(post 17)- Ancillary Task 2 practice


One the left is the album cover that we were given to recreate for our second ancillary task, and on the right is our recreation of it. For our recreation we used my friend Megan as our model. She has relatively dark hair which is similar to what is on the album cover and was also free during the time we need to do this. To recreate the cover we used fake blood, eye liner and lip stick to create the blood dripping from the face and chin. We also had our model wear a plain black top so that she didn't get blood on her sixth form uniform and also so it fitted with the cover.


This is a picture of me putting the fake blood on our model ready for the photo. We used tissues to dab on the blood over the general areas (lower face and neck) and then dribbled some down her chin to give it the effect that it was running down her face from her nose. We used this as a base for the blood as we planned on editing it to make it look more realistic on Photoshop.


As I have never used Photoshop before I got my friend, Milly to give me a hand. Together we managed to edit my model to make the blood on her face look more realistic and stand out more. We also managed to put my model onto a black background and add the title from the original album cover onto my album cover.

POST 7: LIP-SYNC PRELIMINARY PRACTICE   Lip-syncing  move the lips silently in synchronisation with a pre-recorded soundtrack. It is used i n the music industry when lip-synching is used by singers for music videos , television and film appearances and some types of live performances. Also, Lip-syncing by singers can even be controversial to fans attending concert performances who expect to view a live performance, but singers choose to lip-sync.  Because the film track and music tracks are recorded separately during the creation of a music video , artists usually lip-sync their songs and often imitate playing musical instruments  as well. Artists also sometimes move their lips at a faster speed than the recorded track, to create videos with a slow-motion effect in the final clip, which is widely considered to be complex to achieve. Similarly, some artists have been known to lip-sync backwards for music videos such that, when reversed, the singer is seen to sing forwards while tim

(post 45) - final setting(s)

No changes have been made to the settings outlines since the planning stage so we are working from the settings outlines below.  SETTING Are you familiar with the term 'setting'? I am familiar with the term setting and in my opinion, it means the place or type of surroundings where something is positioned or where an event takes place. So in our situation, the setting would be in a house near the beach. As that is where we are filming our music video. What settings   do you consider 'setting' using in your music video? For our video we want to portray the present day, with a variety of shots in and out of a victorian beach house located in Lowestoft, Suffolk. The season will be winter as my group and I thought this time of year would compliment our ideas. This setting revolves around the idea that  these sisters on a road trip, doing what they want, when they want, and spending time with each other. Therefore, we want to focus on little things that create the set

(post 23) - Audience Research

In this task, we were set to go into town which is a busy, built up area to ask a variety of different people what their opinions and views are of music videos and how they consume them. We have been set the task of starting our audience research for our coursework; which will give us a clearer idea on what the consumers would want to see from our work for it to be successful. We decided the most effective way of collecting this information is to make a video, asking people from around Wymondham and our sixth form to gain a further insight to what people think makes a good music video. By asking the public we will get a variety of ages, which will help us get more inclusive answers to our questions, rather than if we just stayed in sixth form and asked our peers. But by also asking within sixth form we get more information from our actual target audience, which is younger people as they are more likely to relate to the content from our video. There are the obvious 3 subject questi
