To make this video we had to plan and be organised. To ensure this we split our group into pairs and each pair had a different task to do. One of the planning tasks was to create a storyboard of shots. This required watching the original music video in great detail and noting all the different shot types. This was able to give us an idea of where we would shoot the same original shots as well as identifying all the different shot types we had to recreate. We also created a shot list, this was particularly useful when it came to shooting as we were more organised and used our time efficiently, we shot all the shots we needed outside first then all the classroom shots and edited them into chronological order after. Another one of the preparation tasks was to create a props/costumes and locations list and complete a risk assessment.
I think we could of created a better more specific props list especially when it came to costume as on the day some of our cast did not have a costume and we had to find them something suitable to borrow off someone else. This problem was due to lack of communication skills, because we were in such a big group we should have sat and discussed each of our paired task with the rest of the group before we were ready to shoot. Something that helped us when it came to shooting was appointing a director. This enabled us to film the required shots quickly and efficiently and it made sure all of our group co-cooperated with one another. This year I expect to do a significant amount of research and planning especially storyboards, moodboards and shot lists. These key tasks enable the whole process of filming to run smoothly.
During this production task I learnt how to create a video in a a larger group, this required teamwork; listening to everyone's points of view and making compromises. We learnt that 'YouTube' can be a problem sometimes as it takes a long time to buffer videos and sometimes doesn't work at all. This became an issue when we wanted to check exactly what lighting there was in the original video and it would not load. This year i'd like to develop my camera skills as in filming. I'd like to be able to produce smoother shots and more of a variety of shots in my work. I'd also like to try and further my ability to use Premier Pro using more complex editing features; effects and transitions. I'd like to be able create more complex work than last year. A problem that we found when shooting is that we ran out of time the one day, we then had to shoot some shots the next day and we rushed them. Therefore there are a few errors in the shots the lighting in the shots is too bright compared to the other shots. We should have noted this so it didn't cause a continuity problem. This is something we will have to make note of next time.
During the editing process I developed my knowledge of Adobe Premier Pro. Aafter about half an hour of familiarising myself with the programme I found it easier and faster to edit the clips. Editing generally was quick and there were no major problems . This was probably because there was no effects used just simply a mp3 file for of the song and basic cuts. The playback tool is particularly useful when editing so you can clearly see if your work has any continuity problems or if the shots demonstrating lip syncing are not in sync with the song. I also added a fade out in the music and on the shot when the sequence finished just to try and make it look more professional and believable.
