What I did like about this video is the style,I thought that despite being generally unsatisfied with the video, at least I had a style and a look in mind. However, there wasno plot, it was basically just me walking around miming. I have learnt from this however,I believe that now I have to solidly plan myvideo and have a cohesive idea, instead ofjust randomly filming anything, I also liked experimenting with black and white and contrast.The performance in the video (I have also learnt) needsto be rehearsed, spontaneity and impulse could beperceived as poor quality and a lack of ideas. My performance in the video was criticised for being over-dramaticand silly. I think that by using the Steadicam vest I could have beenmore adventurous, and I should have given more direction to the operatorI had an idea to represent the melancholy elements of the songby editing it with a grainy “old school film” look and with elementsof black and white that I feel go with the song.I did want to break the fourth wall, a close-up of the artist and aninteraction with the camera was something that I liked.Also, I did succeed in choosing a location that reflected the urbandespondence in the song, but I think using such an enclosed locationrestricted what I could do. I played it safe, and I came off worse for it.Overall however I don’t like my video, it’s unoriginal and contrived,criticism ranged from the slightly constructive to highly personal and abusive. I don’t think this video represents me fully, but I’ve learnt something from it, and have gained valuable experience in editingsoftware. My song was “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” by The Smiths
