Editing the music video 1

This is what the editing of our first rough version of the music video had looked like, as you can see there are pieces missing throughout the timeline and whole scenes not yet implemented as well as the video not yet being the entire length of the finished product and only being about half of the length of the finished music video. There is not much to go one yet however the timeline of the final product will look much better than this.

Filming the music video 1

These are some pictures which were taken as we were filming for the music video, both of the pictures that were taken here were taken in central park which is where we began to film first as we decided that it would be best to use the good weather to our advantage while it lasted.  The first picture is of us when we were preparing to do the first coke and mento's scene, we had to prepare the bottle and the sweet beforehand to make sure we got the result we wanted.
The second screenshot is of us in the playground area of the park where we done the scenes of us climbing around the equipment and me spinning the bowl with the buzz lightyear toy.

In the park, the first shot that we used was a long shot of the swans on the lake.

The first show in the second scene was in the Drama room and was a close up of the main singer (Destiny)

The second shot which we used in the Drama room was a long shot of the band performing so that we had everybody in the frame.

The third shot that we used in the second scene was a mid shot focused back on the main singer again. 


The second shot for the first scene was of the coke and mento's being used in the park to create a reaction.


We then went to my house for the third scene and the first shot we did there was of everybody playing with the Nerf guns and firing at one another.


The second shot which we used in my house was a mid shot of the tent with a no girls allowed sign on the front of it.


The third shot which we performed in my house was a long shot of my cat being help up in the air so that everybody including the cat was in the frame. 

The fourth shot which we used again was back in the drama room and was a close up of Sam on the keyboard.

Audience feedback

For the audience feedback on the final music video i had firstly created a survey monkey where people could answer what they thought about it online and could put their opinion across about what they thought was good with the video and what they thought was bad, i had sent this out to multiple others in the classroom and some of them answered while others did not, most of the answer that came back made some very good point and had some very good pieces of criticism which i can use to my advantage in any future projects. 























We also took some pictures of other classmates reacting to the music video on our phones so we could get their opinions on the video and what was good with it as well as what could be done to improve it.  The picture is of James and Sam reacting to the final finished product.

Title: Its unbelievable

Tag Line: As good as it gets 
Synopsis:
The entire song basically revolves around people re-living their childhood and doing things which they would have done as a child, this involves a multitude of different scenes of the main actors doing things from their youth such as watching VHS, climbing trees, Coke and Mentos as well as playing with dinosaur toys. 
The original music video itself is entirely animated and done in a cartoon - like fashion, it is also worth noting that the entire song is very happy and upbeat and consists of everybody that is involved having fun and enjoying themselves. 
Key Genre Conventions:
This music video has multiple different genre conventions, the main ones being along the lines of childhood, having fun and enjoying life. Within the music video however there are also themes of nostalgia and being a child again throughout the music video, it is also worth noting that one of the key genre conventions through the music video is also just enjoying life.

Mood Board


This Pinterest board was created by both me and Destiny for our music video, all of our thoughts and themes are compiled onto this board to look back at and remember what our themes and ideas throughout the creation of the music video was.

Initial ideas

One of my initial ideas was to make a music video where it would be the main signer walking down a street then locations switching as he is walking, the locations would be switching to the beat of the song. The main song which we were going to go with initially was "1,2,3,4" by the plain white T's however in the recommended section when viewing that song we finally found "unbelievable". 

The initial ideas also included us wanting to do something more fun than serious as we wanted to have fun when recording this as well as making a good music video, this help once we had found "unbelievable" as this is a pretty fun song and was pretty easy to come up with good ideas for.
