Over the summer I wanted to make a video to carry on my experimentation to increase my confidence using premiere pro, this is the video I created whilst at latitude.
Pre-Existing A-Level Music Videos To extend my research on music videos for my preliminary task, I will analyse previous media studies students' work. This will help me with my coursework because it helps me to see the kind of things the exam board specifically want as opposed to the professional music industry. Furthermore, it provides inspiration for my own coursework. 'Stuck' - Canopy Climbers (Henry Nathan) Editing The editing of this video is quite generic. They tend to opt for shorter takes to suit the pace of the song, as long takes wouldn't suit the bounciness and repetition. A technique they don't use is cutting-to-the-beat. This choice was effective because the song doesn't really have a defined beat, meaning that cutting to it would be pointless because the purpose of cutting-to-the-beat is to emphasize the beat. The student also chose to use cross-cutting between different scenes. This is used to create a balanced look, rather than play
What went well? Whilst filming, numerous things went well. Firstly, the weather was perfect for our idea. We had planned to film outside, so a rainy or windy day would have been bad for the film and the camera. It was hugely sunny and hot, so the lighting was perfect for filming. Our idea revolved around a relationship, and was generally happy, so bright, sunny lighting was perfect. What didn't go well? What will you do/not do next time? The main problem we had with our filming was organisation. This was in many forms; first of all, it was difficult to choose a date and place that was available for all of us. Some of our group don't live in Wymondham, so it was difficult for them to get to the location. Moreover, the task was just before our mock exams, so it was a rather busy time, so we struggled to organise a time to meet. Once we did meet at the location, we hadn't created a proper plan of our video, let alone what we were doing on that day exactly. Beca
Is there a particular directing style you want to use? Montage and long takes style Shots and the cuts are the most basic building blocks of films, meanings in films and music videos are created primarily by montage, or editing that uses cuts to place shots in conversation with one another. We get to view past and present at the same time and understand the back stories of our characters. Where shots last for a long time and keep the elements of a scene in deep focus, letting the viewer choose his or her points of emphasis. The mise-en-scène, the design and arrangement of the shot, gains importance in this style of directing. This is the style of direction I wish to recreate. Are there particular directors you are inspired by and want to integrate these styles into your work? Tim Mattia is one of the directors I was inspired by, Mattia tends to work with artists who take the narrative route throughout their music videos. A couple of examples of this would be Robbe
