Music Video Draft 2

Below is our second draft of our music video. In this draft we have added in an extra shoot of the therapy session in relation to our narrative. There are a couple of gaps in this draft as we are still waiting on carrying out another shoot of the performance as it is clear that we need more lip sync clips. Due to the fact we have still got one more shoot to do, we have also only completed a short amount of our video. We are working hard to get the entirety of the video finished in the time frame that we have.

Here is a music video created by a previous student that is similar to ours in terms of ratio of narrative to performance, additionally the narrative of this video can be related to ours.

This is a templated assessment of how we can give feedback about the video. I have put asterixis in the boxes that I think are the most appropriate for this video. It gives a rough idea of what went well and what can be improved upon, however if it was a real assessment more detailed feedback would have to be given.

3 Things that were done well

  • There are numerous close ups of the performer and included in the narrative which is incredibly important when it comes to filming as it allows the audience to engage more thoroughly with the performer
  • The composition of the clips have been effectively used, especially the rule of thirds – this helps with the engagement of the audience and the aesthetics of the video itself
  • In the narrative there are montages included and this aids the audiences understanding of the narrative and keeps them engaged

Targets for improvement – what can we incorporate into our video?

  • We can include more close ups and a wider variety of shots in our video as that is something we are currently lacking
  • Making the narrative clearer is also something we need to work on and we can achieve this by; firstly doing another narrative shoot to add in a small anecdote as seen in this music video, and possibly making the edits between the clips clearer so that the audience doesn’t get confused
  • Ensure that we have a tripod for all of our shots as although we want some of them to be handheld, they are slightly too wobbly and therefore have an overall negative impact on our video – as seen in this video, using a tripod helps massively with the quality
