- 3. RESEARCH Strengths My strengths while researching was that I found it really easy to understand different types of camera angles this helped my when I was filming to understand what shots might work and what shots wont. For examples a shot moving backwards can be hard to do as the camera might shake a lot this saved me time when it came to filming as I already knew what shots I should try and some I shouldn’t. This meant I could spend more time editing then filming as I already knew the type of shots and angles I wanted. Weaknesses My weaknesses while researching was that I didn’t go more in depths on what works in a music video and what doesn’t I think I should of looked at some music videos that didn’t go so well and some that did and compare to see for myself what would work for me and what wouldn’t. A result of this was that when It came to putting my clips together I quickly realised that have more shots of different backgrounds really does give the video a dynamic feel to it and makes the video more entertaining to watch.
- 4. PLANNING Strengths My strengths while planning was the fact that I had to quickly improvise as my original song did not turn out the way I wanted. I had to changed my song which meant I had to changed my planning to fit the new song I had picked. However my original planning already had some aspects that could work in my new song the only thing that was drastically different was the location. As I didn’t just research on that type of music I already had I idea of what could work to a medium pace beat. In my planning I made a mind map of all the different features I had learn which helped me get some ideas to start to make a plan in my head of how I wanted to music video to look. Weaknesses Some of my weaknesses was that I could of gone into more detail however I picked a song that I didn’t not like which meant it was hard to think of ideas for it however it made it easier when it came to editing as I didn’t already have a opinion on the song and how the music video should look. A way I could of improved the planning is I could of tried to get more of a solid structural plan then a visual one. This was hard to do as I already had a plan for another song that I tried to film a music video for but the song was to hard to film so I had to changed the song and my planning that was different to what I had originally planned. This had a effect on my product as somethings I had planned I now had to change as I changed the song and the location entirely. This meant that I had to quickly think about what would work and how to film it.
- 5. TIME MANAGEMENT A way a manged my time well was that I filmed my first music video at the start of the half term so I can see if I needed to go film additional footage for when I start to edit. However I realised that the song I picked was not going to work with the footage I had as the beat didn’t really match up and the shots were hard to shoot so I decided to change to a different song that was set in a wooded type environment. I think if I could of done some more planning with this new song I could of got more clips which would of made the video turn out more entertaining to watch. If I had more time to film I think I would of tried to get some different types of locations and I would of also got more footage as then I can try different types of shots for the same verse. This would also give me more time to edit so I could see what type of transitions work well with the song and what different colours would work in each shot.
- 6. TECHNICAL QUALITIES - CAMERA A difference between these to videos is that the first image has the camera lower to the ground while the second image has there camera higher up to get the just the trees in the shot. A reason they might of done this depends on the rest of there clips in there video if they are quite high up it keeps the same theme all the way through the song. A similarity between these to videos Is that they are both a long shot of a wooded type environment.
- 7. TECHNICAL QUALITIES – EDITING/POST A similarity between these to videos is there both running though a woods to the beat of the song. A difference between these videos is one is brighter and has increased saturation and the second one is quite dark and left there colours more natural to what the camera actually shot. Another difference is that the first video is a medium going into a long then cutting back into a medium the second video is just a medium shot then switches to another person running though some wooded type environment.
- 8. AESTHETIC QUALITIES Some aspects that I like the look of is the colour grading I think it really brings out the colours in the video as if I left the colours alone It would have been really dark and not really nice to watch. Would I could of done to improve the colours even more is to go and see if the video would have looked better in a darker style or if it looked better in a more lighter colour. Something less successful was at the start it does really look like a good music video to me I think if I had some more footage I could of made that better. Some of the B roll was well colour corrected you can clearly see how throughout the music video it slowly started to get darker and darker until the sunset.
- 9. AUDIENCE APPEAL My music video appeals to teenagers and people that love nature The actor wore simple clothing this appeals to teenagers as this is the kind of clothing that they would wear The video matches the song this makes it more appealing to people that enjoy listening to pop music
- 10. PEER FEEDBACK
- 11. FEEDBACK 1 What did you like about the product? The colour correct made the focus of the music video on the actor and the woods around them. What improvements could have been made to the product? Got more shots to keep it more engaging and use a faster pace editing to improve the flow and continuity of the video.
- 12. FEEDBACK 2 What did you like about the product? The opening shot of the music video was very good it drew me in and engaged me. The beginning transitions make the video more entertaining What improvements could have been made to the product? Add some more shots and effects into the music video some of the clips you used were too lengthy and boring.
- 13. FEEDBACK 3 What did you like about the product? The transitions that you used matched the beat of the song and enhanced it this lead to me being more drawn In. What improvements could have been made to the product? Add some effects to the longer clips to break up the continuity.
- 14. PEER FEEDBACK SUMMARY What do you agree with from your peer feedback? I agree that I should of got more shots and have different angles to keep the songs flow more fast pace and less boring. What do you disagree with from your peer feedback? I think I did all the effects it needed as I wanted to make the music video simple and not over edit it.
