We are planning to do our video in a post apocalyptic style, we have taken a lot of inspiration from many different types of media formats.
The book of Eli has many features that would work well in a music video, for instance the camera tint makes the trailer look very bleak and desolate.
Mad Max is a classic example of the post Apocalyptic genre
Games like Borderlands and fallout 3 have also been a big inspiration to the idea of our music video. They both have the post apocalyptic genre that we want our music video to have. Also some of the clothing that they wear would work really well.
Many of the video's and games that we have looked at for inspiration have various dark shades of tint on the screen, we think that it would be a good ideato incorperate this idea into our video, after we fininsh filming and editing we can put the effect in by changing the colour saturation in adobe after effects.
We also thought about having some of the video shot in black and white, because mnay films incorperate monocrome.
Evening chaps. Mr Smith here. As you know I like a bit of a snoop about on other groups blogs, especially those of students who have previously been under my tutelage.
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued to see that post apocalyptic is the theme which you are embracing (mixed with some elements of steam punk). This is an interesting decision and one which isn't terrifically easy to create. The problem with the apocalypse is that it generally entails widespread death and destruction, often as a result of a nuclear winter or some form of global pandemic. I will be interested to see just how you create such devastation. Good luck boys and I'm praying you aren't planning to release spores of some previously unheard of pathogen into the local environment.
I agree with my esteemed colleague. This type of video would usually have a large budget and significant post production in terms of special effects. As far as i know you have neither, therefore you need to exercise some caution. You can still use elements of you idea such as costume, but you will need to be selective with the other elements that you incorporate. Don't over complicate things, try to keep it all as simple and as doable as possible.
