Evaluating our Preliminary Task



Our 20 second music video was based on the song 22 by Taylor Swift.

What went well -

  1. Inter-cutting - We used inter cutting last year in our piece and we mastered it quite well, therefore when it came to analysis music videos and how much inter cutting is used to create a fast paced video we knew what we were doing. The inter cutting matches the pace of the song, and also the style of music videos that is usually produced by this artist. 
  2. Colourisation/Multi Screen - Towards the end of the video we used a multi screen in which we used the same piece of footage but colourised two of the screens and made the other two black and white. I thought this personally looked very effective and would like to use it when we make our actual music video as it isn't terribly difficult to do but does look good.
  3. Lip Sync - This was a pain to do we tried to do a song that wasn't too fast so that the lip syncing wouldn't be too difficult. But it is a task to get the footage to match the lyrics, this we did effectively in this piece but I think we will need to think carefully about what song we choose for our actual piece.

Even Better if -

  1. Disappearing - This was difficult to do effectively, but it doesn't look like a complete disaster. I think if we are to do this in our actual piece we would be able to spend more time on it to make it look a lot more professional. 
  2. Choreography - The short amount of time we had avalible to us to make this piece didnt really give us much time to plan out an idea or storyline. We effectively made the video as a Taylor Swift style video by watching the original and making it more our own. I think given more time to plan would create a better piece as well as more time to film and choreography.
  3. Instruments - The shots of the instruments werent as well done as I think they could have been. We could have used more shots and more instruments to make it more diverse. Or we could make a video without instruments at all, it depends on the idea we choose to use.
