Today we got into groups and re created the first minute of a music video of our choice. My group including Toby and Ben chose the song "Blurred Lines". The song has vast popularity however was very controversial. We tried to use a variety of different camera angles and movement.
From filming we did a number of good things for example including a variety of shots and angles. However I still have a lot to learn in terms of creating an excellent music video. For example in terms of filming we could have improved a lot, the basic mistake we made at the start was filming the video shot for shot, instead of this we should have gone through the whole song at the same angle, this would have made it a lot easier to edit and made it flow much better.
Another thing I would need to improve is matching the visuals with the beat of the music, most of our editing didn't match the beat of the music, in the next task I do I want to improve this by matching the cuts to the music.
Furthermore movement of the camera was another issue, some of the shots we took where we were moving the camera were not still and therefore didn't look professional, next time I will make sure the camera is steady and is in the frame and in focus. Lip syncing could also be improved, although because it was our first time we weren't the best at it.
Overall my first experience of trying to make a music video was enjoyable. Some things we did looked good however I have learnt a lot from this process. I want to improve on my editing skills in premiere pro adding effects ect and overall make my next video look more professional.
