Individual
Statement.
At
the beginning of making our music video we had to complete research tasks,
which we did individually, then each of us would feed back to the group to give
each other a better understanding of what we were all doing as well as managing
time more effectively. As a group
we discussed what song and genre we would like to use for our project until we
found one, which we were happy with and believed we could make a good music
video to, after this we took work off our individual blog to contribute towards
our group blog.
As I
was quite weak at editing as I have little experience of it, only from my
preliminary task I had little editing practice so I decided to make a few of my
research tasks into videos using ‘iMovie’, which I had to edit together, for
example “music videos’ that influenced our music video”, which involved me
finding music videos from already established artists within our genre then
picking ones fairly similar to our to show where we got our inspiration from and
I also contributed in editing our final music video. The genre of the song
isn’t one I am particularly familiar with as it isn’t really music I would
listen to so I also had to research the genre and the themes within that genre
to give me a better idea of what our music video should contain, for example listening
to music within this genre, watching music videos in this genre and researching
styles of clothes.
As a
group we had a photo shoot of the band in which we took shots at different
angles and edited the best ones to make our poster, create and digi-pack and
use on the website. I created the original poster, however I found it quite
challenging as photo shop isn’t a program I use a lot but had some experience
from creating my music magazine last year, I hadn’t used photo shop since creating
my magazine in AS so I had to undergo a learning curve. However I overcame this
by trial and error until I was happy with the outcome of the poster.
Overall,
Completing this project majorly helped me improve my technical skills with
editing footage as well as images, and also helped me realize how much work
goes into making a music video and all the other tasks that go alongside it,
for example posters, blogs, facebook pages and a lot of research. I believe we all put in equal effort
and tried our best to make our music video as interesting and aimed at our
target market as possible and I think we all did very well.
