The Conspiracy Theory - Part 2

-
After deciding that Arvil Lavigne was going to our topic for the conspiracy videos, it was time to do more indepth reaserch. We looked at multiple fan blogs, youtube videos and even new report that were made on the subject, and complied it into a doctument title how and why is it a conspiracy theory.
Here is what I found:

Evidance in her songs- Evidence to her being replaced: 

Song: My happy ending – suggests suicide – clone singing 
Let's talk this over 
It's not like we're dead 
Was it something I did? 
Was it something you said? 
Don't leave me hanging 
In a city so dead 
Held up so high 
On such a breakable thread 

We are also going to include side by side comparasion of the "old" and "new" Aril singing.
Eventually we came upp with a narrative structure for the video.
START  
Start with audio from 0.09 – from this source:  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwAdiPdpiYo 
Meanwhile show clips from signings/ concerts etc which show her fame and give context to her fame.  
Some clips we could use here: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIZTnOboPDU  - Avril signing autographs at JUNO awards 2003, just before she died. Looks miserable. Someone holding sign saying ‘GO AVRIL’ interviewer: ‘they love you they love you’  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qBLH8Pli8E - 9.43 - Fan saying ‘Hi Avril, you rock, thanks for coming to Australia’.  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROJo_dXPmuI - Sk8er Boi live performance  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAJwuffbGIc&t=119s - Very start of clip showing the album cover, which bought her fame  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwAdiPdpiYo - 2:15 – 2:36  
‘After this, everything is going to be different for you, you are going to lose your anonymity’ (Avril questions what this means) ‘You are not going to be able to walk down the street, you’re a celebrity now’. (Avril completely loses attention and looks at something outside).  
Introducing the fact that Melissa has replaced her: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2axL4T3R2ak - crying about grandfather hints at depression.  

TURNING POINT – intro to conspiracy  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAKrBCFYTh0 - ET Canada is speaking about the conspiracy in this video, mentions Melissa Vandella  

EVIDENCE  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBk-8hl_FSE - Complicated 2002 vs. 2007  
Compare to eachother:  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1NvNE55NBA - Melissa, sounds completely different 2:40-2:45 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjk2TGjXjeM - “I’m a rock chick I like to rock out”
Avril not wanting to sell sex- then a cut to a video of her doing that- eg what the hell music video and other promotional videos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfoMh2cuIYA "im not aout to sell sex" 2:20-2:32
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtRD5Zr17rA topless photoshoot 0:37-0:48
Show differences in her music style, then vs now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eJDRjXWfX8 0:18-0:26  "Went back home again, This sucks gotta pack up and leave again, Say goodbye to all my friends, Can't say when I'll be there again"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiaYDPRedWQ 0:38-0:42 "Come come Kitty Kitty, You're so silly silly, Don't go Kitty Kitty, Play with me, Kawaii"

Panic! At The Disco: The Devils Key Trilogy

-
Image
The devils key trilorgy is a set of 3 music videos depicting how a former evil genius/physcopath, goes from robbing the devils key to becoming the devil himself. It is said that the idea has been planned since Too Wierd to Live, Too Rare to Die. If that is the case then this story has been in the works since 2013. The story consits of 3 videos all from varinging years. The first and second song are linked via the beging beats of This is Gospel overlapping into the end of Saturday Night. There is also similarities in costume. The connection between 2 and 3 is a bit more obvious, as the edn of This is Gospel   has main singer Brendon Urie running against the rope restraints and then hes drop into a mystious place. In  Emperors New Clothes we see this take place again as well as hearing an overlap of the previous song. The drop he faces was his drop to hell, where he turns into a devil. The first song is Say Amen (Saturday Night) - (21st March 2018)   The second in the queue is This

The Conspiracy Theory - Part 3

-
Before we even came to edit the film, the group and I knew that we wanted to use as little title cards as possible because we knew that with the foootage we had collated would drive the narrative on its own. We would onlu use them to introduce certain sections of the film, such as "and then things got complicated" to highlight that this is where the conspiracy element is injected. They are also used when doing comparasions between the "old" and "new" Avril. This is because w e knew and wanted the story to speak for itself and for the audience to become fully invested in the film and not the text on the screen.  The feedback we had gotten of other students was positive and they felt like the film had a clear and understanderble narrative. Our only issue was balancing some of the audio and making it fade in and out smoothly. This was all done with key framing in Premire Pro. I felt like I did a good job within this project as I gathered a fair amount of the

Recreation: Conclusion

-
The recreation seen went well. We had many difficulties with choosing an appropriate scene amd then pulling it off with in a student house. With set design there are some shots that have either a fire alarm or a misplaced window. This couldnt be helped because we couldn't remove these features from the wall. We ended up having 3 days of filming because the scenes with Mark and Elena had timing issues and the lights were in shots. This was sorted with a third shoot day. Overall I thought the project was fun, but my opinion on recreating other peoples work still stands. I feel like it lacks creativity and can become dull and more time consuming than creating your own original work. With creating original work, you are much more likely to be passionate about it and dedicate more time to it.
