Below is our groups rough cut of our performance and narrative shoots. There were advantages and disadvantages to this shoot – the locations were ideal however we needed a much wider variety of shots and the weather was not what we intended for one of our location performance shoots. We will be re-filming in these locations as we believe they convey the idealized Mise En Scene for our alternative genre.

Pros of editing, filming, etc

• While filming we all contributed by each using the camera and thinking of new angles and shot ideas to include. This was also the same for editing as we all cut and inserted and cropped clips individually
• Our communication was good while editing as we could all agree on what clips to cut, which ones to keep, and where to place them in the video
• As the chorus is the most significant part of the video we had to ensure we filmed many clips in varied locations at the sites – and we successfully achieved this
• We have varied shots throughout the rough cut which help to contribute to the effect that the video will have on our target audience

Things to improve on

• Due to the fact we did not manage to film all of the lyrics, there are not as many clips of him singing as we wanted in our rough cut, having an overall negative impact on the product – to improve this our model needs to know the entirety of the song prior filming
• We need to consider editing more whilst we are filming – for example, shooting shots for jump cuts to heighten the editing process – this will keep our audience engaged
• While filming we must ensure to keep referring back to our narrative and performance story boards so that we don’t waste time thinking of new shots
• We could do with having more close ups and extreme close ups to keep our audience engaged
