What I did.

Click icon to add pictureFor my Unit 21 Project I decided to do a Music Video. This was very hard from start to finish from pre production to filming, because although I had my ideas and Synopsis in my head I still a had to modify a lot of things to get the project to work. For example; changing the story, time and editing.

It was also difficult to film as the locations and areas I wanted to film on I had no promotion to do so. Also this affected the video due to not having the right resources, but in my opinion it still wasn’t bad at all. Strengths were that ended up on a better more realistic roof then planed out and was able to get much better shots from the roof scene.

Did I do it like it was planed?

Deleted scenes. The main story:

No but not dramatically different at all. The original Synopsis was changed as it was much to complex and time confusing for the time I had and being able to fit it all into the length of the song (4:48). This was a massive drop in my production schedule as I had to delete a lot of scenes and change my schedule actors. however I managed to figure out a way of changing most of the script to the video that you know.

My initial ideas. My initial idea was to film all the scenes

where I needed assistance or actors in the Easter holidays, and all other scenes that I could do myself on the bank holiday. This did not go to plan because of lack of assistance and actors which I had planed in advance. Also we were all in the time of exam period which me and my crew were doing in the middle of my production schedule so this inconvenience affect my Music Video but this dose not mean the final project came out bad at all it just came out different to expected.

In this time I wasn’t able to film conveniently I was able to start thing about what I was going to change and was able to think of new locations.

Pre Production.

My Original Pre Production.

I found that my Pre Production wasn’t to difficult as I knew exactly where I was going to film and if there where to be any inconveniences I had back up locations, it was just permission that I needed to have the use to be able to film in these locations.

My planning also went well because I have always had this Idea and thought of making it into a Music video so Unit 21 was a perfect opportunity for this. So knowing what I was doing in advance gave me a real step forward in planning.

I did all my Pre Production trying to make my shots at a very different angle every shot I did to make sure it wasn’t to boring to watch as it is a very cinematic opining. My time was well managed during this proses I could rely on my own timing and was able to fit this in time with other situations like exams.

Strengths!

I believe that I did well; The shot types; As much as I wanted to film I couldn’t because I was the only one who could act in it as I felt I knew the character as I created him. So I gave all the shot types that I wanted to film to get my filmer James Baldwin to do, And he helped achieve what I was looking for. James Said “I found the music video that it flowed very well having establishing shots shown with cinematic shots throughout the music video which made it feel very professional. Very good well done.”

I am happy that my final project went well, and some of my other strengths such as acting and editing the music and others went well to.

Weaknesses! A week point for me is timing and editing and of how they both link in with each other.

Now my editing isn't bad, its is just not good enough for what I would like to be capable of. Now this links into time and how I loose a lot of it when editing because I am some times a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to each individual clip, so if I was faster at editing, I would have more time to do my other work like this evaluation.

What will I do next time. Next time I will find a

suitable time for everyone and try not to get Media to interfere when other things are going on. Also I will try and get better equipment to get smoother and better shots, this would also make me have an increase in time when it comes to editing.
