Teacher assessment-Music video

This is quick note from my teacher who watched my groups music video and gave us some feedback on what could have been improved. We have scheduled to re-film the dance scenes and change our concept (A dance student trying to perfect his dance, not giving into hard work), which our teacher suggested. 

Draft 2 of Ancillary task

\

Pois Technique

When developing our digi-pack, we found that our colour scheme naturally developed within our ancillary task and wanted to incorporate this into our music video in order to link to two elements together. Light blues and pinks are used significantly used in order to highlight an upbeat and energetic atmosphere, which works well with the fast tempo of our Dance-pop song. As a group we discovered a technique called the Pois technique (Explained more in the slide show above), this allows us to create visually interesting shots and photos while incorporating our colours.

First draft of our music video

Here is the first draft of our music video, however is is not fully complete having only half the editing of the video which has been marked on this video with an annotation. The reason we haven't finished the editing fully is because we have so many shots compared to other groups, such as the video contains at this point in time 16 shots types, and also we had trouble at the beginning with the rendering of our footage leaving us able to use Final Cut. We also found that the Dance sequence which we shot needs to re-filmed due to the location; the flat curtain background makes the shot flat- to resolve this we will be using a fig rig in order to create a smooth handheld camera movement against a plain wall or mirror in the dance studio. Furthermore, we discovered that we need more close-ups of the face and extreme close-ups because that was one of the many conventions of dance pop music videos.
 

New version:
Below is our new version of draft one, in which we have completed to our fullest potential. Even just comparing these two you will see our much clearer understanding of the Dance-Pop genre, because the pace of editing is much faster and matches the tempo of the song.
