Music Video - Second Draft

This is the second draft of the music video that I am producing and as of yet it still needs more adding to it. The editing it tighter and more developed.

This is the third draft of my music video as it has more of the blank spaces filled in and has more substance in terms of the narrative. This also has added effects that i aim to use for the rest of the video as it shall repeat.

Music Video - Ideas - The Filling in of blank spaces

The Original Video

When looking at this video, it does not inspire much when looking back at the same song. 

















Other Video

A video like this with colour and also makes direct links to the lyrics of the song is more inspiring for my own music video as it shows that the 'narrative' may not be there entirely but it still sticks to the lyrics of the song and enforces them visually. 

CD Cover

Since the draft that I produced was something which I thought worked really well. I decided that it would be the idea for my official CD Cover. I gathered the ideas of both drafts and merged them together to create ideology and a link to the music video. 

Ancillary Texts

Ancillary Text Process

When developing this ancillary text, I first created the individual panels in a separate document which was then places into the ancillary document. When producing each individual cover, I had to make sure that they linked together and that they were relevant to the music video. This meant that I had to re-enter this environment and take pictures around it. The overall look that I was trying to achieve was the it was orientated around nature and that the face of reality is blurring regardless of the surroundings. This includes what we perceive as nature to use.  The title itself is a play on words to a postmodern era as it is in which reality and hyper reality lines are blurred. I have used the paper as a form of representation of another reality, almost as though you are looking through a window. The back cover is the same, thought this time it is taken from a location that is used in the music video. The paper is ever present and almost creeping into frame. This is then a repeated pattern until the cover of the right hand top of the panels which has the image of a gate. A gate may represent many ideologies in terms of reality. A gateway to another reality, a gateway to escape a certain reality. These are all postmodern ideologies which are present due to the idea that we as a society want to escape whatever reality that we are currently living. It is the reason why we have created different realities using the       development of technology and media. The other image being the red and white shelter that is a blurred image. This is another location that I have used within my music video and shall be an important landmark within the video. The fact that it is blurred is a deliberate reference to the blur between reality and hyper reality.

Rough Draft 2

After reviewing this draft of the music video and receiving feedback. It has become apparent that the editing needs to be the main focus of this video. Much faster than it is currently and needs to be in time with the beat of the song since the song has a strong beat. This as well as the fact that some of the visuals where I have cropped and created the duplicate effect are un-matching and the lines are noticeable. The weather at the time was that of windy and this effected the footage so the footage doesn't match up.

Images Used for Ancillary Text

This is the image which shall be on the front cover of the magazine advert and the digipack. 

All of these images shall be used on the digipack as they are relevant and reminiscent of the music video that I have created. The last image is a screen shot from a test shot that I had done previously as I did not take an actual picture of the location.
