Workshop Task
Ask these questions before making the film:
Content & style –
Film/Animation?
Typography/text led?
Sound?
On screen talent?
Creative & Production –
Narrative & scripting – write it very simply & make sure to keep referring to it
Storyboard (your best friend) sketch out each scene – everything builds from this (music, pace & colour palette)
Casting
Music – Work on it as soon as you can
Plan out the Budget
Inspiration –
Mainly found through insight
Or else you can draw inspiration – in terms of how to communicate your idea (can be drawn from dance, music, art).
Things to consider:
Audience (make the film style appeal to them)
Tap into the skills of those around you
Don’t be scared to try something new
Be on schedule – set the time for each part of the editing
Tips from D&AD:
Don’t go with the obvious idea (in terms of video)
Keep it clean and simple
Brevity & clarity – Do you know if the video clearly conveys the core concept?
First focus on explaining succinctly, and then elaborate
Task: Choose a film (Anabelle) and create a one-minute film video based on the genre you received (Music Video)
Watch the Annabelle music video made with iMovie.
