Below is our final draft of my group and I’s music video, ‘THE BEST YOU HAD’. We have used the reflection from our previous draft to improve on our music video from various feedback from peers and our teacher. There are a few big changes within this video, for example half way through editing we realised we didn’t have enough shots of the couples together, this meant we had to change and reshoot our model to ensure we are portraying the narrative and our star correctly, and in a way that is clearly understood by our audience. Throughout our music video, are star is presented as an ordinary (Dyer) character who is heartbroken after her relationship comes to an end, this is a relatable aspect of our music video and helps the audience understand how the star is really feeling. Her extraordinary side does appear appear, as Dyer states this is crucial in the creation of a successful music video. Each shot captured and included in our music video consisted of the technical conventions and a blueprint (Altman) to ensure our genre is recognisable.
As a group, we are really happy with the outcome despite the last minute changes we had to make, however this proves that we can work efficiently under pressure. As a whole we feel we have best portrayed our star and narrative whilst keeping to a running, coherent theme of the pearl necklace throughout our products. The only element we are disappointed with is the black and white jump cut as from feedback we found that it was difficult to determine between the two girls. We managed to work around this and ensured it was edited as well as we could to the best of our ability.
