The Death of Marilyn Monroe, A Conspiracy Theory.
https://vimeo.com/81234330
This edit is probably my favourite edit so far, Me and the Reluctant Blogger really enjoyed editing this together, we have learned so much about the conspiracy theories of Marilyn Monroe and also technical elements of audio, pace and timing.
From this edit I learned that creating a structure before hand (like a storyboard) can really help, because you feel like you have something to follow when working, also when to know what clips to put where.
Our structure started off with the life of Marilyn Monroe. So videos of her in some of her films (such as "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and "There's No Business Like Show Business"), interviews, when she was out or when she was on a film set. We then went onto her relationships and her affairs with the Kennedy brothers, which lead to her last appearance singing Happy Birthday to JFK, we then went onto her death and the conspiracy theory of what caused her death, from the research we had done and also our own opinion.
The music we had chosen for the sequence was originally was "Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend" by Marilyn Monroe, but then having a mixture of images and videos we thought it should be more upbeat, to engage the audience and to grab their attention. So we found a song which is an upbeat remix of Marilyn Monroe's - I wanna be loved by you (Dj Fashion & Andrey S.p.l.a.s.h. Remix). This song worked because it had a modern twist but represented Marilyn Monroe in the late 1950s early 60s. We also chose "Moon River" by Danny Williams which was huge hit from the 1960s for the Affair with the Kennedy brothers because we wanted something from that time and had a love theme towards it. We also went with quiet ere music when she died and intense music when we rounded up the conspiracy theory.
In certain sections of the first song we tried to match the timing of the clips with some of the music such as the lyric "boop boop be do" with Monroe lifting her hands up on the symbol clash.
