Assorted transitional video element ideas

1. Assorted Transitional
Video Element Ideas
By Alex and Eddie

2. What is Transitional Video
Elements?
• We have decided to have two main
aspects to our Music video. The
first is the performance of the band
playing on stage. The second
element is of random objects, old
and new that will work as short few
second clips that flash up when
transitioning between the shots of
the band performing on stage.
Thus the name we have given to
them ‘Transitional Video Elements’
• We have many different ideas for
these transitional video elements
that we will cover in this
presentation.

3. Idea One: AM Stencil
• The first idea we have had is
to make a stencil of the AM
branding (either the
wavelength or the bands
actual logo) and spray it onto
abandoned buildings and
objects of like like.
• We would use removable
spray paint to ensure we are
not vandalising and would
clean it off immediately.

4. Idea Two: Smash CRT Monitor
• The second Idea we have had
is to smash a CRT monitor and
record it in slow motion to
create an interesting transition
clip.
• We would ensure that the
monitor was cleared up
afterwards and that it had
been electrically discharged
as CRT monitors store a high
Voltage.

5. Idea Three: Manual Focus Shifting
Lights
• The third idea we have had is
to film with our DSLR’s at night
in manual so we can shift
focus. This will create a bokeh
effect where the lights will
appear spread out. This would
be very effective if also used
in black and white like the rest
of our footage. A good place
to film this would be on top of
the multi-storey car park in
Bury St Edmunds.

6. Idea Four: Hyperlapse
• The fourth idea we have is to
film a hyperlapse in the front
of someones car during a
journey. It would create fast
flowing footage that would
work great as transition
footage when in black and
white to match the rest of the
theme to the music video.

7. Idea five: Smoke and Lighting
• The fifth Idea we have is to
use a combination of the
smoke machine we have
purchased and flood lighting/
film lighting to film in near
darkness to create footage
that shows of specific objects
such as the Retro Microphone
we have purchased.

8. Idea Six: Fire and Burning
• The sixth idea we have is
burning things such as
matches, steel wool, sparklers
etc anything that is easy to
burn and creates an
interesting effect. Then filming
it in 240FPS slow motion to
create a great looking
transition clip when in black
and white.
