Meeting with Mark on 30/09/09

Sup Bros! On the 30/09/09, we had a group meeting together with Mark for we seeked his advice on how should we get started. So basically...

Few important things that Mark wanted us to focus on first was for us to understand our project brief.. Certain key words were highlighted in the brief. They are..
1) Design & Produce (Focus)
2) Define what's Original Music
3) Define what's motion graphics (2D/3D)
__________________________________________________________

Here are the results that we research on based on the 3 question Mark asked us.
Original music -
composed by members of our own team
Definition of music video -
1) a short film or video that accompanies a complete piece of music/song.
2) It is a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings.
Motion Graphics -
1) Graphics that use video or/and animation tech to create the illusion of motion or a transforming appearance.
2) Usung both video and animation.

Mark also gave us homework. We're told to view some of MJ's music video as Mark pointed out that those videos are good. Also we have to look at other music videos to understand...
. What is happening?
. What is the story about?
. What techniques are possibly used?
. What are the software of the effects?
So basically we need to understand and know what's going on behind the scenes, before, after and during the production as well.
