Tom and Jerry Evaluation

Tom and Jerry is an old cartoon, therefore i went for a older music theme much like the original cartoon is therefore i looked to keep an old school soundtrack behind the film, and use original cartoon sound effects to make it feel in-keeping with the look of the cartoon. I do think my sound effects fit the cartoon well and compliment the movements on the screen. The sound effects i recorded were all the verbal ones which i those to record in chinese off of google translate, because i was trying to keep an original feel to the cartoon I felt like i needed to at least change something. The way i did this was to borrow a Sony sound recording device from the media office and type in the dialog into google translate so it would play out loud the spoken words through the macs speakers. I then used the Sony recorder to record the sounds and imported them into premier pro and put them in my cartoon. For all my other sound effects I went on to Youtube and downloaded a soundtrack of all the sound effects that are used on loony tunes, I took this soundtrack into premier pro and picked it apart for sounds that would match the things going on in my cartoon. I am happy with how my cartoon turned out however the one thing i would change is that i would not have my voices in chinese or recorded off of google translate because i feel this didnt work as well as i planned because the voices were out of sync with the characters, Instead i would record them myself or get someone else to voice my dialog so that they could get it in sync with the cartoons talking.

Preparing to shoot on location

It is important to make a plan before you go out and film because, having a plan will cut the time it takes to film the piece because you know exactly what you are going to film. The report may also be not filmed to the standard that it should be as it has not been though out well enough. If you didnt plan before filming a news report on location you could have disruption from the public or not know what to say when you were on air.

The Brief

My Video starts with a long shot of the singer at her piano beginning to play the song. This is followed by a close up of the singer singing the song. It then cuts to shots of the singers brother having his hair shaved off at an army base. this is followed by other shots at the base like him being yelled at by his superiors and saluting fro example. After this there is an overhead shot of the singer playing the piano. Then there is a short montage of the brother training at his camp for example running and doing monkey bars. There is a global shot of planet earth then zooming in to Afghanistan the shot zooms in to a helicopter flying across a desert towards an army base. Along shot of the brother walking down a war torn road is next, then the video once again cuts back to the singer showing a close up of her singing into a mic. The next shot is an extreem long shot of a bomb going off showing that the brother has died in combat. the video ends with the singer weeping as she finishes singing the song.

Assignment 2: Task 2

For This  piece of music i visualize a simple performance video coupled with a narrative in the music video. I would have the singer sat at a piano playing the song with a plain background in black and white with occasional cutaways of a soldier living life at war. My music video would feature a slight narrative showing a soldier preparing to go to war at a training camp in england and gradually showing his story up until he is flown out to a war zone it will end with him actually going out to fight. All throughout this narrative there will be shots in black and white of the singer performing the song in a plain room at a piano.  I think this would fit the music because the song is about her brother going to war and her feeling 'disconnected' from him, therefore the soldier element i think would fit the piece of music also the black and white performance bit would also fit well to add to the sadness of the music video.
