Previous students music video in relation to our music video draft 2:

Because the major storyline of this music video, created by a former student, is about the accumulation of work depicted with the printouts in the backdrop and how things may get overwhelming, it is relevant to our video.
They lip-synced any performance really effectively, using a variety of angles to depict the emotion emitted by the words.
Particularly impressive was the costuming and general mise en scene, which blended seamlessly with the story to produce an overall well-rounded and professional-looking music video.

This is our second music video draft for emotional rap with self-assessment.

SELF ASSESSMENT AND TARGETS FOR IMPROVEMENT

what works well:

• The clips we got of MES work well with the performance and narrative and link them together making for effective music video
• we collected a wide range of shots throughout the shoot which is proving effective in the editing process as it gives us more selection and a wide range of choices in key features such as angles, range, composition, movement through the frame, etc.
• editing to the music is easier now with a wide selection of clips making jumps cut easy to make and fit in as the performer sang the song from start to finish in all of the clips, therefore we can find the time the last clip got up to and splice them together making for one smooth transition all in sync.

What needs to happen in the next shoot/ targets:

• get more shots to fill the empty spaces on the editing timeline.
• include more close-up shots of the face and more specifically the lips of the performer as it will add symbolism in the lip-syncing.
• add filters in the net editing stage to give different clips contrast against others and make them stand out more.
