During this small transition project we had to re create a music video of an original song.Me and my group chose Adele someone like you.We chose this because we all liked the song,and thought it was practial and realistic enough to be able to re create.Over the next week we worked out what props/location/cast/filing/editing elements we need/needed to use.We did various research into making sure we had everything we needed in order ot re create a successful music video.
The initial research i found fairly interesting and simple,it was exciting making the preparations as i felt alot more organised before shooting the actual fim.As i had been researching all the areas that were needed to be covered.When it came to the actual filming i really enjoyed it,at first it proved difficult walking and moving the camera along with the model however after only a few tries i got the hang of it straight away/the green screen proved really handy for our fade shots,it allowed to film with a still background so when we came to edit it it was alot easier.
Filming on marina was also alot of fun to. Because i had never filmed properly outside in a location away form college before we had to make few adjustments,like when walking with the camera because we was walking backwards we had to have someone else in the group behind us,guiding us so we didnt fall over-but this didn't pose as a problem.Because of the natural wind also,it allowed us to easily create the blowing hair which was really helpful.Before going to this location we assembled a risk assesment which features earlier in the blog,which made us aware of any possible accidents that could occur.And this proved very helpful for us when we got there.
The most challenging part of this transition project was the actual filimg.Everything else i found fairly straight forward and easy,the filming wasn't very difficult but making usre it was fit for purpose and looked how we wanted it to,took a few tries.The difficult part was also keeping the lyrics in time,as we knew if we didnt,we we edited the film and sound together it wouldn't look good at all.But i felt our outcome worked just how we wanted it to,the lyrics were in time and i all turned out how we wanted it to when it came to editing.
When i start my A2 project next year i will do a few things differently.I will research alot more into exssiting music videos in order to get inspirations from all different aspects of a music video.I will also film for longer.By this i mean tuning the camera on for around 5 seconds longer than you normally would so we've got extra footage to work with,by doing this it will mean ill have more footage to edit rather than hardly any.Luckily we filmed enough to make our video successful but if we were a few seconds shorter it could've proved a problem.So when i start my A2 work,ill be more aware of this.
This task ahs helped me realise what the A2 is sort of like,it was like a little taster of what is to come.Its helped me as i feel its prepared me for whats to come,and has allowed me to get to grips of what next years course entails in a much condendesed way.It also allowed me to get sue to the editing suite and how the cmaera works,so when it comes to actually creating a video for my A level,i wont be held back and i will be able to get on straight away.Ive taken away knowledge from this experience.Its helped me build on what i already know and apply it to a task.Im really glad we did this transition task,i felel it was helpful in every way and not only was it fun,it allowed us to prepare and practice for the upcoming year.
