Changes to Video

I am going to outline a few changes that have been made to the intial idea of my music video.

Stop motion
My stop motion ideas originally consisted of stop motion toast, slippers and coins.
I have now limited my stop motion ideas because of my other ideas and a slight problem with the camera i used.
When takinng pictures of the toast and coffee, i had trouble with the toast disappearing at the same time as the coffee cup turning around. Alongside this the lighting was causing the camera to focus on a different aspect of the frame, which didnt help. I therefore decided to try and at least get pictures of the slippers moving along the floor. Which prooved more difficult then i first imagined. The first fault with this was no matter where i took pictures of the slippers the shot looked unproffesional and grainy. I therefore decided not to use these.
 I then came to a decision that when the lyrics played 'i want my money back' i would have stop motion coins. I had no problem taking these particular pictures, only what background and floor i was going to use. After trying three i came to the conclusion that a wooden background and a spotted floor would make for the perfect background i wanted.

Background image problems.
At first i wanted the majority of my filming to be created outside. However, the weather prooved difficult to do this, especially with my protagonist only being in a dress.
Therefore i developed other ideas of shot backgrounds. Mainly using the 'Green room' in which i shot alot of video in. This enabled me to edit the background using Abdobe pro editing software to manipulate the background into looking like the shot was outside.
