Skills Task Research and Planning

I found that the story board was most useful when editing the video clips as it gave a clear insight to which scene followed another in time with the music. It helped me carefully edit scenes so that the timing of each clip matched the timing of the music. This was beneficial to do otherwise the lip syncing would not have matched the timing of the vocals on the mp3 track. In future for my coursework, I will plan the shot list with more detail so that I know exactly what I am filming in order to produce a successful shot. This will also be less time consuming as I can film what I need without having to repeatedly film the same scene to get the correct shot. This will also prove beneficial as the weather will be much colder when Filming commences so it will be less time consuming filming the scene outdoors if needed.

During the A2 year, I plan to watch various different music video's to grasp an insight into the detail put into the production of a music video. I will then decided on a music genre and create a mood board into what images and emotions match that genre in particular. For my video, I will need to make a list of the cast and their roles. This will then be used for the shot list. I will produce a story board to help me plan shot by shot. A risk assessment will be made along with a list of props, costumes and locations.
