Music Video Evaluation

We had multiple issues with the equipment. For example we booked a camera for the weekend, we signed it out on the Friday and needed it for that afternoon. When we went home the battery was all dead and the spare one was also low battery. Which means we were not able to film much that night. The another time over the weekend we were using the SD Card and it started stating how it was full even though it was all empty and we had taken 2 picture. Luckily Ali’s Mum had a spare SD card. The day our assignments were due, we exported them like Mr Andrews showed us. But when we opened the quick view the music was all not clear. We tried and spent several minutes wasting trying to fix it after school but couldn’t fid a way. I also got told off by my mum as I was late to the pick up area. When we were deciding which song to do we could not decide which one because all three of us have different taste in music. We settled with Audio as we pulled it out of the hat. We all knew we were going to do it based in the lyrics and everything will be in matching order with the lyrics. We had made sure we had used every source available on blackboard to produce the best music video to our ability. It  helped us shape our timing and how and which order we wanted the scenes. We all made productive time usage in class as we all had something to do. One lesson we filmed in the music rooms. The other lessons we downloaded which ever videos we needed for our music video and asked permission on youtube to use the videos. And Ali usually was planning the weekend ahead and which shots we needed to make sure we didn’t mess around in the productive weekends. Jun was editing each lesson or drafting. We could have filmed more effectively if we had not bought the cheap bath bombs from Kmart which said they were fizzy bath bombs but did not work, meaning we should have researched more before spending money. We always had members present in all our shootings, but we did find that group members who had the camera and school laptop did not come to the designated place on time. Some team members were insufficient with their time management. Ali’s absence during all Thursdays did impact as we could have used that time to decide and plan ahead, otherwise there were confusions. We managed by communicating through snapchat and emails for choreography. Our group sticked to the planning and shot list we made sure we had every scene but the ones that did not work with timing we had to take or add extra shots. We made sure it was detailed enough to tell us where we were doing it and when and what. I am satisfied with my one minute editing and Jun and Ali’s as well they did great editing I especially loved Juns reverse in the bath bombs. I would probably change the mouth part where Ali is as it is too long and is not as appealing as we thought it could be, it didn’t stick around to the message. If I was to do this again I would make sure there is more time for editing. Our work represents the whole 6 weeks put in as it has so many shots that we had to change redo and we have evidence to back that up. We have more than 500 video clips for a three minute music video. This shows that we used our time productively and made sure we had back up shots incase we didn’t like the shots which made the project go a little longer than expected.
