Test Shoots

What Went Well:

  • We collected and shot a lot of videos
  • Variety of all different angles and shots
  • The lip syncing was lined up very well on the video.

Improvements:

  • More close ups, as without them you don’t feel the connection.
  • Include better and more transitions
  • Add in shorter faster clips to keep the video short and snappy so it is more interesting to watch.
  • Add more transitions on the beats to make the video look better.

My star image was portrayed in a way which meant that a natural performance was created however this is not what we wanted to show, to an extent. We wanted to portray a confident character, someone who is having fun and enjoying life.  Our genre is pop so need bright modern stylish clothes for our future shoots.

Visual Shot List for Shoot 1 (Performance)

The genre of our artist is drum and bass/pop.

There are many conventional shots which are used within this genre which gives a sense to the music video that is distinct for the audience. Our artist works with many artists in their music videos meaning there are many styles combined.

However, throughout them all we noticed a lot of close up and mid shots were used along with hand held shots which showed the informal nature of some of the music videos, making them more natural.

In our music video we will copy the conventions as well as adding variety to make it our own

Describe Your Audience

From our research about our artists’ audience, we will use the information to reach out target audience and illustrate our narrative to make it appropriate. This will be important in order to satisfy our audience and make the music video successful.  However, it cannot just be the narrative that appeals to the audience, the performance must also appeal to the audience to make them want to continue on watching the music video.

Final Song Choice

The reason why we chose this song is because if it is done well, the video could be really good.  We also chose it because during summer it will be easy to record our activities.  We chose it because we liked the idea of getting footage from our summer and all the fun memories.
