Final video feedback

We watched everyone's music videos in our class and commented on each individually. The feedback we got for our music video includes:

Camerawork -> The close up shots (especially the picture frame shot) were different and looked good. Our shots were distinct and different.

Editing -> The white screening we used for some of James's singing was good but not perfect quality as it looked slightly jagged. The ending was liked. The editing really makes the audience concentrate on the lyrics of the song as it relates well to them. It was kept simple when he was singing and frantic on the stage with lots going on which was a good contrast.

Mise en Scene -> The props were very good. The video was really different. The characters wearing black was liked due to again keeping everything simple. It was not boring. Some said it didnt make sense??

Final stage

During our final last hours of our editing for our music video we decided to drastically change the lip syncing scenes. The colours and lighting where out and because we had to zoom in a lot the quality had lowered. To combat all this we made the selected footage black and white, inhanced the lighting and moved position of james to add variety but also to get rid of the cupboard which was in a few of the shots.
The black and white give the footage a strong feel of it being a different place and different time.It also makes the colourful scenes stand out stronger.

Final Week

It is the final week of our time allocated to making our music video for the song 'harms way' by the 'waco brothers'.
We are to schedule with where we wanted to be and are confident that we will complete our project by the deadline of friday.

Extra filming

I did some more filming with James on Friday 24th October, college was not open due to a teacher training day but we were able to use the media studio to do the filming in. Got some more footage of James lip syncing in front of a white background. Got a locker in the background in some shots but hopefully that wont effect the video too much. James was a lot better with the words this time through, but we got about 6 different individual lots of footage so we have a variety to choose from for our video.
