Test Shoots
What went well:
- we were successful at getting enough footage to fill the whole clip
- our editing to the beat was successful and choppy like the harsh beats in the song
- our lip syncing is successful and in time
- the jump cuts of the dancing at the beginning are appropriate to the genre
- the inserts of the high angle movements when there is no singing make the video seem less static
- the dolly shot is very effective and creates the sense of madness the singer is feeling – it relates to the lyrics
Even better if:
- the first zoom transition is the only one in the video – it is nice to have things in three’s so it looks more complete
- add colour corrections in the future
- more moments when she isn’t singing and dancing to convey the pop genre as fluid and free
- the long shots could have more movement to them – the singer is quite static which isn’t as conventional to the genre
Targets:
- make sure transitions are in 3’s to make it more complete
- have a wider range of shots to create interest
- ensure the singer moves when they sing
