The filming of this piece took roughly 3 hours. This does not include the planning of the filming, which took around 2 hours. This, for a 47 second piece, gives me an understanding of how long my actual piece will take to film. To plan the music video we made a storyboard, planning each scene matching to the music. This helped us greatly as it allowed us to make each scene in a chronological order making it easier to film as we don't get confused at what we are doing our where we are at. The footage itself looked very good, as all the lip syncing is in time and looks neat. however, in regards to the continuity editing, we are wearing different clothes in some of the scenes, which makes it look less professional.
Editing this theme tune was very different from editing a movie opening, which I did for my A1 topic. This was because we had many other factors to think about; for example, the way the music video we were creating matches the music. Also the way that we had to lip sync the entire of our piece met other challenges as we had to make sure we were in time when recording, then edit it so it flows with the theme tune and keeps it looking interesting and professional.
We had to think about Andrew Goodwin's theory about music videos and apply what he said to our own creation. This meant we had to make sure the lyrics and visuals were matching and to keep the video from looking strange. Furthermore we had to think about the voyeurism of the shots and whether we looked into the camera or we kept looking away- which we ultimately decided to look into the camera to engage the audience more. Finally we had to keep the genre and visuals linked so the video actually matches the comedy genre of the music and TV show.
We also worked with a green screen which again adapted our skills so we can use them for our actual music video piece. This gaining of skill has allowed us to learn how to use Premiere Pro in a more adapted way which will benefit us in our actual piece.
However, we did not finish our piece due to unexpected events meaning people let us down when it came to filming. This has shown me how important time management actually is and how important getting reliable actors actually is.
Overall the creation of this music video has given us more knowledge and skill on how to use the programme and how to edit for a music video and has benefited us greatly as we now know the general idea on how to edit music videos, but does show how hard it will be making a 3 minute video compared to this 47 second one.
