Stop motion animation
When we first began to put ideas together for our music video at the start of term we knew we wanted to feature some kind of animation, the animation being a concept aspect of the video. Our soundtrack having the theme of money we thought about doing some kind of animation with money.
In yestadays media lesson we used to the monopoly money to spell out the title of the song, 'money grabber'. Having thought of using monopoly to do so in an previous idea brainstorming lesson. We placed one note at a time to for the lettters of the words, we spelt one letter out at a time, then moved it to start the next letter, creating a stop motion affects. We left 2seconds between each movement, when sped up we think this will look very affective. This is a picture of all the letters laid out to see how effective it would look. Having took this picture Andy said that the money looked like it had eyes on it, we thought this was interesting and could manipulate this idea to converse the idea of materialism etc. We first considered using monopoly - money for a number of reasons, firstly it is an iconic British cultural signifier, futhermore it ties in with the songs theme of money, materialsim, ownsership. Also having looked at other ska videos most of them seemed to have a fun, comic, not-too-serious tone/ element to them, so by using monopoly money it could be considered mocking, make fun of, cosumerism etc.

..."converse the idea of materialism"....you need to revise this. Do you mean communicate an ironic take on materialism. Good detail Lizzie, well done.
