Evaluation Prep

Once our video is finished we as a group have to evaluate every area of the video and discuss the pros and cons of it. There are many ways of doing this but we as a group believe by making a powerpoint presentation with print screens of our work will give us a good building block to talk about our video.

We will record the presentation and afterwards we will answer pre set questions about our video. Within this discussion we will answer questions on all areas of our video.

Before recording our evaluation we will rehearse our lines so the delivery is correct and everything goes smoothly.

The evaluation side of the coursework allows us to show the audience how we feel the video went and give them more of an insight into the videos background.

Final Filming

For our Music Video to be complete we had to film for one last time to gather shots needed to fill in every missing spaces. We only needed a small amount of shots and went to my house to film the sequences needed. We tried to use a variety of different camera angles and camera movements in our shoot to give the video the professional edge we fill we have already.

As a group we believe filming went smoothly and there was no hiccups, we gathered all the shots needed and the shot we got were of a high quality. These shots will help us finished our Music Video

The Showcase

Within our class we came together and put a showcase together, with fellow students and teacher to watch our music video before they were fully completed. We believed this would help us with the final stages of creating the video as we can see what is going well and what needs to be changed. The showcase would allow peers and teachers to give us feedback on how our video is looking and any comments they had on it. We hoped to gather feedback in a variety different areas, for example editing and lighting etc.

Our teacher gave us each individual student a sheet to fill out with question about our videos. The questions consisted of, what was especially good about the music video. Would you watch it again? If yes why? If no, why not? And did you notice any errors within the video?, the sheet also asked the class to rate certain areas of our video out of 10 , were ten is the highest.
The class were asked to rate the, editing, sound, camerawork and the synchronising of sound.

Once our video was shown to the class we then discussed the pros and cons of it.
The class believed that a positive aspect of our video was indeed the editing , the edits were in time with the beat and there was a variety of different edits to keep the video interesting. Most people rated our editing with a 9 out of ten score, however our we did gather a piece of feedback that the editing was out off sync at one point so we will have to change that.

However a negative side of our video was the narrative and shot repetition, peers told us that they did not understand completely the narrative and also that there was too many off the same shot within the video. This gives us as a group something to discuss and hopefully change in the near future.

Filming Part 4

As you can see from the previous post, we are currently not finished our video, so we once again come together as a group and begin filming more shots for the video.
Before going out filming as a group we discussed the shots that we needed and to help us towards a high quality video. we not only disscussed the shots but also the lighting of the shots and the camera postions. We done this so that when filming all goes smoothly and there are no confusions.
Within this part of filming we gather a range of shots that we believe will have given us a great chance of produced a quality video.
We used a variety of places to film for the video to give the video a range of settings.

Filming part 3

We have now edited the opening sequence to our video and are very happy with the results, the video so far is at the standard we hope to achieve.

As a group we went out to film the first verse for our video, this is a big chunk of the video so will take time. We had a few different locations for this part of filming so the video was not just a one setting piece. Filming went to plan and all the shots needed we got to a high quailty. Within our video so far there have been a variety of different shots and views and within the littke bit of editing we have done a vast amount of cuts have been used.

The video so far is looking good and hopefully this will carry on throughout.

Filming part 2

The first stages of filming did not go to plan so we went out and filmed again , for this particular shots we went to another member of the groups house to allow for the shots we needed.

Not only were we re-filming our open sequence we was also changeing it by now doing the whole sequence in a first person form. We hope this form will give our video a differnet edge and make it stand out.

Although filming took a long time we got the shots needed, as a group we come together to discuss these shots and on the hole they are exactly what we wanted. This will now allow us to edit giving us a chance to see how the video is going to look.
