Experimenting With Stop Motion
Here, my partner and I have experimented with stop motion. For this, we took a number of continuous photographs using sports mode on a high quality camera. We asked our subject to simply walk at a variety of different paces therefore, seeing how each speed reacted when sequencing the photographs. Furthermore, we also trialled singular photographs, positioning ourselves alternatively on different steps. After this process was completed our photographs were loaded onto imovie and edited using filter variations and different effects. Once this was complete, music was added, interlinking with the colour filter and additionally, labelling the stop motion video with a genre.
I feel that this investigation was successful however, over the time period of 10s, we managed to use a total of 61 photographs. In realistic terms, the expense of this would be too high to use throughout our entire music video therefore, we will only construct a small section using printed photographs, the rest being both narrated and illustrated film.

Where did the inspiration for this idea come from? Was it another music video? Why do you think that the style would suit your song?
ReplyDeleteThe inspiration for our idea of stop motion came from a music video watched in class called 'Breathe me' by Sia. This consisted of an entire video using stop motion, being projected onto individual cards as they were laid down. This in turn told a narrative, something that we hope to create in our music video. Predominately, we thought this would suit the style of our song due to our storyline consisting of both the past and presen tenset. Hence, we hope to use stop motion to represent the flashbacks of our young girl, using the irregular pattern to illustrate alternating moments of conscious and unconsciousness of the mind, due to excessive drug consumption.
