Lighting


I've decided to experiment with glow sticks as a source of lighting. My original plan was to use them as a lighting source in my music video. Although I might have overestimated how much light they actually give off. For the camera's sensor pick them up, the iso needs to be incredibly high (resulting a grainy image the higher you go), or the shutter speed needs to higher (meaning that the length of time the before the image is captured is much greater, creating more motion). For filming a shutter speed of 1/50 is advised (to go along with the frame rate of 24fps), so using glow sticks isn't really ideal. But on the flip side they can still be used for the ancilllary tasks (the digipack or the website). Setting the shutter to around 5-15 seconds I was able to create some motion with the light. Below are the test images, the first one is a CD test cover:


Update:

Here's another CD cover idea. I think I'm going to use these as part of my band's previous singles and EPs on the website.

Initial Music Video ideas

I've started thinking about which songs that I can do for the music video task.

However I'm quite reluctant to make a music video for this song, even though it hasn't got one already, it's still quite a famous song and band, therefore I couldn't include a band in video and I like to idea of having both a narrative and performance video in one. Another song idea I had was Moaning Lisa Smile by Wolf Alice, I had a few ideas about this song but there is already a music video to it. She's Hearing Voices by Bloc Party is another song I am considering, as the lyrics are interesting and have a possible reference to the Matrix, which means I can include intertextual references in my video. There is also no music video to this songs,which is good and a narrative/performance video could work with the track. Joy Division -...
