Evaluation:
From the start I think that our group worked really well
together as, we got everything done quickly and to a good standard. For example
it only took us one lesson to plan out what we had to do in each shot, how long
it was for, and the costume for the whole re-make. The plan that we made was
really helpful because, we got each shot that we had to do, and by the side we
showed where it would take place, costume, which is in the shot and how long
for. This meant that we could be very prepared for when it actually came down
to filming and we had to get everything sorted. However if we had to re-due
this again I would like the planning to be even more specific, so we would have
the action of what we were doing in there, because from using the plan when we
were filming it was hard to see what action what we were doing, as we had to
keep watching the video over and over again to see what the dance move was or
what was she doing.
The filming of the video went quite well I think because, we
got all the shots that we needed to do in a good timely manner. It was easy to
find the right location, because our school has a link where we could work and
be away from the lessons so that we didn’t disturb anyone. We all knew what we
had to bring in for costume, so we all brought in the right outfit that we had
to wear for the first day of shooting, but as it went on we didn’t always wear
the same close as it was hard to keep wearing them. So if we had to do it again
I would like everyone to have the same outfit throughout as it would make the
video look more professional and more like the actual video. Another hard part
for filming was doing the same action as they did in the video, all the people
that were in the video aren’t dancers (which shows a lot) which means that we
had to take what they were doing and make it very basic so that we could do it,
but it took us a lot of takes before we actually got it right. So if we had to
do it again then I would of liked to of known the dance before we started
filming so them we could go straight into it without trying to figure out what
was next. The main thing that slowed us down was setting up, because we had to
get changed, then set up the camera which took a while, which stopped us filming
for the whole hour. This means that I would have liked then to of got to lesson
early so that we could set up earlier, so then we would have had most of the
hour to film and get most of it done. Everyone got involved with the filming
and taking part because, everyone in the group was in some shot, making the
video better as it wasn’t just one person all the time.
The editing of the footage was quite frustrating because, it
was really hard to get the lip syncing in time with the music, and trying to
get the dance moves in time was really hard as well. Again we all took part in
the editing as well, which meant that we all had some say in how we wanted it
to look.
From this task it has showed me how much planning that I am
going to have to do for my music video to make sure that I can make it look
like the genre where it belongs. Also when filming my video the lip syncing has
to be really in time when we are filming so then it can be easily linked up
when editing it. The editing has showed me how quick the shots have to be, or
otherwise the audience will get bored. However it has got me really excited to
start planning and preparing for my video that we will be creating.
