Production work- marking

Level 2 There is evidence of a basic level of ability in the creative use of some of the following technical skills: • shooting material appropriate to the task set; including controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot sizes and close attention to mise en scene • editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer and making selective and appropriate use of shot transitions, captions and other effects • recording and editing sound with images appropriately. Where a candidate has worked in a group, a basic contribution to construction is evident

I like the start and the lip synching is good. I like the way you timed the candle being blown out with the beat of the song. You have some nice pace to the editing but there are still a few shots that are held too long. The problem is the narrative section which is unclear and there are some very random images in there like the moving bush!! There is some repetition and the video is short.



Video 22/40

 I like the idea of using the hand drawn school girl type imagery but I think you could have improved the one top right. I really like the couple inside the disc section and you've got all of the conventions

Digipak 7/10

 The website works and follows conventions. I'm not entirely happy with the background as it feels a bit too busy.

Equipment/Lighting decisions in our music video

Lighting is very important in music videos, as it allows it to be easier to see and also as it sets certain moods and atmospheres. An example of this would be, if we used low amount of lighting then it'll be setting a dull and sad atmosphere which would help highlight the meaning behind the song is not a positive atmosphere. Also the other way round as well, as if a large amount of colour is used then it'll set a more upbeat atmosphere and show that they're more likely to be given a positive media video to see.  Jessie J clip Here is a clip of Jessie J where she has dull lighting which represents the atmosphere as dull and an unhappy situation. The song is of a sad subject, it is negative song lyrics, this is helped by the lighting as its all dull however she is shown with a little more light over her so that she is highlighted as the main  This music video gives an impression of a dull meaning behind it just by the setting...

Editing Diary

This is our editing diary of our filming to keep updated on what we may need to change or re-film etc. What was discarded? We had some ideas that we had kept in our video however they didn't match or look good enough to be shown as a music video, therefore we discarded a few hots we had taken and got rid of them however we kept them for rough cuts. We had to discard these shots in order to get better ones that fitted better. A few things we had planned and put on our story board however when we filmed it we didn't find it effective and didn't think it looked right with the music. What changed? We changed some of our ideas whilst filming as we didn't w ant to stick to exactly what we planned as when we started to film we decided it was a bit boring and repetitive so we wanted to add more shots and locations in, we ended up with more than one location not just the park. Did it go smoothly? Our video as we stared to piece it together for the first time did...
