Clothing ideas for my video

These clothing ideas I would like to use in my video, as I think they will look good when the video is put into black and white. They will also fit with the theme of the music video.

Test Footage Shadow



 
This test footage inspired me to try this against the water with my horse, hopefully resulting in seeing him run past the water only by seeing his shadow; I think this will look really good in black and white as his colour will then really stand out against the water. The use of this test footage allowed me to gain experience not only practicing it on the camera but then how to carry out editing it on the computer, I think it’s a really effective effect and would fit really well with the genre of my music video as it’s a simple effect like the other effects on plan on using in my music video.

Test Footage of Slow Motion and B/W



My test footage was put in black and white, as I want my whole music video to be put in B/W. I might have some aspects of colour at main points. I also changed the speed duration, as I want certain parts of my video in slow motion, and some parts to be quicker, the test footage allowed me to see if it looks effective, and would work in my video. I also took this test footage with a shoulder mount, to see if I could take footage using this equipment, and if it looks steady and not blurry when uploaded to Premiere. Although when i take my final footage it will be completely different to something like this as it will be a horse running at a must faster speed, but it still allowed me to gain experience will trial and error and to just see how everything works.

Test Footage



The Test of the Low Angle shot of Rowans feet using the shoulder mount equipment again, allowed me to see if I could use this in my final video, as I want to follow my horses feet when he is running, then put it in slow motion. The shoulder mount, allowed me to do this and it kept it looking steady at the same time, and not fuzzy and blurry. The shoulder mount will be the perfect equipment for my music video, as hopefully i will be taking shots at lots of different angles and at lots of different speeds, so just by shooting text footage it was giving me experience with it.

making of Only the horses


This video, really inspired me for my music video, especially the various shots and angles of the horses moving at different speeds. I am hopefully going to try a few of these shots using a shoulder mount, especially of my horse's feet running, then after uploading it to After Effects putting it into slow motion, as it is in this video. This video shows a clip of a part of their storyboard, in which they clearly used to plan how they were going to make the final product. This I took into account when I was creating my story board, as I put as much detail into it as possible, so when it comes to shooting my video I will have a clear and vivid idea infront of me, and also to relate to if I get stuck filming.

Video ideas


I love this video, and it really inspired me to carry on with my idea of using horses, it also gave me pointers and hints of ideas I could use in my video. I really like the shot of the horses feet in slow motion, this is something I will hopefully use in my video (but not the same) using a shoulder mount. I also like the use of colour (paints), I would like to put my video in black and white, but certain parts I might leave in colour for extra effect.
