Production Diary

This week I have been watching and analysing some music videos, more specifically I analysed videos made by students who have already finished their video and seeing them gave me an idea of what is able to be created, both good and bad.

From watching these videos there are some things which I like a lot and would like to incorporate into my music video such as the use of lighting and contrast - also desaturating the colours of the video and using time lapses. Some things that I didn't enjoy that people had in their music videos was not having the subject in focus sometimes which made the video look very unprofessional as the camera wasn't focused on anything, the shot was just blurry. Another thing I will be avoiding is having bad lip syncing as it doesn't do the videos any justice.

During this week everyone had to make a lyric video for a song that they chose, I chose to do Animals by Maroon 5 and created the lyric video using Premier Pro. This gave me an idea of what editing the music video would be like and I think I'm prepared to do that.

This week we have been creating a questionnaire to ask people who are in our sixth form, the purpose on this was to gain an insight into what conventions people would expect to see in a music video from a song of our chosen genre, this also gave us some ideas as to a narrative concepts we could use and concepts that we should stay away from.

I also did a lot of editing this week, editing both our lyric video of Counting Stars done with the words written on paper and I also edited the audience research interviews so they were easier to watch, by dividing the different answers into sections instead of the viewer having to watch all of the videos individually.

In media this week, me and Emma created a video which introduced ourselves and what we were going to be doing together this year.

We also studied the competition that Maroon 5 has such as bands that are similar and looked at the conventions of Maroon 5.

We created a list of Disney songs in preparation for the lip sync video we will be doing next week, our final choice was Let it Go from the film Frozen.
