Feedback & Planning

After the rough cut deadline (23rd Oct) we get a chance to film once more, we have booked the cameras for Tuesday the 6th November. As we have been editing our music video we have noticed that we still need to film a few more scenes:

• ''you built your wall so high..." male verse
• "oooooo" line
• main chorus boy singing to girl
• "you let all the girls go.." girl verse
• "you carried on so long" girl verse

We then got feedback and noticed that there are quite a few elements that our missing in our music video in order for it to be successful. As a group we watched another Long Road media studies music video which was a different style of music yet communicated the narrative succesfully while using a wide range of angles and locations, which was what ours mainly lacked. This music video gave us inspiration and motivation to improve our current video.

In our next filming session we will film the verses I have written above but we will also take on the advise we were given. We plan to involve:

• More camera movement - tracking shots, dolly, panning shots
• Range of angles - high angles, low angles
• Interior filming (set up a space inside that is a good location for our characters to be filmed)
• Exterior filming (a wider range of locations)
• Get more energy and enthusiasm out of our male character
• More lighting techniques - out of focus, fairy lights, tea lights, filters, high angle lighting
• Put the two characters in more outfits to make the characters appear more aspirational and interesting to the viewers
