All about me video
An “All About Me” video serves as a personal introduction, designed to provide the audience with an insight into the individual they are choosing to watching. Its purpose is to help viewers develop a clearer understanding of the creator’s background, personality, and interests, which can foster a stronger sense of connection and relatability, as the audience may feel closer or more alike to they person they are choosing to watch.
In this video, I discuss aspects of my life, explain my reasons for choosing to take Media Studies again, and outline my hobbies and interests as well as what I am thinking of doing next year in university. I created this project using AI technology (Magic Light), which has enabled me to further develop my skills in working with AI tools. However, for my next preliminary task, I intend to avoid using AI so that I can focus on strengthening my editing abilities through the use of real life footage.
Mini Music Video
Preliminary Task 2 – Music Video
Before producing a music video as my second preliminary task, I set 3 goals I should work towards:
– Practice producing a short music video
–Trying to improve my grade from last year
–Trying to add more meaning to whatever I am producing
Planning/ Shot list
ELS(Extreme long shot) – slow pan of the beach
Long Shot – Running around (Change the exposure)
Mid Shot – 75 degree angle facing a person setting the ball – 0.65% speed
Close up – Tracking shot of the ball – convey emotion
ECU – Of the sunset/rise
The planning for this music video, i tried to focus on using a variety of shot types and camera techniques to create a visually engaging music video that and guides the audience’s emotions.
The scene begins with an extreme long shot (ELS) of the beach with a slow pan. This helps to establish the setting and give the audience a clear sense of location. By slowly panning across the beach, the viewer can take in the environment and atmosphere before the action begins. It also helps set the mood of the scene, especially since it is taking place during sunset.
Next, a long shot of someone running around the beach was planned. This shot shows the character’s full body and movement while still keeping some of the background visible. Changing the exposure was included in the planning to adjust the lighting so the scene remains clear and visually balanced, especially if the natural light changes we also planned on doing this to create more of a retro vibe, set in the 1980’s or so.
A mid shot filmed at a 75 degree angle was planned for the moment when a person is setting the volleyball. This angle adds a slightly more dynamic perspective compared to a fowards shot. Slowing the footage to 0.65 speed was planned to emphasize the action and make the moment feel more dramatic and focused on the pure and good of hanging out and playing sports with friends..
The close up tracking shot of the ball was planned to capture movement and emotion. By following the ball closely, the audience’s attention is directed to the key object in the scene, and it helps build tension or excitement as the action unfolds. This is also important as the volleyball is a motif of change and also comes back later in the video to show how things change over time and therfore show how it went from this one person with all of his friends to now only them playing volleyball.
Finally, an extreme close up (ECU) of the sunset was planned to end the scene. This shot provides a strong visual ending and enforces the atmosphere of the beach setting. It also creates a calm or reflective moment after the action.
