Plan a for 30 second clip

Video game semi animated advert which shows an arcade cabinet loading up to an rpg style discussion and scenery promoting the music video

Plan b for 30 second clip 

If that is too time consuming I will make a behind the scenes video with video game elements and touches of pixelation throughout 

angeleen talking head sprite

 

I made a talking head sprite to add to textboxes - this could maybe be used for popups. this one is more emotive and interactive than the full body one but it could be seen as uncanny.

I want to experiment with adding more facial expressions rather than just open and closed

I need to add in performance sections throughout to break up the narrative a bit more

I need to refilm and further highlight the narrative as it is a little hard to understand

I need to add in the ending of the song where Angeleen will (if goes according to plan)  be burning his stuff

angeleen sprites

 

for my website to fit in with my video game aesthetic I did a photoshoot with Angeleen to recreate classic video game sprites. this was inspired by visual novels and storytelling games how characters are not animated but have sprites for each action. this was done so she can be shown on the website and advertising materials

I took many different poses and shots to give myself maximum option as to what her sprite does.

I also took some close up face photos to give myself the option to create a more RPG text based sprite

Lyric analysis

 

research and planning pitch feedback

 

30 second clip

From my pitch I developed a stronger idea of the entire brand of my music video , outside of just the video itself. I was forced to consider and strengthen intertextual links and ideas for my music video. the 30 second clip gave me the opportunity to practice the use of Capcut specifically for the purposes of a music video and thus shown me the practical applications of the style and genre. my feedback has provided me with some great ideas I hadn't thought of before particularly in terms of technique and cinematography. moving forward from this I will research into the specific conventions I need to adhere to and further consider the intertextual links I will use ( particularly since the internet and its culture is important for my brand identity).
