The reason we wanted to use animation was due to the fact that we wanted to play on the lyrics 1,2,3,4. We had seen other examples and decided that it made the video different and original. It was also the easiest way to make the animation work well by relating them to the lyrics.
Paper Hearts
The heart shape is a connotation for love which we would like to be a recognisable theme throughout our video.
We used a lot of pictures so that the clip would run smoothly, and we are really pleased with the outcome. We edited the photos together to create a video clip using iMovie which worked brilliantly.
Clock
The clock has connotations of waiting for love and time passing by which are along the main themes of our video.
It was also easy to change the clock hands to be on 1,2,3,4 to fit in with the video.
We took quite a lot of pictures on a still camera, from previous experience we noted that we needed to take hundrend of photos to make the animiation look as smooth as possible.
We took a photo every 5 minutes as the large hand moved around the clock, the results hopefully being a smooth speeded up hour on the clock.
The clock hands moved too fast, although we tried to alter the duration of speed many times and it really didn’t work with the beat of the song, looking out of place and jumpy.
Due to this we ended up taking out this animation and just replacing it with screen shots of the two lyrics that we needed 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock.
Changing clothes.
The changing clothes represents the changing of her life.
Disrupting her and the feelings she would have been going through, a mixed up mind.
