Withing my next lesson we looked at exsisiting student work,that had been created for the same course previously.Every video we looked at was examples of what NOT to do.This allowe me to see the difficulty that is invloved and what to stay away from when i create my own music video.It allowed em to notice and be aware of things that dont get good marks just by anlysing previous work.
The first student music video i looked at was graded by the exam bored a Grade E.
The first thing i noticed which was bad in this video was how bad the camera was used.All the footage was un steady and wobbly making the footage look really bad an unprofessional.The majority of the shots were very dark,making the peformers barely visible in quite a few of the shots.Another really bad thing was that the video had to relation to the song.The song was quite a heavy metal loud song and the corrosponding video did not follow this genre at all.Making it really hard to understanf the narrative at all.It also looked asi the video was aimlessly put together,by this i mean itlooked asif the student had no intrest in creating something good.It lacked all planning possible and looked like a very last minute thing.Every shot was very basic,and was edited together really bad.
I could see how this only just received an E grade,because so many thing were noticebaly bad aout it.It highlighted to me that everything im going to do should not resemble this.
The next student video i looked at was also a Grade D but low in marks.
This video seemed noticeably slighty better but was done poorly.They decided to use a green screen for a majority of their shots which really didnt work well.the backgrounds they edited in was really bad quality,are were taken outsie the college.This means they could of just filmed olutside the college which wouldve of allowd it to e better quality.All the performances was poor.They all looked forced and lacked emotion.
The last student video i watched was a high Grade D.
This final video was noticeably better than the last 2,yet still quite basic.When i watched this video i undersstood where it was going but unfortunatley it didnt turn out as well as it could.The main ba dareas was that the costume didnt fir the genre,so the use of mise-en-scene didnt compliment the4re music.Which made it quit ehard to understand,and very un realistic.The elnght of the shots was also an issue,some lasting up to 10 seconds with nothing changing which became very boring to watch as the video progresssed.They had over edited as well,as in they thought by adding special effects it would gainthem extra marks,but instead it ooked very clumsy and didnt work well.Althugh this video did have a narrative it wasnt show well.But overall i thlough this video had a bit more direction than the last to,but still could of been extremely better.
