Task 4 - Evaluation

To start of with our group had a few hiccups as members of the group had other obligations to forfill which meant some parts couldn't always be completed straight away without them being there which gave us a few set backs. Fortunatley for our group we did manage to find enough time to meet and film ect which was a big positive. Our video had been completed to the best of our ability with the skills we posses at this current stage however in the future our skills will get better and this will give us a much more professionally made video as well as this we will have much more time too and this will really help. The hardest part was certainly the editing and lip sycning as we had to make each clip in time with the song we had chosen. For our next video however though this will drastically improve due to much more dedication, time and effort. Overall being invovled in this preliminary task it has heavily helped me gain the insight needed to produce a really good final piece music video as I now know what is needed e.g. In time lip syncing, good editing skills and really good reliable team too.

Task 4 - Editing

Editing appeared to be the most difficult task of all as it was hard and time consuming. Not only this but it was difficult getting all of our lip syncing shots to be in line with the soundtrack and original video. I believe that some shots were definatly out of sync but however I now know that this is something I need to drastically improve on for when I film my proper video. Most of editing was done by members of the group however I did participate as much as possible due to having other obligations to fill despite this the video did still go down quite well with different edit styles in such as quick cuts and slow motion. From this task I feel as if I have learned a lot about the editing software and how to produce the best work via this software. I am glad to have done this task as it will greatly help me with my very own music video project.

Task 4 - Filming

Initially the filming was difficult as it had been a long time since we had used any camera's or camera equipment. So from the start we had to get to grips using it all over again, but after a short period of time this was easy. During filming we had to do several takes of the similar scences because in some of them there was too much laughing as at times lip syncing appeared to be an awkward task. Despite this we grinded onwards and productively to collaborate together as a fuctioning group. This then proved to be a successful combination. This particular task has helped me gain key insight into how to film and what makes for a better video with different types of camera shots and different camera techniques like panning. Overall as a group we managed time well the most difficult part was lyncing as it was bvital we were on time. I believe we managed this.

Task 4 - Finished Preliminary Video

Task 4 - Preliminary Task

For this particular task we were given a choice of different music videos to recreate and analyse, so me and my group of Harriet Richardson; Mia Griffin and Isabella Gregson chose to do Jessie J's Who's laughing now. This practise will greatly help me when I need to go and create my very own music video.
