As we are now onto the post production element of our performance shoot, we have created a rough cut of our music video using Premiere Pro. By using our previous understanding of the software, we were able to choose different clips to be used throughout our song. As we gathered enough footage during out first shoot, we were able to complete a full rough cut of our performance video, this was down to our organisation as we gathered a variety of shots for the entirety of the song.

Our First Draft:

What We Did Well:

  • We were able to edit to the beat and the lip syncing mostly matches the audio.
  • Editing to the beat helped us to move between clips easily.
  • We have used a variety of shots and angles that help to effectively portray our star image.
  • Our variety of shots allows for movement within the video that helps to keep the audience interested.
  • Both my partner and I were able to have a go at editing in Premiere Pro, which helped our understanding of the software preparing us for our next edit.
  • We have displayed the correct repetoire of elements for our chosen genre through the use of Mise en Scene, Lighting, Costumes, Mode of Address and Acting.

Targets to Improve:

  • We could have chosen clips that have better lighting or adjusted the lighting in some clips to improve their quality.
  • To help keep the audience engaged we need to move between clips quicker.
  • We need to use the tools available to us on Premiere Pro to help sharpen our clips.
  • One of the clips used is blurry and should be replaced during our next edit.
  • With our understanding of the software, we can now begin to add effects and filters to help create a professional look.
  • Next time, after exporting our video from Premiere Pro we need to make sure that our audio and video are synced.
