Our Group Prelim Song

This lesson we sat down as a group with the task of choosing the music video we were going to try and recreate. We looked at many options before finally settling on 'Where are you now' by Justin Bieber. I had personally never seen the video before and was not particularly familiar with the song, however, upon watching it I thought it would be the perfect choice for our group. Preferably, the video is going to be in production on our creative arts evening in school to allow us to have some interactivity with the visitors by getting them to participate in the video. This is where our idea of doing 'Titanium' fell short as we couldn't film that in one evening in school. Therefore, 'Where are you now' is the best choice of song for our project.


The song has two different sections - the part where the singer actually lip syncs the words (which can easily be filmed against a green screen) and the part with the illustrations.




This is where the interactivity comes in. Our idea is that, on creative arts evening, people will come and draw pictures on print outs of each individual frame in certain sections of the song. We will then scan them in and put them together to create the look of drawings on the video. We are going to need hundreds of pictures so we will definitely need to draw some of these ourselves as well as having people from creative arts evening taking part. We also thought that we're going to need chalk pens which will draw clearly and vividly on any background to make sure the illustrations are effective.


As there are so many frames to be illustrated we don't think we will be able to complete the whole song, however, we are going to try to recreate as much as we can.

The parts where there is paint moving up and covering him can be added in After Effects in the editing process.


We will also be able to set up a camera on creative arts evening to make a time lapse of everyone drawing the pictures fro the video, just like in the original.



Overall I think this is a really good choice of video to recreate which is exciting and ambitious whilst still remaining achievable. It also enables to be creative and try something we wouldn't normally get to do in production as well as interacting with students who will draw the pictures. I am really looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
