Here is our draft two of our music video which includes the performance shots as well as some narrative shots.

Overall, I’m reasonably happy with our draft two of our music video. However, I feel that there is an element missing from the video that links it all together so the video is clear and makes sense. In order to try and solve this problem we’re going to seek feedback from our peers and teacher to help see what is missing.

What went well…

• We were able to include a range of different shots to make our video more engaging.
• Allowed us to see how we were going to merge our narrative as a story within the music video to make sense with performance shots in between.
• Developed a sense of possible effects and creative ideas we can include once we are happy with the sequence of the video.

Even better if…

• There needs to be a clear difference between his emotions at the start of the narrative compared to how he’s feeling at the end of the music video.
• We could add transitions and effects that fit with the serious and somber theme of the music so the two link together and remove the comedic ones that are used.
• Ensure all the lip syncing is perfected to create an engagement with the viewer as it is a basic skill in our video.

To focus forward for our next draft we will duplicate this in order to go back if we do not like our new changes. From this draft I have learnt the importance of perfecting the lip syncing first and colour correcting the clips if needed then add the after effects as it looks more professional and refined.
