When asked to do some creative tasks, to spark our creativity. My group and I decided to take a camera and go and film some footage in college that could later help us shape and plan our music video. We didn't really know what to do, which is why i influenced my group to just go with it and that we will come up with something.
We already had a vague idea of idea for the music video and we had the song choice, so we being dancers we thought we could try putting together a dance routine scene and a narrative, similar to exisiting music videos. My other group members go to the same dance school so have exisiting routines they do regularly so they peformed one of their routines so we didn't have to waste class time by choreographing a new one. I then filmed my two group members performing this sequence. I filmed it twice so i had a variety of shots when editing. This was a rough excercise so the shots aren't pefect but you get the general idea and feel we want for our actual music video.
For the narrative side of the video we improvised while filming, something we thought would be creative and show spontaneous thinking. My group member amy filmed and shouted stage directions at us, which is how we came up with the idea of drunken walking and throwing up, which also relates and amplifies the narrative idea behind our chosen. However the song used on this preview is the song that the dance routine was choreographed, we didn't want to attempt to create a rough version of our actual music video, instead it was just an excercise to see what creative things we could come up with in about 45 minutes in one room.
After we filmed the footage we attempted to edit it over the course of two days, however on the second day we found an error and I had to scrap what we had and restart the editing process. This was a reminder of the problems we might face while filming our actual music video and helped us realise we must be prepared for any errors and time loss that might occur.
This was just a rough task so the editing is not perfect, however i tried to create a typical music video set up by switching from the dance scene to the narrative and back, i tried to create some basic match on action and synethesia effects. I also attempted to create a climax towards the end of the video by fast paced editing. Finally i wanted to attmept to create a star persona, Holly being the star (the short blonde haired girl in the video) . So when filming i wanted mostly close up's of her and in the editing process gave ehr the most screen time.
