The band.

A few post back showed/and talked about the band sequence. Eventhough it is only a small bit of the music video it is important as it breaks all the photographs up. We were told and thought it was to create a silhotte in finale cut by having them in front of a white background. However i didnt work out, one reason was we stupidly put the camera on the side not thinking that it would be turned up on the screen. So most of Ross's shots looked like this.

It was/is extremly fustrating. But even more annoying the the silhotte didnt work. We tried uping the contrast but it just isnt what we had in mind. Ideally we need a massive thing sheet ( that is pinned up) with a huuggee light behind the person. But i think we are running out of time and its just not working. We thought of different ways to present the band. We have got some photos of the band to carry through the transiton if each section but like i said i think we need real footage. We also tried a photomontage, inspired by the The Reeling, Passion Pit song, and also Kings of Leon CD cover where sections of a face builds up one.

But i think it dosent fit in the video so we cut it out. Still trying to find something to fit in and runnig out of time! As we need to know where everything is going, we decided to return back to what we done. We used an effect called Edge which basically just shows the edge. It is the closest we could get to a sillhote without having one. However it is very dark. And is a big contrast as most of the video is still light. Argh have to think of new ideas !
