TASK 4 - Directors Commentry

Directors Commentary Video opens with a wipe which is iconic for the time period, it draws the attention to the 3 girls on the stage, another element that draws the attention to the girls is the spot lights on them. We needed this type of lighting to re-enforce the girls star status. The girls are also lit from behind creating a halo like feel to them, meaning the audience look up to them. The girls are placed in the background of the shot, distancing them from the audience to again enforce star quality; they are also shot from a low angle which does the same job. We have a close up of Nico in a mugshot, which makes the audience question why she is there and what she has done in order to get there. The shot of the club juxtaposed with the mugshot creates impact through contrast. The girls are shot from a low angle which re-enforces their star status and makes the audience look up to them literally and as a sex symbol. The fact we could create a digital in order to help us cut our shots to the beat of the track helped us get it in time. We filmed the stills of our paper storyboard on the Sony HD camera and then cut them in time with the track onto a timeline in Final Cut Pro. We used web 2.0 technology to help us research am develop our bands institutional context. We also used this technology to contact the record company for copyright permission. We used the blog as a creative filter Construction We lit the greenscreen flat so that no light reflected on to it – as we saw from previous student projects, using a blue curtain makes the images foggy.
