selecting photos to use

We put the pictures into Preview and select the photos that we want. We put ALL of the images into Preview and then was able to choose and delete/remove the photos we didnt need.

Comparison

I like this video as it involves people but using words to say what the song is saying. I originally wanted to do a video like this but I do prefer my video as it is more fun and more range can be done with videos like this as you don't have to stick with what the song is.

I preferred doing a video like this and it was really fun to film.

Evaluation

I used a Canon 5D, Bowen Studio Lights, Boxing Gloves and 5 people.

I used the studio to shoot my final video. I used a Canon 5D camera and Bowen studio lights. I liked using the studio as the camera and lights were already there. However, we did have trouble with the camera as it had trouble focusing and some of the pictures didn't come out correctly. This was because we were taking the pictures to quickly so the camera could not focus. Sometimes, even though the lights flashed the pictures came out either to dark or to light. We ended up changing the way the camera was connected to the lights. Firstly, they were attached by a lead, but then we changed it to a wireless transmitter which worked a lot more efficiently.

My inspiration was that I really like the Rocky films and I like the song 'Eye of the tiger', so I decided to use that and make a stop frame motion video recreating a boxing fight. I tried to take as many pictures as I could so the movements flowed quickly. I am surprised how long the film lasts for considering I thought I didnt take as many pictures as I thought. I thought the video flows well bar a few parts which look a bit static and they stop and start. 

I enjoy the film a lot more now the sound effects are in because it gives the video some flare and makes it sound more fun and more is going on.

If I had to redo this video, I would of incorporated a background and probably made the 'fight' last longer and have more going on in the background instead of just a plain white background.

I felt as if it might of been quite rushed as 7 of us were in the studio sharing one camera and the shoot was done in only one day so we had to do it quite quickly.

I do like this video and I think it is quite different and fun.

My Final Project

This is my final stop frame video.
I used:
Canon 5D Camera
Bowen Studio Lights
5 People - Molly, Jordon, Danie, Letita and Sammy
Music

Programs sound effects

My main music source was from my own iTunes (Eye of the tiger). But I got the smaller sound effects such as the punching sound (which was basketball dribbling) and footsteps from the actual program itself. I have now finished the final video with all of the sound effects needed.

Trimming the sound effects

I trimmed some of the sound effects to become shorter to fit in with the video. Some of the sound effects were only needed in one part of the clip so I trimmed the clips to fit in with the movement of the video. I did this with all of the clips.
