Review Of First Day Filming

Our first day shooting our music video was a success however there were some drawbacks. Looking upon the positives we were able to capture lively shots of teenagers dancing alongside our chosen song. We hope to include this shot in our music videos, during the upbeat tempo sections of the song. When we come to editing, we hope to speed up the shots we captured and colour corrects the shots: this is because it would create a good visual representation for the audience. Rather than keeping it as a studio shot. However, the drawbacks of the music video were: as we hoped to capture both a dance shot and a lip-synching shot (of our featured artist)-when attempting to capture the lip-synching shot she did not know the lyrics to song, which affected the production schedule we made. Another negative was the mise-en-scene of the shot as those featured in this shot were wearing their school uniform which subverted from the codes and conventions of current pop music video, which consist of people wearing crop tops, mini-short, dresses, skirts and high heels. However, they were wearing brightly coloured clothing. The reason we opted for a studio shot was because of the high and low lighting which enhances those within the shot, to create emphasis on the moods emitted. The use of the tripod enabled us to capture steady shots and stability throughout.
