Music Video Draft 1 – Rough Cut

Following up from our first shoot for our music video we edited as many clips together that we could to make our first rough cut.

Things that went well;

  • We synced up the lyrics to our models lip-syncing well
  • Since it was all of our first time editing we managed to embed the clips onto the sound track
  • The shoot day was perfect weather for our clips and the summery vibe reflects perfectly to our genre
  • the location we chose and style of our clips so far represent our genre well
  • We got a lot of footage of the chorus of the songs using different shot distances and angles. This will work well as part of our song will be a montage so the main parts that will be performance will be the chorus.
  • Our Mes En Scene all came together well and represents our star image perfectly.

Targets for improvement;

  • our models didn’t know the whole song throughout so we haven’t got clips of good lip-syncing throughout the whole song which made editing difficult as we have some gaps throughout the song.
  • The speed of our models lip-syncing didn’t always match the speed of the music
  • some of our clips were slightly shaky, we can improve these clips in Premier using the warp stabilizing tool
  • After editing and going through all the clips we realised that most of our close up shots were blurry and cut our some of the model at times so our draft one is mainly mid shots and long shots. therefore in our next shoot in a couple of days we will focus of getting these shot distances and varieties of different angles.
  • We were short of time on our shoot day so didn’t have time to go to different locations to show different scenery and make it more appealing to the eye. We will go to more locations on our second shoot.
  • Avoiding getting anything in the background that shouldn’t be there. For example;  camera bag, other people, cars
