As part of our planning and practice for our real coursework, we decided to go and record some rehearsal of footage for our coursework. The idea is to get an idea of the kind of shots worked and didn't work. So we went and filmed a few clips of us going on a walk at a local church in Wymondham called the Abbey. The objective of this exercise was to practice how to get the best shots that could be used in the real coursework later on, so we are more prepared and can complete it in a smoother fashion. We also learnt a lot from it as we had some problems with the practical side. When we were filming, we brought two phones to record footage but within the first 10 minutes it died, so we learnt for our actual coursework to make sure all cameras are fully charged before we leave, as although this is simple it is something that can insure our actual filming day goes without any issues. The second phones camera smashed, so we had to record all the footage on the front camera which made getting certain shots far more difficult than it should have been; so before we go to film the final video we will check all the camera beforehand to again avoid such a simple issue. Other than that; filming went smoothly and we managed to get enough footage to make a short practice video that has a similar idea to what the final music video will look like. Overall the task was very beneficial to us as it allowed us to be better prepared for filming our final coursework and get a clearer idea of the kind of shots we would like to get and the best way into which to film them. In post production we decided that we did not have enough footage to make a music video, so we put a poem by Wilfred Owen called Anthem for the Doomed Youth over the footage. This then adds to the video as we were filming in a grave yard, so the contrast between us having fun in the footage and the serious tone of the audio makes the video have an eerie effect. The end result:
POST 6: PRACTICE TASK - KEY MUSIC VIDEOS TIMELINE This research is to discover the key turning points in music videos in the last century leading up until now. Before we started, the only inclination we had was that Michael Jackson's Thriller music video was important and was a major turning point with creating a storyline with the music video so it was interesting for all of us to see where it originally came from and who influenced the creation of music videos all of the world. Our online presentation for the Key Music Video Timeline can be found: HERE. LR
To gain feedback of my final cut I asked people to watch my video and look at my ancillary tasks and tell me what they thought was positive about it and where ,if I was to complete the task again, I could improve. I created a video : Here are also some screenshots of messages people sent me as a response as well:
If had a gun - A2 media studies music video (A Grade): Creativity I feel this particular student made music video is very creative in the way they have used many different camera shots and angles. for example they have used an ordinary wide shot but rewinded making it look like a times lapse. moreover, they have also used close up, pan shot, wide shot, and extreme close up. setting/location The setting of the music video seems to start in a town or a city (possibly a quite part of the town/city as we are only exposed to a busy road with not a lot of buildings or shops). however, this then changes about 37 seconds in when we see an extreme close up of a pair of shoes on sand which we assume to be a beach. Then, the location changes again about a minute and half in to the music video when we see the character in a cemetery. then for the rest of the music video we are also exposed to a car park and another street within a city or a town. cos...
