In the summer holidays the whole year group were given some homework to do inoder to make the course run a little smoother. One of our homework tasks was to creat the I Feel Better music video by Hot Chip. We had to follow the music video shot-for-shot to create a music video that looks exteremly similar. Some students were actors, some we camera crew ect.
Hot Chip - I Feel Better (Original):
My task was Hair & Make Up. I had to make Cancer Jesus (Joe) look extremely pale and this was a difficult task. I used a mixture of face paint and talc-powder to create the end result.
On a whole the day was very enjoyable and very valuable. It gave us an insight as to how how much effort and energy it takes to create a music video. From it i learnt that planning and keeping on top of the planned times is important. I also learnt that is important to direct the actors through every step of their performance and to keep their energy levels high by providing food and drink is equally as important in getting a quality end result. It is also intresting to know that make-up needs to be touched up very often as it can melt off under lighting.
