Music video- Preliminary task (L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N by Noah and the whale)

As I started the Media Studies A2 course late at coombe girls school, I did not create a preliminary task, but the group I was later put in did and this is there production:

This is our preliminary task. We had to create a music video
of about 1 minute, that included 3 different locations, 2
different costume changes, and an element of performance. We
were asked to shoot it like a proffessional music video, and
not shoot in locations such as a park etc. We feel that we
have done this successfully, and really like the music video
we created. I think that the quirky style of the music video
suits the indie band that we chose. For example, the use of
a barbeque for drums, and the random people in the streets,
created a unique and indie feel. One of my favourite parts
of the video was the chorus when the signs were lifted up by
people on the bench, as I think the whole video led up to
this moment, because enigma was raised through the
randomness of people holding different letters.

However, there are parts of the music video I would change,
and want to improve on in our future work. One of the major
errors, was the lip sync. You can tell that our lead singer
was not sure on the words and this made the video look less
proffessional. Therefore, in the future I will make sure we
rehearse and the band learn the lyrics well, in time with
the music. Another mistake I feel we made was not selling
the artists as much as we could have. I think there should
have been more close ups of the whole band, and will ensure
to do this in the future.

Finally, by creating this music video, I have learnt a lot
about what I will need to do for the real task. I realised
that we need a huge amount of footage to make editing
easier. I will make our video look more proffessional by
giving more costume changes, and making our star look like
they are a famous celebrity. However, overall I feel we did
really well with our preliminary task, and it has set us on
our way for a good final project.
