How has this video been edited? The video begins with a monologue about love and heartbreak by an unseen narrator. this video has a lot of short clips that have all been edited to suite the song. this music video has no start or end, it starts with the same scene. Multiple scenes of Rhianna and her lover are inter-cut throughout the narration, depicting them in different love and hate situations with each other. The two are shown as completely enamored with each other while engaging in fun activities together, including going on rides in a fairground and eating in fast food restaurants. During the chorus, images of drugs, various pills and dilated pupils are shown, while brief scenes of Rhianna and her boyfriend preparing to engage in sexual intercourse and their various stages of undress are shown. The chorus continues and the video abruptly cuts to Rhianna and other people at an outdoor rave, dancing to music. Calvin Harris features as the DJ during this scene.
Sences from the music video
This scene shows another shot of Rhianna being projected against by a blank wall in a room, this looks professional and very effective when the audience is watching.
The close up on the eyes in this shot show the eyes diluting. This happens when people have too much of a certain drug so this could be the diluting of the eyes after having a certain drug.
This scene is a jackpot machine with losers bouncing around the screen. This could mean that Rhianna and her partner are only going to lose what they have and this love means nothing.
The colours of this cigarette are changing into rainbow colours. This close up could be the bright and colourful colours you see while you are 'high'
This is scene shows them together, this shot is a 360 arc; this emphasizes that they are drunk because when people are drunk the room starts spinning around
This shot shows Rhianna being projected against a blank wall in a corner which makes this shot very effective and professional
Welcome to the world of Blue Screen / Green Screen composting! Once the exclusive domain of Hollywood special effects artists, blue screen composting expanded to include video and computer imaging. There are many mysteries to the successful execution of a blue screen composite and considerable confusion as to what a blue screen composite is.
What is Blue Screen Imaging?
(First a note about terminology: when I first wrote this page in 1995, the common term in use was "blue screen" composting. Since then the vogue has shifted to calling it "green screen". The broader term from the days of film optical effects is "traveling matte composite", but that has fallen out of favor. For now, this page will mainly refer to the process as blue screen, but almost everything here applies to green screen effects too, except where noted.)
Creating a blue screen composite image starts by photographing a subject in front of an evenly lit, bright, pure blue (or green) background. The composting process, whether photo-chemical or digital, replaces all the blue in the picture with another image, known as the background plate.
Blue screen composites can be made optically for still photos or movies, with dedicated real time hardware for live video, and digitally using software to composite still and motion images. Until the the 1990s most blue screen composting for films was done optically, and all television composites were done using analog real time hardware.
In addition to blue, other colors can be used. While green has become the most common; sometimes red has been used for special purposes.
Another term for Blue Screen is Chroma-Key. Chroma-Key is a television process only. A more sophisticated television process is Ultimate; also the name of the company that manufactures Ultimate equipment. Ultimate has been the ultimate in video composting for 20 years. With an Ultimate unit it is possible to create composites that include smoke, transparent objects, different shades of blue, and shadows. Ultimate now makes software that works with other programs to create digital mattes, either as a standalone program, or as a filter for programs such as Photoshop and After Effects from Adobe.
How does Chroma Key work?
The Chroma Key process is based on the luminance key. In a luminance key, everything in the image over (or under) a set brightness level is "keyed" out and replaced by either another image, or a color from a color generator. (Think of a keyhole or a cookie-cutter.) For example, a title card with white on black titles is prepared and placed in front of a camera. The camera signal is fed into the keyer's foreground input. The background video is fed into the keyer. The level control knob on the keyer is adjusted to cause all the black on the title card to be replaced by the background video. The white letters now appear over the background image.
Luminance keying works great with titles, but not so great for making live action composites. When we want to key people over a background image, problems arise because people and their clothing have a wide range of luminance tones. Hair, shoes and shadow areas may be very dark, while eyes, skin highlights and shirt collars can approach 100% white. Those areas might key through along with the backdrop.
Chroma Key creates keys on just one color channel. Broadcast and high end consumer cameras cameras use three independent sensors, one for each primary color-- Red, Green and Blue. Many cameras can output these RGB signals separately from the composite video signal. So the original chroma key was probably created by feeding the blue channel of a camera into a luminance keyer. This works, sort of, but soon manufacturers created dedicated chromakeyer's that could accept all 3 colors, plus the background composite signal, and the foreground composite signal. This made it possible to select any color for the key and fine tune the selection of the color tint, chroma level and luminance level.
As keyer's became more sophisticated, with finer control of the transition between background and foreground, the effect became less obvious and jarring. Today's high-end keyer's can make a soft key that is essentially undetectable. Some of the best modern Special Effects Generator Switchers from Grass Valley Group, Sony, and others can create composites rivaling the performance of a dedicated Ultimate unit. (Though they are not as good at removing blue spill, working through water or fabric, etc.)
Why Blue? Can't other colors be used?
Red, green and blue channels have all been used, but blue has been favored for several reasons. Blue is the complementary color to flesh tone--since the most common color in most scenes is flesh tone, the opposite color is the logical choice to avoid conflicts. Historically, cameras and film have been most sensitive to blue light, although this is less true today.
Green has its own advantages, beyond the obvious one of greater flexibility in matting with blue foreground objects. Green paint has greater reflectance than blue paint, which can make matting easier. Also, video cameras are usually most sensitive in the green channel, and often have the least noise in that channel. A disadvantage is that green spill is almost always objectionable and obvious even in small amounts, while blue can sometimes slip by unnoticed.
Sometimes (usually) the background color reflects onto the foreground talent creating a slight blue tinge around the edges. This is known as blue spill. It doesn't look nearly as bad as green spill, which one would get from green.
Traditionally, a single camera was used as the Chroma Key camera. This creates a problem on three camera sets; the other cameras can see the blue screen. The screen must be integrated into the set design, and it is easier to design around a bright sky blue than an intense green or red. However, modern Special Effects Generators (Usually just called "Switchers" in the US, more accurately called "Vision Mixers" in the UK and elsewhere) can accommodate multiple camera sources, whether as RGB analog, or SDI video, inputs.
Useful Tips
If you are going to step into the world of Chroma Keying, you need a few things first.
You need foreground footage, for starters. Foreground footage is your subject, and your color screen. You also need background footage, which is the scenery that is going to be replacing the color screen.
The color screen needs to be evenly lit so that it is the exact color all the way across. Shadows caused by poor lighting can wreak havoc on the Chroma Key process. Also, be aware of your foreground subject lighting. It is important to have two separate sets of lights, and to have the subject far enough away from the screen that the foreground lighting will not interfere with the screen lighting in the back.
Once the subject has been properly lit and the background color successfully keyed, it is time to add the new background scene.
When these two are placed together, your actor is suddenly transported from a large blue screen to anywhere you want the only limits are your imagination, and of course, what kind of film you can get your hands on.
This is a video all about chroma key!

A Risk Assessment is a systematic method of looking at work activities, considering what could go wrong, and deciding on suitable control measures to prevent loss, damage or injury in the workplace. The Assessment should include the controls required to eliminate, reduce or minimize the risks.
Drama Room
Possible Risks:
1) Falling Over Props
2)slipping over a drink spillage
3)Tripping over a wire
4)Unstable shelves
5)not having a fire exit
How Will You Overcome These Risks? :
1) This could be avoided by checking that all props are in the right place and in the right position this is the job has to be done before the video. 2) This could be avoided by not allowing people(cast or crew) to bring drinks or food on set. 3) We could avoid this by by checking that there are no wires were the crew can trip over, by checking before you start shooting. 4) This could be avoided by checking if there are shelf's, check that they are stable and are not likely to cause a hazard. 5) This could be avoided by checking that were ever we shoot our music video there is a fire exit, in case a fire happens to start.

Planning rest of Mise En Scene (clothing, props, make-up, effects etc)
The narrative of this music video is to portray the protagonist in a way where the audience can see that the story is based around him and his current emotions towards the world and his/her life.
Mise En Scene
They had worn there own clothes and brought there own props they need for the music video.
Type (Performance, Narrative, concept, mixed)
This Music video is a mixed video because its tells a story and it also has a meaning behind the video and what kind of message that it is trying to get across to their viewers.
How well it follows conventions of hip-hop music video
I Think it follows very well in concepts of hip-hop music videos that are around these days and it really works well with how a typical hiphop or RnB Music video would look like and sound like.
This is a video performance from the show victorious which is on nickelodeon. We chose this song because we were inspired by the song and we were also inspired by three artist Selena Gomez- Who says and Kate Perry's - Last Friday Night and Victoria Justice-
Type of Music Video:
This music Video is a concept music video props:
We are going to use :
What Will Happen During The Video:
In this music video that we will be producing involves the protagonist Singing the song and going around the room, which is messed up after she has thrown a big party and is expressing her feelings towards her sister/ boyfriend or family. Locations:
This video is about a man sitting in a hotel the possible storyline could be
Stage1) Man sitting down hears funky music and starts to dance
Stage2) goes through parts of the hotel dancing along to the music.
Stage3) He stats to magically fly around, after coming out of the elevators
Treatment (concept)
This video is a dance/performance video because it has a man which starts randomly dancing in a hotel. The over all feel of this video is great it makes you want to get up and dance along in a weird and ridiculous way. I don’t think this video has any emotions apart form the emotions shown in his dance moves which are quite relaxed and free at all times.
Connection to the song
Misses En Scene (what the camera sees)
Clothes/Make up- Make-up which is on the dancers face
Locations- different parts of a building which I am guessing is a hotel.
Props:
1)Flower Vase
2)Loads of Chair’s
3)Towel Rack
4)Lamps
5)Plants
6)Curtains
7)Bell
8)Escalators
9)Massive Painting on the wall
10)More Tables and chairs
Lighting- It was a really bright lighting
Actor movements/expressions- lots of running and dancing to the beat of the music, the actors expressions were dull and happy at the same time/
Camera shots/types/movements:
There were lots of Long shot, close-ups in this music video mainly because the actor was moving a lot of the time, but overall it had shots where there are some High shots, low shots and tilt.
Historic, Social and Cultural Context:
Funk legend Bootsy Collins helped write this song and played on it. Collins played bass for George Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic, and has worked on many side projects, including The Bootzilla Orchestra and Deee-Lite. And did you know In David Lynch's film adaptation of Dune, Paul Atreides says to his mother (82 minutes into the movie): "If we walk without rhythm, we won't attract the worm." This is the likely source of the lyrics, "Walk without rhythm, it won't attract the worm." (thanks, Jason - Sydney, Australia)
The video features Christopher Walken dancing. Walken is famous for playing an evil psycho in movies like True Romance, The Deer Hunter, Sleepy Hollow, and Pulp Fiction, which made for a very interesting video because it turns out Walken is a great dancer. He danced in musicals at the beginning of his career.
The video was shot over 2 days in the lobby of a Marriott Hotel in Los Angeles shortly before Christmas in 2000.
This won a Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video. Collins accepted the award with Slim.
The video won 6 MTV Video Music awards: Breakthrough Video, Best Direction, Best Choreography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, and Best Cinematography.
This video is about Micheal Jackson in his early stages of his life when he used to be in a band with his brothers, they were called the jackson5. In this video we see Micheal preform the song ABC, this video has a little bit of dancing and singing in but overall the video shows how talented Micheal was at the 13 years.
I think this video makes education seem fun for the youngest for viewers because the song keeps on singing the first 3 letters of the alphabet consistently. The song is catchy and has a good rhythm to it. The music video is just a performance of the band advertising their song on national T.V after it was played on the radio.
Its Fun and educational for little kids and the chorurs is catchy and it has a nice catchy rhythm to it.
