PRODUCTION: Projector inspiration

From the moment we chose our song, Poppy had insisted that we use a few projection shots in our video like the professional artist below. This was because she had been inspired by a few music videos such as Imogen Heap's music video, Lifeline, which shows the artist have images projected onto her. This would allow us to create effects not otherwise possible unless we had professional special effects software. The effect looks unique and are incomparable to other types of effects.

We all agreed as a group that doing this is something different and unique to our music video. Below is an picture of Poppy with an image projected onto her face mimicking the above professional artist. I feel the effect in the image below is great especially as the projected image is on Poppy's face only and not on the background (just like in Imogen Heap's video).


Poppy with glowing moving lines floating across her head. I feel its a great effect. 
Anything can be shown and projected onto the artist. Imogen Heap is doing just that.

Here, we took our own initiative to scribble random lines across Poppy's face to yet again mimic Imogen Heap's music video, Lifeline. Instead of projecting a video, I came up with the idea to go on Paint then create and project our own images on to the artist so we have control of what is being shown. This was a decision the group took liking to, and so therefore created our own style of projecting images.

Here is the video which had inspired us to implement this idea into our own music video:
