We're hoping to use different camera effects as cutaways in our music video, so we began to do some research into creating a sort of 3D image in our video.
In a professional production, the camera most likely to be used is shown below, which works by taking an image on four different lenses places at slightly different angles. This camera however costs quite a lot, luckily we found a app called 'Fyuse' which creates a similar effect. We will need to practise using it a bit more before filming properly, but the above video shows our first attempt. The clip can be saved in mp4 format and therefore imported to iMovie or Final Cut Pro to eventually be edited in sequence.
River, Julia and I have been talking a bit more about the angle and mood we want to go for in our music video. We've strayed a bit from out initial genre of indie rock/hip hop more toward hip hop and "neo soul".
Our final song choice: Teenage Fantasy by Jorja Smith
Wanting to focus on youth, particularly British youth, and the day to day we thought this song would suit it well. We also considered the song People by Yellow Days but the song was a lot slower paced and therefore more miserable than we hoped for.
You weren't the boy I thought I knew Maybe I was blind, I was young, I didn't have a clue
You were the topic of my lunch times
I'd bore the girls about our chance
And get upset when you didn't text back I was
warned by my brothers to find another lover
Stop falling for these boys who didn't want the same as me
I was warned by my brothers to find another lover
Stop falling for these boys who didn't want the same as me
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it we don't seem to want it
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it we don't seem to want it
I've got a lot of things to do
What if I had been a fool
And thought I was in love with you I need to grow and find myself before I let somebody love me
Because at the moment I don't know me
When I was told by my father
If I look into the future
Do I really see this boy
That I think I've fallen for
And I was told by my mother
If I look into the future
Do I really see this boy
That I think I've fallen for
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it we don't seem to want it
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it we don't seem to want it
When we are young We all want someone
Who we think is the one
Just to fit in
There's no need to rush
Take your time
Life's a big old ride
Sit back and enjoy the vibe
When we are young
We all want someone
Who we think is the one
Just to fit in
There's no need to rush Take your time
Life's a big old ride Sit back and enjoy the vibe
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it we don't seem to want it
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it we don't seem to want it
