Due to the amount of time I had, I did not have time to find actors and a location and therefore The Devil and Death were filmed by myself in my home and starring me. Whilst Justice was filmed in university with class mates, the only film I was able to get a location and actress for was The Empress in which my friend said she could help me out. Whilst it was a shame I couldn't find better locations and use actors I still think it came across rather well.
When filming Death, I wanted to show an ending whilst not showing an actual death and being very literal, I liked the idea of one door closing and another opening but as this was the Death card I still wanted it to have a creepy feel and so I decided to have death knock on the door, I wanted it look symbolic of death and I think that worked quiet well, dressed like a black widow with a black rose.
For the Devil I was focusing on materialism and I thought a good way to represent this would be to show a very self absorbed person, in today's world I felt a good way to represent this would be through a girl getting ready in a mirror, pouting and basically loving how she looks. Therefore focusing on how she looks and not who she is, I brought this up to date by taking a 'selfie' to upload to Instragram.
With Justice, I wanted to show two people arguing over something and someone else stepping in, showing them that they didn't need to fight and could settle their differences. It was all about doing what is right and seeing both sides but insisting on fairness.
The Empress was all about nature and so I had someone looking 'at one with nature' picking up a flower and connecting with a tree, again this was a very symbolic video and it's the video I like the most.
For The Lovers I decided to find a picture (as I didn't have one I could use) and have it move across the screen with music to give a basic idea of the theme and what could be done. This is a very simple prototype for what could be created.
For The star, I found a GIF of a shooting star and added on text through After Effects to again show the kind of thing that could be done.
Those are the ideas for the videos, with the other QR codes they were a simple case of creating a text or speaking QR Code.
Once I had created everything I choose to edit mainly in Adobe Premier Pro as I feel confindent using this software but I also needed to use After Effects when it came to creating The Star and finally Photoshop for the actual Tarot Cards.
