Welcome post

Dear moderator, welcome to Faye White and Sophie Hack's A2 Music Video Coursework blog. Please use the labels on the right hand side to navigate my/our work. Work has been split into three main categories; Research and Planning, Product, Evaluation and where work has been produced by just one group member it has been labelled with their name. I hope you enjoy reading through my coursework journey.

Little Booklet for digipak;

Both me and Sophie choose to do the same booklet for our digipaks as we we're doing the same artist and same songs, we both felt that it would be easier and look better if we worked on it together.

Final Pitch

Song Change - Way in the World

We have decided to change the song choice for our coursework from Stay out by Nina Nesbitt to Way in the World by Nina Nesbitt. We have decided this for many reasons, firstly the song 'Stay out' already has a narrative video which we were thinking of recreating. However after thinking about what ideas we could possibly film they are very similar to the current music video of the song. So we had to change the song because we did not want to rip the video off.  We needed to find a song which does not have a narrative video. As we have done a lot of research into Nina's style and genre we wanted to find another one of Nina's song we could recreate. So after taking that into account we have chosen the song 'Way in the World' as this does not have a narrative video already and still has an upbeat and pop feel.

Prelim Task

Evaluation for Prelim Task;

By doing the prelim task we have learnt how to film, storyboard and edit. 

We were asked in groups to create a short clips of someone walking through the door and having a conversation. We where then to edit this on either iMovie or Final Cut Pro. During filming we have learnt the 180 rule which is only filming in a straight line when filming two people. This makes the shots look more professional and helps the audience not to be confused if there are too many angles onto the characters. We have also learnt how to apply an over the shoulder shot which gives the shot more interesting and helps the audience know that the characters are talking to one another. We have also learnt how to apply shot reverse shot and which gives the film a finished look by only including the action that is necessary. We have learnt how to storyboard effectively. This helped us when filming because we have already thoroughly planned what we are going to do so makes the filming process much quicker and easier. 

We have also learnt how to edit and cut film on Final Cut Pro, shorten clips and remove the sound.
