Music Video so far

Here is our music video so far, we added in our animation in today's lesson and also done some more editing. I think we've nearly finished editing our opening but we may have to go back over it when we add in new footage. Andrea and I are both very proud of what we have put together so far and we are hoping to meet up on monday to take some studio photos for our digipaks and also meet up next sunday to go up to Southend to do some more filming for our chorus'
How the animation was made:
Andrea and I both done research together to find some examples of stop animations and to have an idea of what an animation needs to include. We then came up with the idea of having an image that represents the concept of our music video. On Wednesday we decided to prepare our animation. Andrea drew the images over and over again then realised that the pictures won't all look the same so she drew one and when we were happy with it we got it photocopied about 20 times. She then added on the speech bubbles, letters and hearts. We then took some photos on her camera in order to practice and have an idea of what it might look like in the video. We both really liked the idea and the way it looked so in todays lesson Andrea brought along the pictures, we set up the camera and then I filmed it as Andrea changed the sheets. I filmed each sheet for about 4 seconds and paused in between each shot. We then had plenty of time to upload our footage to our mac and start editing!
I think it looks really cute and fits in well with the message in our chosen song. I made some of my family members watch our music video so far and everyone seems to really like what we've managed to put together. Everyone also pointed out the animation and think it looks really good which must mean so far so good!
