My Progress from Year 12 to Year 13

In year 12 we didn't need as much planning for our film as there was not a lot of key elements to produce our film where as for a music video you have to think about the lighting of the set to make sure that it is bright enough, the music has to be in time with the lip syncing and you have to find suitable locations. This makes the work a lot harder to do as you can not just do it on the day as we could for our film, we had to get permission to use the different locations and we had to organise how we could get the lip syncing in time which meant that we had to take the work a lot more seriously to ensure that we get a good quality music video which also meant we worked outside of lesson time.
To organise the key parts of the music video we had to work in a group which meant allocating roles for people in our group to ensure we had the key components of our music video. We also had to think that about what the audience want so that they didn't get bored of the video (viewer fatigue) which meant we had to create an interesting music video which would capture their interest in order to keep them viewing the video.

Preliminary Task

The preliminary task was to produce a music video for the song 'In The Sun by She and Him'. This is my preliminary music video. I think that the the music video is effective because the lip syncing is in time with the lyrics of the song although several of the shots are muffled and it is hard to work out what is being said by the actor so in my next video I will get the actors to over exaggerate the lyrics so they can be recognised by the audience. Another good thing about the music video is how effective the cuts are as they do not interrupt the flow of the music but if I were to create another i would use several locations to avoid viewer fatigue. Another good point about the video is that there are several actors who are involved in it but if i was to create another I believe that more people would make a more interesting video so this would also help avoid viewer fatigue helping me to make a more succesful music video.
