Filming

Now that there is a structure to the pop song we have decided it is time to start the video. We have been thinking about the video whilst composing the song and thought that we would use the Little red riding hood theme. Yesterday we drew up storyboards, most of the shots we had already considered. We had a few influences from the Metz Judderman video and the old Nosferatu film. We also watched a few Svankmajer films and got a few ideas. Carla suggested we do some animation type effects like the Peter Gabriel Sledgehammer video with our clothes. We intend to make the video abit silly using these different techniques and influences. We will film next week so this we are making preparation to our costumes and the set. We have bought red pashminas and red and black stripy socks, we have also planned objects in the 'grandmothers room'. We visited an exhibit at the mac called 'folk art and fairy tales' were we had a few ideas, so today we made paper mache toadstools and carla has an old pillow case that we will make into wolf ears. We also had a chat with Nick about post production effects and intend to try and replicate the handcranked camera effect and masking effects used in the Judderman video this way. We are also interested in fiddling with the colours like dulling everything and highlighting the reds and/or green.
