Uploading My Work

After filming had taken place I would have to put the footage onto the computer, by taking out the memory card in the camera and putting it into the computer. After this it was important to save the footage then import it onto the editing software. The editing software that I used was adobe premier CS6. The software allowed me to edit my music video together, using various different effects. After the video was complete, I exported my work then uploaded it to YouTube.

Feedback From Client

After presenting my first draft of the music video to my client I was given some feedback on production. I was told that the video needed a wider variety of shots, therefore I went and shot some more shots using different locations and costumes. This has improved my video because there is more footage making it more appealing than it was before. As well as this, I have also changed the background behind the lead singer, as this was seen as dull and boring. I have now changed this to a light purple, making this more colourful, as well as the colours used will attract my target audience. Some advantages to my first draft were that the editing was engaging throughout, also that the shots were well framed and steady.

First Draft - Music Video

This is my first draft for my music video. There are still lots of changes to make, however, the structure of the video is there. I still need to put backgrounds behind each shot, as well as do more filming. This will give me a wider variety of shots available to use in the video, therefore will make my video my exciting and eye catching. I am happy with the guitar solo, as I think the cutting is very fast and this makes the video more appealing, however, I will try to add more cutaway shots within this section of the video.

Final Music Video

This is my final music video. I have now completed 2 drafts as well as the final product. I have been given feedback on how to improve the music video, therefore making some changes during each video.

Second Draft of Music Video

I have now completed my final draft of my music video, one of the changes being made was changing the background from the green screen. I have no added some more colours to make the video look more colourful and exciting, however, improvements can be made in some of these shots as the background is a little patchy. I have also made the guitar solo shots cut faster, therefore being able to enhance the pace of the music video. This is good because the video has now got more energy to it on these particular shots. I have also incorporated some shots of the singer taking photos of herself. This is effective because it links in with the lyrics used in the song, making the music video more realistic.

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.
