to elaborate on Adam's previous post, the links that were posted are two of enter shikari's promo videos. Now we slected these ones because both feature slow motion in them, particulary 'Jonny Sniper'. The effects of smoke, fire and extreme facial expressions have proven to be very effective in slow motion and adds alot more effect and drama. Also body shape in the air can look real sweet too.

We are quite lucky to actually have videos from the band that we are hopefully using in our music video. We just need to try and get permission.

For ine of the ancillary tasks Adam is going to do a webpage, so below is enter shikaris REAL webpage for his purposes, and for you, the readers, to have a look at if you like.

Hello from me

Hi, im the new member of this blog, Adam. I have joined up with jeb and josh as elliot left media studies at the end of last year. From the start of this year we were all certain that we wanted to do a music video as our main piece. We have chosen a song as jeb has already mentioned and I believe its a fantastic song to chose as it has got a huge mix of tempos and speeds to it as a whole. It is probably the perfect song to do relating to the 'time and space' idea we agreed upon. We have a good idea of want we want to do but what we need to do is put that with the music/lyrics and then have an order to our ideas. We have begun to think about the locations, at the moment the local multi-story car park features heavily and what day filming will take place on. It looks like it will be on a wednesday because of the free periods and lessons we have and the fact it won't be busy unlike a saturday or sunday.

Finally can I just add how thrilled I am at the prospect of working with jeb and josh and the immense piece of work we will produce. I am currently about to re-doing my year 12 media coursework and more details about a link for that will follow shortly.

thoughts...

we knew from square one that we wanted to do a video with ALOT of slo motion junk, lots of breaking stuff, lots of slo motion fire, basically stuff that would look epic when its slowd down.
and with this idea in hand, we had to think of a song that would appropiratley go with this. goss. we needed a song that was fast paced in places but varied in parts. goss. the song that we eventually chose was a song called 'Hectic' by a band called 'Enter Shikari'. this band isnt exactly world renown. this song is what goss calls 'trance core' and is rather post modern, so that may score us browny points with the powers that be.

NEW BEGINNINGS

Ok, with the start of year 13, we have lost Elliot, and gained Adam, a.k.a. AHDUM GUZ. With our new team we set to make a music video that will literally blow your mind, along with 2 ancillary tasks, which will be equally awesome.

We have decided to follow the traits of Jonathan Glazer in our video, altering time and space, by using final cut express, and its abilties it has to offer such as layering and reversing the video.

We have been out with the schools pride and joy HD camera, to get some experiments and see what the quality of the film would be like when put to various speeds. Some experiments included jumping, jumping on people, and even spitting water and breaking 'stuff'. We are happy with what we made, and have learned the basics of FINAL CUT EXPRESS HD. Now we just need to plan, and further posts will update you :)

To mark the beginning of a new project and year, below is our newest member. Adam.
