Hello there and welcome to my A2 media blog The brief for the A2 course is: to form a group of two/three and produce a music video as the main product along with two ancillary texts: a digipak cover for the music video and a magazine advert for the digipak. We will also need to do research for the band we choose to do along with music videos from the same genre. We also need to research the typical codes and conventions for a music video. Feel free to leave any feedback on any of my posts Thanks
Firstly there was
flashing to black between shots in our opening and throughout our music
video which was really distracting for our audience.
Our class mates also thought that the opening dragged on abit and
that we should shorten some of our original shots, use multiple layers
to quicken it up and maybe cut with performance to make it more
interesting.
They also encouraged us to only show Rob getting out of bed and pick
up one peice of clothing instaed of all of them because we are doing a
music video and it doesnt have to be a linear sequence.
In our school scene someone pointed out that we could animate a zoom
on the magazine that the 'Muse Nerd' is reading and use multiple layers
on this shoot of all of the shots that follow it.
One of the biggest peice of feedback on our music video was that we
need to try and replicate the exact shots with the CD covers because
then they will link together much better and make more sense to our
audience. They also said that we should use the cross disolve transition
rather than fade to black because it breaks the link between the two
shots.
Another
peice of valuable footage is that we could try and enhance the
colouring on the shots that followed the 'Fly From Here' CD cover
Our primary audience also told us to try and start with shots that
are further away from our protagonist and then slowly get closer to
close ups revealing his identity.
With regards to performance footage someone proposed that in our
next rough cut we should multiple layer footage of the band playing over
some shots that have free space in the background.
We were also told that sometimes we should allow the lower opacity
shots to run on for longer and over more shots than we already have.
Finally we should make the loner aspect more obvious by using less shots so it doesnt drag on as much and isnt as boring.
