Practical Screen-craft Module: BAFI101 Lecture: Stu Bailey
Introduction to instructional video
We sat down in our group, decided on a theme for our video, gave out the roles and came up with initial ideas on how we were going to film everything. Here is a list of notes from the lesson with my group, we sat down and talked to Stu as a group, he gave us a few existing videos to watch a few in order to get some inspiration.
Main Idea:
Beauty Guru Video
Spoof
Male actor dressed as a female
Collaboration (Possibility of getting an actor from Marjons).
Ideas for channel names
Ideas for channel names
Guy name idea for channel: Sparkly Hermaphoditexx
Girl name for a channel: Blog's beauty
Possible Editing Ideas
Inside Voice
Stereotypical song (Royalty free music songs).
Q&A - Screen Grabs
Storyline - Opening ideas
Introduction of female character and the go-pro
Introduce other You-tuber [Informercial]
Typical Youtube outro Q&A
Thinking about using the go-pro 4 silver
Look at go-pro information/ specification
Storyboard
Brief
My input and given role
My chosen role was to be shared with Dan, we were given the roles of Sound, Cinematographer, Editing and Lighting. I took it upon myself to research different types of royalty free music for possible use in our instructional beauty guru video. Didn't get much luck with that so I decided to move onto look at different types of beauty hall videos as we had the idea of setting the location in someones home. The elements that I picked up on were the bright fairy lights in the background, stereotypically associated with girls as they like the girly lights, makes the background a lot more colourful for use within their Youtube videos.
Researched into the way that some Beauty Guru videos were being shot, the types of lighting, camera angles, editing techniques, typical bloopers and transitions that were used throughout the wanna be beauty guru's. I started to see that the editing was jumpy, clear that the shots thad been cut of and edited together quickly with a high pitched melody in the background, made the videos a lot less boring, the music gave the videos a different edge making you want to listen on more, some people used royalty free music with a fast tempo and slow tempo, sounded like they didn't edit the speed of the music, just let it play and then they edited the footage to the sound of the chimes. Camera angles were consisting of harsh zooms, close up, mid shots so as to show off their purchases or any items of make up that they were talking about, cut out small segments and made them in slow motion for when opening up products and then used time-lapse footage (sped up clips) for shots when we see the girls applying their make up. The backgrounds are mostly clean and bright, to make the presenter pop out from the frame, they wear a lot of make up, apply lipstick, do their hair, do anything to make themselves look good for the camera, preferable at the start they talk about the make up that they are wearing and make connotations to that with the video i.e. today I am wearing l'oreal skin care which I bought at ..... and I would recommend that you get it etc, so they try to sell the products through there appearance and what they wear in their videos.
I started to think about the types of sounds that could be used within the video, perhaps we could use the Zoom H4N mic and a shotgun mic for directional noise, including the unboxing, go pro features (clicking), constructing the additional features if any like mounts, arms etc. I think that we would need to use a Shotgun mic in order to record the voice overs, any dialogue from the presenter. As a group we came up with the idea of getting an actor from Marjons to be the face of the programme, act as if they are a You-tuber, recording a hall video, as a beauty guru.
We then came up with another idea where the You-tuber would be a man dressed as a women so as to add an element of comedy to our instructional video, thought about making the video a spoof, it would give a humorous imitation to the way that the video could be shot, events could occur where the You-tuber doesn't understand what they are talking about, seems quite unintelligent.
