CONSTRUCTION: MUSIC VIDEO EDITING

In todays lesson, Elliot, Max and I decided to focus on editing more of our music video, using iMovie. We discussed which order we would put the different scenes in – which will eventually show the stereotypical view of life in California. This view includes the American and Hollywood obsession with product and materialism that is referred to in the lyrics of the song. The stereotypical aspects also consist of people splashing out on all the latest popular fashion items and expensive treatments, such as Botox and plastic surgery, in order to give  them the ideal 'perfect' image.

Besides this, we also had the challenge of editing the Californication track in so it was in perfect timing with the lip-syncing of Max, who is the main singer in our video. It is important to get this key convention of lip-synching spot on as we want to make it look like Max is actually singing. If the lip-synching wasn't in time with the sound track it would look extremely unprofessional and would make it obvious that he isn't actually singing.

PLANNING: TRELLO

I began to use the website Trello to create a to-do list associating with my media work.

Trello allows you to make make lists that are labelled 'to do', 'doing', and 'done'. This is very useful for planning and organising my activities as it helps me to keep on top of my work.
