Evaluation

One the hand, our pre production went very well we manged to complete evrything to a fairy high standard and we got all of our form made and signed by the people involoved. In addition to this, all the pre production was ready fairy quickly and therefore we met our deadline with plent of time to spare.

The actual production itself, as previously mentioned, was delayed due to the fact that our actors were otherwise occupied and were unable to film as they had otyher commitments. As a consequence, this delayed the actual production and therfore thepost preduction. On theother hand, once the actors were able to film, we manged to complete the filming fairly quickly. This meant that we could therfore start editing more quickly and do our first cut. To keep the typical elements of a music video we used 'the male gaze' for the women, although this objectified the women, it kept the common themes of a music video. One reason why the production could have gone so smoothly, and without many 'takes' was due to the fact that they did not need to learn lines.

Post production was the most time consuming sector of the production of teh video.
For our intial cut, we had to just match the shots to the music video and give the video a basic structure/skeleton. Once the video was posted onto youtube, it meant more people could look at it and comment on it.
After that I refined the timings to the basic drum beat, adding in extra shots to make the video look more realistic.
For our final cut, we added more colour and transitions to make the text seem more 'poppy'.

So guess what...?

We showed our teacher the second cut and he said it was grade merit and gave us a few things to tweek. He advised that we made some colours more vibrant. Since then, Melissa has exaggereated the 'red' and added more transitions to make the video more smooth between the cuts.
