Try outs - practice video of stop motion

As Jack and I have decided to add stop motion in our music promo we thought that having a 'try out' would be a good idea so we know it'll work effectively or not. We won't use this clip within our promo it will literally be for a practice run.

We had an idea of having the character singing along to the song on a bed while his clothes change (using stop motion) - as were now not using it in our video we can use this for our practice run.

As you can see from the video link, stop motion hasn't been that successful. This is because certain features in the mise-en-scene move for example, the bed covers. This is something we'd have to work on if we wanted to use stop motion in our promo as we can't have certain elements move frequently and noticeably for our target audience to notice.

Now we've created a practice trial, we are now able to see where we went wrong and can improve next time for example, we are planning of using a clock in stop motion. If we just keep this on the wall with no distractions around, stop motion should be successful as nothing is around to move out of place noticeably.
