Using Planning Documents

Storyboards:
I have used my storyboards whilst editing and filming, which has helped me to visualize my music video, therefore making it easier to edit. This is because I have the correct order to look at from the storyboards, as well as making it quicker and more efficient. I could also see what shot types I had planned to shoot, this way I knew how and where to set the filming equipment up.

Music Video Evaluation

WWW: So far I am pleased with the synchronisation of the video, I think that I have made use with the clips I currently have. I also like the guitar solo, as this looks professional and is very in time with the music and the video together. I think that my cutting is very fast, which I am happy with, aswell as cutting on beat. There are no shaky shots and the footage is well focused.

EBI: The music video can be improved with more footage to edit with, at the moment there is not a lot, however, there is enough to make a draft of the video the whole way through. Another improvement is to change the background on the performance shots, at the moment there is a blue screen, however I will change this to white or black.

Evaluation on Filming So Far

What did you film?
During my first filming session I filmed the studio shots. This consisted of mainly performance parts from my lead singer and a guitarist. Although only filming in one location I managed to take a variety of different shot types.

When did you film?
I filmed these shots during my double media lesson.

WWW?
I think that the filming went really well because I managed to get a variety of different shots, which will allow me to be more creative when editing. I also feel that the shots are in focus very well, as well as getting my framing right.

EBI?
The filming could have been better if I had used a green screen, however, I have not yet started to edit so I am unsure of whether this is a problem or not.

Did you need to reshoot anything? If you have already reshot it, what made it better than before?
This was the first filming I have done so I haven't reshot anything yet. At this point I am happy with what was filmed.

Did you stick to your storyboards?
Yes I have, so far, stuck to my storyboards.

Were you well prepared enough?
No I don't think I was prepared enough to film, however, I don't see this as a negative. I think this helped with filming, I had a rough idea what was going to happen and on the day everything went really smoothly.

What have you learned about filming from this experience?
I have learned that filming is a much longer process than what I originally thought.
