EVALUATION
For my 'frame-by-frame' remake practical, me and Billy replicate the music video for the song 'Don't Go' by Wretch 32 and Josh Kumra. This was the first time we had to copy someone else's video to identify the way music videos are produced. Having only 2 hours to film, we could only remake about a minute of the music video and we thought the most effective part of the music video is the first verse, leading into the hook of the song.
What have you learnt about music video production from completing this task?
I have learnt, from this task, that music video construction is not as easy as it seems. You are given a fixed amount of time to do as many shots as you possibly can to edit your piece. What I found hard the most was the matching up of the visuals and the song lyrics. I had to place each clip next to the lyric of which it matches, so it looks like we're singing the song etc.
I also found out that the more locations used, the better. If you're just standing in the room, lip-syncing the whole song, it would be very boring.
Overall, I found the task very enjoyable, even though these difficulties got in my way.
How will this affect the planning of your own work?
Considering we only had 2 hours to film the music video, we only had to lip-sync in one location and we only did it once, allowing time to film other shots. For my big piece, I would need to allow time to plan where I will lip-sync and where I will perform (my music video will be performance based).
We had limited time to decide on what the costume will look like and where we would film our shots. We would only have one choice:
This place:
For my big piece, I will use locations in both inside and outside of college (the majority of the task, outside of college). This way, as well as the other features, will form together to make my next piece a bigger, more effective piece, so my peers and other audience would find the constructive piece 'outstanding'.
