The Lumineers, Ho Hey [wip]

Ho Hey by The Lumineers




Here the Lumineer's use the lights to help the narrative along. We have taken inspiration in having the lights flash on and off in the video. We feel this helps to keep the viewers attention. The Lumineers are very much the same genre as our music track, however the sub genres vary. We took inspiration from the differing setting and the idea of the lights. We also liked the costumes which seemed to be slightly vintage in style.

Camera



We had a little bit of a problem with the camera. Some how I had managed to save the clips as mpeg4. This meant we couldn't open the clips to edit them. However after talking to the technicians we are able to import them to Imovie and then save them to my usb card to put on the computer.

Performance Shots



We filmed an shot of our performer. We filmed in the music section of Suffolk One, in an spare room. We had a blue backdrop behind him, but we are thinking of desaturating the clip. We kept the shot as an mid shot, to show the music stand and headphones we had placed on the said performer. This is to try and include 'star image'.

Editing



We were editing today. We had to edit in time with the beat. We also desaturated the picture. We quickly cut between two different clips. To show the 'angel' disappearing. We had to make sure that the shots matched up enough, and didn't look overly out of place. Over all, I think we did quite well.

Storyboarding

We storyboarded what we thought the performance bit of our video would look like. I have uploaded a picture here.
