rotoscoping
Our video idea is all about trying to put annotated masks over are humans within our video, we have got this idea form the music video 'Try life in another language-Disiz' This technique used is called 'Roto scoping'. Rota scoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement,fram by frame, for use in animated films. But what we are doing is using a member of our group to draw many pictures of weird funny pictures and we are going to film these pictures and put them within our music video over humans faces.Roto scoping was also used in many of Disney's subsequent animated feature films with human characters, such as Cinderella in 1950. Later, when Disney animation became more stylized (e.g. One Hundred and One Dalmatians ,1961), the rotoscope was used mainly for studying human and animal motion, rather than actual tracing.

analysis of a music video
Analyzing a music video using the Goodwins points, i did my video analyze i on the 'JLS' video 'Beat Again' The song is about a love and about a human heart metaphorically 'Beating again'. JLS are a boy band of four.
This video represents genre characteristics of a boy band dancing a routine, there is a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals, as the dance routine works well with the lyrics, E.G "My heart wont beat again", at this point the boys all put their hands on their heart and repeatedly move back and forth. This is very illustrative as they are all doing the same dance routine to the lyrics.
Within the video there is no frequent reference to notion of looking. This video is filmed in one place which is in a dark room with individual items such as: bike and lights shining bright.
As this boy band represent the love of fashion he camera stays close tot hem so you can get in a lot of what they are wearing and also there are a few close ups of when a few members of the group lift up their shirts and flash some flesh. This is done with close ups and as this song is a love song wit works well with the feminine viewer.
Within the video there is an inter textual reference to any other film or media product.
their video overall represents a great boy band who have passion for music and is a great video to be analyzed.

Our Pitch
We chose the song, 'Black History Month' by Death From Above 1979. Here is a youtube video of the song:
The reason we chose this song is because it is quite fast paced and wanted a video with lots in it. We want to make a video that has a combination of real life scenarios and animation to make the video very surreal. The kind of animation we want in our video is like the animation in this video:
So the sort of animation we want in the video is like 'alien heads' on normal people, UFO's parked next to cars octopus legs instead of normal legs.
We also want to shoot the music video in black and white as we feel that this will go best with the animation.

music video analysis using goodwins points
The Chemical Brothers - The Salmon Dance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDj7DuHVV9E
The genre of this music video is dance and the characteristics of the video dont quite fit the genre. But most of the chemical brothers music videos dont fit their genre becasue they are made to be quite surreal. In this case, theres no dancing in this dance music video but instead a boy is triping that the fish are singing the song.
There is a relationship between the lyrics and visuals in the video. The lyrics tell a story of teaching how to do the salmon dance and sure enough there is fish and a salmon telling you about a new dance called the salmon dance. They also do the salmon dance.
There is also a relationship between the music and visuals. There is a puffer fish beat boxing to the music.
Im not sure if the demands of the record lable are met because the band are not shown at all in this video but the video goes well with the bands reputation. The chemical brothers music is a dance genre but at the same time can be quite surreal.
There is a notion of looking in this music video, the boy is looking into the fish tank and it makes you look as well.
I cant think of any intertexual references for this music video by the chemical brothers but im sure there is one there. I just cant think of any at the moment.

More Ideas
As a group we did some brainstorming to try and come up with some more ideas for our music video:
Locations where we could shoot;
-basket ball court (teens shooting some hoops)
-A street (walking around town to make the scene ordinary but people have alien heads to make it surreal)
-parking lot/field (teens mucking about doing handbrake turns but weird arms and legs or other surreal objects can be sprouting out of the car)
-
Animations;
-alien heads
-octopus legs
-UFO's instead of cars
-bubble writing in the background
-wheels turn into heads
-speech bubbles
-

Auteurs
To prepare us for this music video project, we had to look at some music video directors and decide whether or not they were an auteur.
One of the first music video director's we looked at was Johnathon Glazer. Here is one of his videos, 'Live With Me' by Massive attack:
In the end, we decided that Glazer is an auteur because he has emotional and depressing themes throughout his videos. The videos tend to be eery, weird and surreal and this is helped by some of the special effects he uses. So if i saw one of his videos that I haven't seen before i can say that it is from Johnathon Glazer because of his unique style.

Production Meeting 1
25/09/09- in today's lesson we were all discussing what we needed to do to make are video the best it could be and everyone giving in ideas on what to do to make it the best it can be. Everyone contributed within group and gave a good opinion which we as a group are maybe going to use to help us make our music video. some of the ideas we came up with where:
- how it is going to be hard to film our VIDEO using our example 'try life in another language' by Disiz.
- how it is going to be hard to do the faces within the video and try and amke the similar within our video
-will the music go with our music idea.
These were just a few ideas we came up within our group and all have been discussed and thought upon. we will take these thoughts into consideration and try and make our video the best it can be with the idea with have thought off.

Powerpoint on Anton Corbijn
Our group analyzed an Autuer, we chose to look at Anton Corbijn, Him-self being a different video maker and film editor. His ideas are very colourless, he has very serial ideas, he shows this through all his weird videos on ein particular being metallica.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEETC3msD9U
this video shows how some of Anton Corbijn work is very serial and different to any other auteurs like chris cunningham etc.

Thursday 24 September 2009
The track we have chosen to do our music video project is 'Black History Month' by Death From above 1979. We have chose this song because we like the fast beat and we wanted to make a video with lots going on in it.
Initial Ideas:
-surreal look, shoot ordinary situations and draw surreal things like aliens
-The folowing picture is a screen drab from 'Black History Month' by Death From Above on youtube.com, This is the kind of surreal look we are going for.
