Evaluation

My final production resulted to something different to what I had planned. The order of shots and scenes were placed in a different order opposing to the suggesting storyboard. This was mainly because one of the actors was not able to make it in on the desired shooting day and it lead to me making a few last minute arrangements. The beginning of my project was to start with a flashback scene of me mixing songs as it shows what I do in my free time. The reason why I couldn't film it and include it in my video was because I didn't have a tripod at the time to place behind me and capture me actually mixing the songs in real time. As this was a problem, I decided to make an introduction with myself rapping a part of my song to the camera in selfie-mode.

Despite the fact that I had to rearrange a few scenes and include new ones, the whole production didn't come out badder than I thought. I managed to fit in close-ups, mid-range shots and also a established shots too. Established shots were the most important whilst making this production as certain parts of the documentary was serious and it required a still camera angle. An angle that I
really wanted in my film was a bird's view angle, as it captures everything in the picture at a high angle. This wasn't obtainable to do as I was considering to do this in my bedroom but it was entirely impossible to do that because of the health and safety precautions considering that my room is small.

My estimation of video length time was 7-10 mins, but the overall timing turned out 12 mins long. This is a major concern for me as I feel certain people would be disengaged after the 7 minute mark. On the other hand, a longer lasting project with a range of camera shots, footage and angles will enable me a chance of hitting distinction criteria.

Task 2: Styles, Conventions & Techniques Of Music Videos

Styles, Conventions & Techniques Of Music Videos Everything produced in media has codes and conventions and music videos are no exception. A code or convention is like a guideline of rules that music videos often follow that are always dependable on genre or style. The main conventions for music videos relate to camera shots and angles, editing, lyric interpretation, extending or consolidating songs meanings and allusion. Lyric Interpretation - lyrics being shown as a music video and this catches the audiences attention and it could make them sing along or even understand what the song is about. (Lyrical Video from The Chainsmokers - Closer) Extending or consolidating   - Extending or consolidating a song's meaning in a music video is when you use symbolism and things in the mis-en-scene to further push the meaning of the song or to add more of a meaning to a song or to just bring the lyrics together into a visual explanation of what the song actu...

29.1 Understanding the purposes of music videos

Purposes of Music Videos Music videos have a purpose and they have a variety of meanings according to the genre of the song too. Some music videos are created to promote the artist, promote the record label, the album or even the song itself. In my report I'm going to talk about how 6 different music videos have 6 different purposes in the industry today. Promotion of an artist's album Promotion of an artist's album can occur through their own record company, a YouTube account or even the song itself being released in to mainstream radio or performed at live events. Normally this would happen before the artist releases the track/album to let the give the fans a warning to was out for their song which is going to come out.  Adele - Hello   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQHsXMglC9A The first song I chose is one of my favourites and most powerful songs out since the closing of 2015. Yes the song is called 'Hello' performed by the almighty Adele and the ...

Evaluation Of Radio Advert

At the end of making my radio advert it all was a dream come true but I had doubts that it wasn't good enough the way I planned it in and imagined it in my head. I felt the advert sounded great but could be better, like the way I recorded the voice overs, they could of been edited to make it sound much more clearer as if I actually recorded this thing for an actual radio station to broadcast out. I also felt like I could of used a better bed or range of different beds to signify the difference between the ups and downs of the information being provided throughout the advert. Nevertheless, the sound effects I used in my advert never clashed with the background bed I used and this was an amazing achievement for me meaning I had less to worry about in order of putting this advert together. It was also tricky to find a strong enough sound effect (Thunder Struck) to represent a real life sound to resemble fear/excitement to my product idea. The main reason for the use of the thunder st...
