For our A2 transition project we chose The Smiths' "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now". We decided to do a very simple video of someone singing the song on a bench looking depressed and animate cartoon images on top of this layer. We filmed medium close up and close up as well as short extra shots for interaction with the cartoons as show below:
We edited the main layer of video to black and white to contrast with the bright colours of the cartoons.
The idea was that the song has a running theme of negatives and positives and the good to bad. This was reflected in the sad, lonely, grey figure surrounded by happy, bright cartoons.
This was the first time I had ever used Adobe Premiere and I learnt a lot of completely new skills from making the video. Everything from simply positioning the video and music in good timing, video transitions, altering the video to black and white and changing the contrast and, of course, animation.
