20.Finished Video

Lady Gaga - Monster http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pb3JUnnM9Y

19.Creative Camera Use

Gaga's video Telephone consists of many stuttered shots using the phone and dancing! We did try to achieve this in the first week of filming however we couldn't figure out how to make me stutter like Beyonce! She is merely moving her head side to side into the phone and the shot is then being reversed really quickly to create that stutter effect!However in the beginning of the video i do one of the Telephone stutter dances towards the camera!I like this idea as it fits in with the referencing! Alejandro uses flashes of text to introduce the video much like our choice to use text as a subtitle for a silent movie! I liked this effect a lot as it is bold and clear and keeps the consistency in font type similar to the album cover. I love this shot of Nosferatu. It's iconic and known by everyone! we attempted it more than 10 times before we got one good shot!it looks really effective in the part I have placed it and goes with storyline, instead of Dracula walking up the stairs, he's walking down and out.
The film Reel burning effect at the ending was planned from the very beginning, unfortunately because of the loss of time, we weren't able to achieve this ending. It ties in with the old movie style and would have ended at a cliff hanger never to be answered.
If we had more time on our hands, again the beginning would have used the 6 second countdown to an old movie style film.
Charlie Chaplin's silent movies are full of funny laughs and in this one romance. i love the subtitles for speech and i think my video holds the hint of a little comedy in it. Dracula isn't the one Gaga wants and in one scene, Dracula really messes up!
I LOVE the Thriller dance! I tried to incorporate it as much but as different as i can in the video, by using the claws grabbing outwards and inwards i think i got that in there!Jackson fans will most certainly love Gaga!
AGAIN! I love Paparazzi.The style of my miming and dancing came from this video and acting it rather than singing it! It definitely had the desired effect I wanted it to.

18.Rejected Footage

The clips I decided to reject from the sequence was the second trial of the opening sequence. This was of a girl getting ready for a fancy dress party and falls down the stairs. She wakes in the woods and finds the Wolf.However, it was too long and elaborated for a Gaga Style video!




During editing, any footage i didn't use but still wanted to look at it kept in the sequence box and in the bin. i can drag them onto the timeline as and when i want to and refer back to any missed shots. I did this several times and it was big help!




These screen grabs are shots to show how much rejected footage we had left over. the picnic scene wasn't used at all in fact, I think we had too much footage!



However it's good to have enough footage to pick from!

17. Photographs

These Photographs were taken on shoots for both the Digipak and Adverts in the group. I feel the images I chose were effective and cleverly edited in an imaginative way, by cutting faces in half, using particular key areas, flipping images, desaturating and adding the film grain effect to create the B-side horror movie feel. Changing the brightness and contrast is also needed to achieve the crackled look of an old film. I really like the images we shot over the two shoots!
