PRINT PRODUCTION IDEAS
The slightly out of focus shots created by the Lomokino create a home-style video feel to the film. This will add to our music video as it focuses around an ordinary story and character(much like a home video), the montage clips will enhance this idea too as often many clips of different places or people are usually placed together. This idea is presented in some of the sequences in Amelie, the scenes reflecting Amelie's childhood are edited to look like a film camera creating a home video style. This is important for our piece as Amelie is also focused around one female character and her emotions and also ties in with the links of colour in the film.

The blue tint in these shots was unintentional, and although works very well with the shots that have a blue background it does not provide anything for the yellow or red shots. For these shots we will need to slightly colour correct them in editing to ensure that the colours are clearly different and prominent as this is a key feature in our video.

The close up shots work best with the Lomokino as overcrowded shots are usually out of focus, the more minimal the shot, the better the quality and focus of the camera. The colours in many of these shots stands out, and because this is the focus of our music video, the print production must show.
If these shots are deliberately out of focus then you need to explain the purpose of this and the blue tint.
ReplyDeleteI'm wary of you doing shots that are out of focus unless contrasted with shots that are sharply focused. These shots could be misconstrued as poor cinematography. You could begin a sequence with out of focus shots, then zoom in to sharp focus. Take heed of this advice .
