About me

About me
Dear Moderator, my name is Siobhan Fox aged 18 from John Cabot Academy; I am currently studying Media Studies, English Language, Maths and Sociology. I am really enjoying creating my music video with my group and I am looking forward to being able to watch my final product. The main part of this task I am looking forward to is editing as I find that exciting and rewarding. Last year I enjoyed creating a short film with my group. I hope you find my blog interesting and easy to follow:)

Splitting up editing

We have decided to split up the music video so we can equally edit each section. We would each have 50 seconds to edit and this is what we decided:

0 - 1:00 minute - All three of us contribute to editing this section
1:00 - 1:50 - My (Siobhan) section
1:50 - 2:30 - Amelia's section
2:20 - 2:30 - 'Hey Hey' section - Me and Bonnie edited this section
2:30 - 2:50 - Rest of Amelia's section
2:50 - 3:40 - Bonnie's section

Me and Bonnie have edited the 'Hey Hey' section at 2:20 - 2:30 and we have also edited the split screen together.

Initial screening feedback

Our music video was shown to our whole class to try and get some feedback on what we have completed so far and how we can improve it.
Positives:

  • Green screen - creative
  • Well planned narrative 
  • Good pace of shots
  • All shots are in sync
  • Shots matched the beat
Negatives: 

  • Not enough narrative shots compared to performance
  • Lighting on narrative shots
  • Too many lip shots
From this feedback we can now work on the factors which our audience suggested, such as taking out the lips shots which do not look as good and cut the amount down and add more narrative shots. This has been very helpful to us as we can now improve our music video.

Self Assessment

10/40 for music video - I am pleased so far with our music video however i still feel that there is a lot we have to do, for example finish editing in sequence, the lighting and effects.

0/10 for digipak - We have not completed our digipak yet, we have only planned it.

0/10 for advert - We have not completed our advert.

To do:
Finish editing our music video - divide up separate parts to edit
Make our Digipak - take photographs to use
Make our advert - take pictures
