We were given the task to create our first test shoot using our chosen song. This was really good because it gave us our first real taste of what it is like to record several different shots angles appropriate for a music video and it allowed us to work on editing and practice our skills and experiment with different transitions. This was also a very good task because it helped us to think about what we wanted our actual music video to look like and what costumes and other elements of mise en scene we thought would be appropriate.

What Went Well –

• We were able to gather a variety of shots
• We gained further skills on how to edit
• We got to use transitions for the first time and experiment with them between different shots
• The lip-syncing was matched up well with the music

Our Targets For Our Next Shoot –

• Next time we should try and gather even more shots from a variety of different distances and angles
• We need to work further on our editing skills and transitions between shots
• We need to make sure that out editing is on beat with the music so that the video flows better
