Improvements To Be Made

After watching and spending time editing our footage I feel we still need to film a couple more things;

- Our Studio Footage

- More coupley times with George and Eleanor rather than just fighting

I think these would add more elements to the video, making it less superficial and would be easier for the audience to watch seeing as the story would make a lot more sense.

Today we tried filming some more singing shots. We took inspiration from this photo.

We tried to do recreate this by using the schools projector system bouncing of a whiteboard and hoping the light would bounce in the right direction, with the right amount of light which it did not. After playing with various ways to do this we found that it is not a good way to get this effect.

We have now found a few adjustable lights which we are going to aim on eleanor to try and get the effect. However we are yet to do so.

Studio Scene/Shots?

After a group discussion today of where to go next we have concluded that we are going to add in a new location. This is because our music video is not really making much sense at the moment. Our ideas of new locations are;

- A Bedroom - This is to show a woman alone in a safe place where she is singing and this would be the main lip synching place. The Bedroom would be very minimilistic and lonely.

- A Studio - This is to add a more obvious place, fitting with the conventions of a music video. Here we would experiment a lot with lighting, framing and composition and objects to try and get the most interesting shots possible

- A Road - Here she would be walking down the street, this would be the linking of the sadder times on the rooftop to the happier and free times in the forest. This would be good to have because it would show a clear link in the story as well as having all lip synchin there to add to the music video feel.

This is what we filmed on the rainy day of 7th January 2011. We edited and put it together to try and make sense with the song and story. The Lip Synching is very hard to put exactly to the song and takes a lot of time and almost perfect editing to do.

This is a shot we have used from our practise, we used Akua first and now we're using eleanor as the real person in our video.

Stone Cold Sober Lyrics

I'll be the late night lady you won't recognize
I'm a chameleon I'm always in disguise

I'd read your future but it´s written in the past
Take a good look might be your last

Don´t try to show me
Cause you don't know me
Stay away!!

I can be wider than the wind
119 miles an hour
I´m in a whole other dimension
Dancing doubles on the floor

You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold sober

You're telling me something
But there's nothing cheap as words

I'm walking away before I do affect the birds
Excuse me Mr I've got other things to do
Than to stand here listening to you

Stop talking at my face
Take a rocket out to space and...
Stay away!!

I can be wider than the wind
119 miles an hour
I'm in a whole other dimension
Dancing doubles on the floor

You think i'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I´m stone cold...

I can be wider than the wind
119 miles an hour
I´m in a whole other dimension
Dancing doubles on the floor

You think i'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold sober

In the madness of the storm
I'm the one to carry on
I don't need no medicine

I´f you're looking for a cure
Don´t be knocking at my door
I´ll never let you in

Take a rocket out to space
And stay out of my place

I can be wider than the wind
119 miles an hour
I´m in a whole other dimension
Dancing doubles on the floor

You think i'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I´m stone cold.. .

I can be wider than the wind
119 miles an hour
I´m in a whole other dimension
Dancing doubles on the floor

You think i'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold sober
