What is Chroma Key?

Chroma key is a technique for layering two images together. A color range in the top layer is made transparent, revealing another image behind. The chroma keying technique is commonly used in video production and post-production. This technique is also referred to as color keying, color-separation overlay, Green screen, and Blue screen.

This technique is also used in the entertainment industry, for example for special effects. Such as Pinnacle studio, which makes it possible and relatively easy for the average home computer user, to create videos using the Chroma key function and green screens.

Storyboard

as a group we did this story board to show how we will record our music video step by step.

Reviewing - A video created by BTEC students last year.

Narrative:                                                                                                                                         This music video is a Narrative music video.                                                                                        The sort of story that Eminem is trying to tell us is about his general life and how he got to this position.  It is also about if you get second opportunity in life and  if you get it not to let it go because you may never get it again.                                                                              


Type (Performance, Narrative, concept, mixed)
This music video is a mixed music video because it tells us a story behind it. It also tells us a meaning behind the scene which makes the audience to think. It also makes the viewer to think that what kind of message the artist is trying to tell us.


How well it follows conventions of hiphop music video: 
I think the video follows really good in concept of music videos that are around now days. It also works well with typical Hiphop's and RnB music videos.

 

Risk assessment

Risk assessment for each location 

A Risk Assessment is a systematic method of looking at work activities, considering what could go wrong, and deciding on suitable control measures to prevent loss, damage or injury in the workplace. The Assessment should include the controls required to eliminate, reduce or minimize the risks.

Drama Room

Possible Risks:

1) Falling Over Props 

2)slipping over a drink spillage

3)Tripping over a wire 

4)Unstable shelves 

5)not having a fire exit

How Will You Overcome These Risks? :

1) This could be avoided by checking that all props are in the right place and in the right position this is the job has to be done before the video.
2) This could be avoided by not allowing people(cast or crew) to bring drinks or food on set.
3) We could avoid

Lyrics Analysed

I don't want to make a scene 

I don't want to let you down                               

Try to do my own thing
And I'm starting to figure it out
Cause it's alright
Keep it together wherever we go
And it's alright, oh well, whatever
Everybody needs to know

You might be crazy
Have I told you lately that I love you?
You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try
And you need to know that you're the reason......why

I don't even care when they say
You're a little bit off
Look em' in the eye, I say
I could never get enough
'Cause it's alright
Keep it together wherever we go
And it's alright, oh well, whatever
Everybody needs to know

You might be crazy
Have I told you lately that I love you?
You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try
And you need to know that you're the reason......why

If it was raining, you would yell at the sun
Pick up the pieces when the damage is done
You say it's just another day in the shade
But look at what a mess we made

You might be crazy
Have I told you lately that I love you?
You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try

You might be crazy have i told you lately that i love you?
You're the only reason that im not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is i have to im not afraid to try

What have i learnt today?

• I have finished the Moodboard by creating a background which will help me with my music video. 
• I also have analyzed the risk assessment for the music video.
• I have started on listing locations 
• I have also started writing about the treatment.

there are three main types of music such as;

• Narrative 
• Concept 
• Performance

Narrative music videos are when there is a story behind the music. it basically tells us the story. for example:

Concept music video

Planning for the Music Video

As a group we have decided that were going to do Victoria Justice - Your the reason, in our own version.


Chosen Music Video:

Crew list; Warda Ridwan, Sabeena Khanam and Shuma Begum.

• Multi coloured backgrounds.
• Confetti
• Pillows
• Party poppers
• left over plastic cups (used)
• Draps 
• Photos

What will Happen during the video:

As a group we have decided that we are going to have a concept music video for this song. For this music video we are going use the drama set. Other then this we are going to have different flashbacks such as people dancing and having a party. This is because we don't want to bore our audiences. As a group we have decided that we are going to have random flashback which will entertain our audience more. Our group is going to have Warda, Sabeena and Shuma doing different things for the music video. In this music video were going to have multi coloured backgroud which will make our music set stand out more and it will catch our audiences eyes. Other then this were going to have random video clips and flashbacks which will keep our audiences attention.

Insperations:
Were inspired by three different music artists such as 'Katy Perry' 'Selena Gomez' and 'Victoria Justice'. Were using Katy Perry's colourful theme which she has used in her song 'Last Friday Night' or ' California girls', Selena Gomez's movement which she has used in her song 'Who Says' and Victoria Justice's song 'You're the reason'.
We are going to have Warda lip sing, Sabeena is going to arrange the props, Shuma is going to do the camera work and editing.


Camera: Shuma Begum

Protagonist: Warda Ridwan

Props: Sabeena Khanam
