This video is one that we done in the studio last week, but i have now added a relevant song to make it more appealing to the viewer.

This screen grab shows that i was downloading my music using a website called 'youtube converter'. I used this website because it downloaded the music fast and into an mp3 file.
Stop frame video
Today we went outside with the cameras and the tripods, to take images as if it was like we were recording. Each time we were about to take another image we had to move slightly to create this video look. In this video we chose to stand on some steps and kept changing who was at the front so it looked like we were walking down the stairs. We done this until we got to the last step and then we had two people looking for the last person because she wasn't in the image, and then the person on her own was captured looking for the other two. When we got back to the class room we had to put the images together into a stop frame video and i also added my own pieces of music that i thought would related to the video and to make it more interesting.

Stop Frame Video
Camera - Cannon 5D
Lighting - Bowen
In todays lesson we went into the studio and were experimenting stop frame videos. We have done a few examples using objects, and people from the class. We all worked together and joined in to help make the videos. We made three different videos by using cloths and objects that were in the studio. A few of us took it in turns at taking the pictures while other people wee moving the objects around the floor. We used many different materials to make the background different and so that the colors resembled different objects, e.g blue for the sky/sea. This was our first time in the studio shooting a stop frame video therefore we only had a vague idea of what we were going to be doing. We set all of the lighting so that it wasn't too bright but you could see all of the effect.
For the first video Gorge was shot as he was swimming. As he was first we only had a vague idea that the material/objects were to be moved as well. We could have made this video better by adding more objects so that is wasn't just him in the photograph. This ment that other things were in the shots than just Gorge.
For the second video, we tried to expand on our ideas so we decided to imagine that we were at a skate park. We done this by using cloth materials as the background. We had a red material as the main background color but we also had purple in the background. We used a yellow/orange cloth as the ramp. Then dylan was moving to each picture being taken with his skate board going down the ramp slightly each time. At the end of the pictures being taken Dylan was acting as he fell off the skate board. To make this better we could of made more room for the images to be taken, also we could have made it better by having more things going on in the background.
For the final video, we expanded more because we had things moving in the background as well as Sammy walking with a suitcase in her hand. In the background the clouds and the sun were both moving slightly in each image capture. We had a blue cloth as the sky, grey cloth as the path she was walking on and then we had two white cloths as the clouds. Towards the end of taking pictures Sammy was told to pretend to drop the suitcase. To make this better we could have used different objects so it was easier to make around the floor.
To make sure that the studio was safe, when a person was standing on the ladders to take the pictures we had someone holding the ladders. We also had the people that went taking part sitting to the sides so that they didn't get in the way when we wee shooting.
