Editing Problem

Our idea of re-creating our own version of the annoying orange by transposing a face onto a pair of boobs has not worked.

By creating an iris to reveal the footage underneath of my face and saturating the blue inn the footage to match that of the clothing our breasts are wearing.

By blurring focus around the iris image we hoped to create a more 'realistic' image of a face transposed onto some breasts, but overall the footage became blurred, undefined, unprofessional and overly amatuer to an extent greater than the 'viral' like a representation of an amatuer pallate.

The Annoying Orange

This is a example of a comical internet phenomenom. This video itself has at this momemnt over 35 million views. This has succedded in attracting a youthful audience with the humorous visual effects. After watching a few of these clips are group thought that transposing an image of a face onto a breast would be a good idea and run with the abstract theme in our video.



Carry On Scene

In our video we hope to re-create the famous scene from Carry on Camping.





Stages of Carry on Scene


1. Barbra Winsor Thrusting Chest Medium Shot Torso, Strapless Bra.
2. Kenneth Williams Instructing, Matron In Background.
3. Barbra’s Bra Pops Off (Shot Reverse)
4. Kenneth Catches It. (Matron Gains Hair Piece)
5. Barbra Covered, Embarassed (Medium Shot)
6. Mouth Covered Matron
7. Matron Takes Her Away

Divine

In keeping with the novelty feel of the song, and its viral like sound, the single cover reflects a playful feeling.




An album cover which I think plays on this idea of flirty fun is the cover of Divine's Greatest Hits. it is a play on the work of Andy Warhol who's prints were created to mimic the simple way in which celebrity can be created through simple representation.

Divine is represented as a strong dominant woman an image we wish to reflect in our viral video.

Shot Ideas

Tomorrow we have arranged to shoot a scene which involves a woman rubbing lotion onto her cleavage, the use of sexual imagery is a driving force for most popular musicians image and is a brilliant convention when attracting a young audience who have be subsequently informed by media stereotyping that there is a objectification and an irrational sexuality in the form of the female body which transcends the verisimilitude of the media itself.

Filming the Kitchen Scene

Today the group went back to my house to film the Kitchen scene. The filming went well and we captured all the shots we wanted plus some additional ideas we came up with while filming we did have some problems with the tripod which meant our originally planned tracking shot was unsuccesful but we plan to film this another time instead

Filming Idea

As a group we have now come up with an idea which we plan to film as soon as possible. The scene will be set in a kitchen where Stacy's character will be cooking 2 fried eggs a comical metaphor for breasts she will then force my character to eat then showing her dominant character.

Looking at a CD Cover



This Album cover is for the September 2009 Muse album; The Resistance. The Album cover won an award later that year for the best album artwork.

The Design of the cover is based around the idea of a space ship and man trying to save earth, this links to the themes and ideas of the album itself.

The colour scheme is bright and the way the colours have been placed look like they are in a rainbow format. It has a very pop art feel to it as the images look cartoon.

I really like the bright colours used in this cover and i will consider using a similar scheme when i come to create my CD cover

Change in Idea: Breast Is Best

Breast Is Best by Singer102

A change is idea has lead us to create a new song with a fun upbeat vibe.
This is the song we have created and therefore chosen to visualize in a music video. The song is novlty synth. The song is a tribute to the high energy songs of the 80s. The theme of the song is about female identity and how woman are viewed in soceity and the obsession with the "perfect body" in the present day.
