Reflection on Progress (Construction)

I found that now I have completed my video and now that I have edited all of my clips together, it is clear that I have made a massive improvement as time has gone on. I believe this because I managed to change my work to suit the genre more and I did this through the feedback which I was given from my audience. When I Showed them a rough cut of my video they gave me a list telling me what I could have improved and I went away and acted upon this. One example, they told me and my partner that we needed a better opening and closing shots, we then took this on board and managed to get a range of different shots and put them together so it really showed we knew the genre.

Three improvements:

1.  I need to make sure that I now focus on my digipak and my magazine ad and look at a range of different ones so I know what will relate to my genre and what won't.                                                                                                
2. I need to make sure that I continue to gather feedback from my audience because I need to make sure I know what they think of my ideas.                                                                                                                       
3. I need to look at a range of different font types so when It comes to creating my Digipak I know what style is best to go for.

1st Screening of the Music Video

This is the first screening of our music video. I believe that there are a few things which could be improved. For example, there were some shots of our music video where the lighting is not the best and we had to add some effects to it to try and make it look better. Nearly all of the performance was perfect, however, at some points, the lip sync was not the best so we used a range of editing techniques to help make it better.

Rough cut of the music Video

This is a rough cut of our music video. We showed this to the class and gained some feedback on what we could put in to make the video have a better structure.
Things we could improve on:

• Beginning and Ending of video - one thing which could be improved is by having an intro which introduces the genre and a performer. The ending could also be improved by having a performer concluding the video.
• We could also have a better editing technique to the video in order for the clips to work better with each other.
• There are also some shots which could be changed due to them either having a slight blur and the lighting is not the best.

Test Shots and Performers

This is one shot of one of our actors, it shows a rough performance of what the actor can do and it also shows one of our locations which clearly suits the genre. As you can see the actor is wearing all black which is traditionally done by grime artists. Following the actor with the camera was tested in this shot and me and my partner decided that this was a good idea.




This is one shot of our second actor, it shows a rough performance of what the actors skills are. As you can see both videos have not been edited which is why you can see our actors have made some mistakes in which they both have corrected now. From this clip, you can also see that this actor is also wearing black which allows both actors to link together and relate the genre clearly.
