Having submitted the first draft of our Music Video, I have reflected on what I felt went well during production.
Firstly, our first location worked well. Setting up our equipment early maximised our time to film and it was fortunate that we did this as we soon discovered the camera we planned to use was not working. we used the extra time saved to collect a friends HD camera which was effective and worked well. Location was something that we were going to struggle with as we did not have the means for large amounts of travel. Maximising places close to home was something we did effectively, using Rhys Garage and re creating it into a post apocalypse scenario.
Something which we will focus on doing through the final draft is ensuring that throughout the filming process we mention at the beginning of a clip which shot it is. I found that through out the first draft editing we had trouble realising which shots were which. Fortunately, via cooperation we put no wrong shots in. The drums were a part I found particular hard, however this is a point which exemplifies the cooperative nature of our work. For this part is where Rhys excelled and we put the correct shots in the correct places.
From the feedback we have been given via our teacher we have recognised areas which we need to improve. For example we have been told that some of our shots within the wood are to long and should have another shot put in perhaps filming from behind. Also we have been told that our film has to many individual shots whereas there should be more quality shots repeated throughout the video.
I feel that this will play to our strengths as we are in the fortunate position of having a HD camera to film on.
We have made amendments on our storyboard; writing what we need to do where.
