Walking Sequence

Walking Sequence

This is a walking sequence and in this video i had Alpha helping me with my video and what we did was we used the same camera techniques (pan, follow, Dolly) and after that we edited it using Premiere Pro cc.

What Worked?

What worked was that the transitioning of the videos were on beat with the music and on time.

What Didn't work?

What didn't work is that the quality of the film was not clear and it looked a bit blurry and can barely see the video.

Hollywood Montage

Hollywood Montage

This is the Hollywood Montage Video. An example of a Hollywood Montage is Rocky Balboa Training for his fight and in every scene there are cuts between each scene.  In this video me and my class had to be in groups of 3 or 4 so In my group there were 3 of us so we used the example of the rocky balboa scene and arranged our own rendition of the scene.

What Worked?
What worked was that the cut transitions from one scene to the other were on point

What Didn't work?
What didn't work was that the video could have been longer but since the video was short we didn't get enough footage. Another thing is that the environment of the scene was not really a good area to work on and no props

What Could I Do Better?
What I would do is look for a good environment to work on for the right theme to the right music.

Final Project Research

Boys To Men - A Song For Mama

This song is sung by a group called Boys II Men. This song is paying tribute to their mothers and how they raised them up to being men and how they took care of them.

This video is relevant to me because I'm doing a music clip to pay tribute to my mum who recently passed away due to cancer. So for my final video I'm going to do a music clip which pays tribute to my mum for everything she has done for me.

2pac - Dear Mama

This song is called Dear Mama by Tupac Shakur. This is also paying tribute to Tupac's Mother. This Song or clip is relevant because in my clip i will be rapping/lip syncing and this makes it more relevant because Tupac expresses the struggle that his mum went through trying to work and bring food on the table which is sort of like my mum and how she migrated to New Zealand and she had to work her way in order to feed me and clothe me.

Wiz Khalifa - See You Again

This Song is by Rap artist Wiz Khalifa with the collaboration of Charlie Puth singing See You Again. This song is different from the two because this song is paying tribute to one of the greatest actors in the Movie series The Fast And The Furious. This is the song that I will be Rapping/Lip Syncing and my friend Alpha will be Collaborating with me as we both agreed to do sing this song and I am thankful that my friend wanted to do this because he knows how much my mum means to me and surely he knows how much his mum means to him.

Final Video

Moa Ft Alpha - See You Again

This is the final Video and the theme of this video is paying tribute to my mum who passed away.
So in this video I went to my mums grave with Alpha and  and took some footage and after that we went to my house with michelle (our Camera Girl) and took some footage as well then went to one of the performing arts rooms which had a piano and took footage of me playing piano and Alpha lip syncing the chorus and bridge. Afterwards we went to edit it and had Alpha and Michelle as my Executive producers and they gave me advice on how the video would turn out. So in the beginning of the film I put two videos of my dad saying farewell to my mum and used the effect called the cross dissolve to transition one video to the other. I also added photos of my mum during the funeral and before she passed as to me it made me cherish the memories that me and my mum had so i guess it made me have a good laugh and throughout the video it finishes off with my mum's picture.

Task 6 - Lighting

 Low Key

High Key 

Today I was experimenting on using Low key and High key Lighting. I experimented on one of my classmates and i took a still image using High key and Low Key Lighting

What worked?

What worked was that i was able to take a still image on my classmate instead of a blurred image. and the High key Lighting was on Point.

What didn't work?

What didn't work was that on the photo above was not darker and showed a little more light.

What would I do differently?

if I were to do this again I would look for a darker room to take a photo for low key lighting.
