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.
