face. Here we are filming the chorus for My Face.

Day 2 of Filming Paint Party

For our music video we had an idea to have a paint party at the end. This is to show the colorful side of life and how people can enjoy their life after a dark patch. Below are a few pictures from filming.
