3. RESEARCH
The strengths of my research were that I researched into
other music videos to try and pick out different techniques
from them to use in my video and also to see the general
structure of a music video. These included lots of camera
shots, angles and transitions. I watched over 10 different
music videos and 10 different tutorials on transitions and
how to execute them. Most of these videos were from a
YouTube channel called Learn online video where this guy
called Steve shows you loads of filming tricks and
techniques for music videos, montages, commercial videos
etc. I used many of these techniques in my video.
I think one of the main weaknesses of my research was
although when watching other music videos I got a general
idea of how they are structured I didn’t really do any other
research into this or write any notes down hence why I
didn’t consider this whilst filming which meant my video
was just lots of footage that didn't have a structure or
purpose. This just made my video slightly jumbled and
didn’t really lead anywhere or have any kind of story.
4. PLANNING
The strengths of my planning was I planned exactly when
and where I would be filming and had a good idea in my
head about what camera shots and angles I would be using.
I also planned what time I would go to different locations
and checked to see how many people would be there to try
and not get lots of random people in the background of my
video. Unfortunately I did still get some people in the
background but it wasn’t a massive issue.
One of the weaknesses of my planning is that I didn’t think
about how much footage I would need. As I said before
there is no story to my music video and its just lots of
random footage but I didn’t plan how much footage I would
need to fill up the song. This meant that once I started
editing I did have to go back and film some more. One thing
I did learn during this project was that when your shooting a
music video your time is really tight and when you go to
your filming location you have to film and leave pretty
quickly so there is no extra time to plan anything during
that moment so have a clear an concise plan is crucial.
11. FEEDBACK 1
What did you like about the product?
I really liked the camera techniques
The transitions used made the video flow very well, it stopped the
video from being blocky which could have happened without the
transitions.
The choice to use different locations with different lighting helped the
video as it had no story to it.
What improvements could have been made to the
product?
I think that maybe you could have edited the video to cut to the beat
a bit more and the actor could be a bit better, he looked at the
camera way too much.

12. FEEDBACK 2
What did you like about the product?
I thought the camera work seemed natural and had a
consistent at school feel.
You used quite a few locations, which gave the video a
lot of movement, and kept my attention as result.
You have utilised quite a few nice transition effects and
video effects, as well as a decent sound transition.
What improvements could have been made to the
product?
Colour was dull
Looked at camera a few times, so maybe take a few more takes
