Animation Vs film footage.

Author: Amy /

After collecting, collecting and collecting photographs and ideas we had to think carefully about the decision to keep the idea of film and animation or to wipe that clean and just have animation. Our main reasoning for the original idea of using animation for the Crookes video was due to their poetical and lyrical background and sound. We had to keep the origins of the band in mind as well as the target audience and genre of the band. As our confidence grew with the use of Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro we decided that we wanted our video to consist only of animation. This allowed us to play with our ideas freely, tell a story using images and also to be unique; just like the indie band themselves. With the song being 'Chorus of Fools' we had a story idea and the lyrics to this song gave us it. With the main idea of the song being about a relationship which has broken and been missed, with hope of returning, we found the use of images and the extra help of brush tools amoungst others, really kept us on track with our narrative. This in turn connected the lyrics with the visuals and we know that this is very important when producing a music video.
Test Footage:







We have used a range of images to test how we will be using key frames and to gain an understanding of building up an image, made out of a variety of other images. It allowed us to play with the effects and just get to grips with the programme and greaten our undertanding of it. We are pleased with the effect of the trial it helped us to see how the programme was going to work, how we would use key frames and how we can overlap layers etc.
The test footage has been very important to us, as we have now gained an understanding of how we will create our own video.

Here i have also included our test fiilmed footage. Due to our use of animation we didnt need much footage at all, however the sort filmed footage we did get we edited and minipulated to how we wanted it on Adobe Premiere Pro. This in turn allowed us to create the effect we wanted to connect with the rest of the animation that we created. Using the sepia tone and an old-grain overlay we were easily able to create this 1950s tone that flows throughout our video.
