Evaluation Time- One Shot Music Video

 The review of the one shot homage to Metronomy's "she wants" that we made as a group in college. While I put forward as the main character and director but i was not voted in. Even though i didn't have the authority I still got involved with ideas. I managed to get the idea I wanted into the video which was the part where i was wearing my latex horse mask and brushing the fake hair on it.

Looking back at the video its clear that there is some faults in the video quality, but i remind myself that as a first group project for us it was still really good to watch and you do forgive some of the shortcomings. One of the main things i had an issue with when watching it was the focusing of the camera. We probably should have had someone with a focus puller to keep the video in focus but they might have made the video harder to shoot.

One of the the better things for the video was the organisation and positioning of the different pieces that were chosen by the directors. The sequences that followed were one of my favourites Ive seen in a video. My particular favourite was the zombies at the arcade games machine because of the effort put into looking the part and the way they stared intently at the camera like zombies have done in many films.

Working as a group was very crucial to this and I think the directors did manage to pull the large group together really well. The organisation and timing was to the credit of both of them as they had to plan the route and the setup of each act placed well enough that they flow really well from mini scenes to mini scene.

This being the first production team of this size the directors both did really well in keeping people ready and doing their jobs without being too bossy which I think is very admirable. The ease of the piece was probably down to the fact everyone was really excited to do this video and were happy to do what was necessary to make the video great. Including doing what you are told.

The great thing about doing this whole video was getting to practice my editing skills more the before on any other task. The time we had to work with on the music helps make a sense of urgency to the editing so you fit the video to the ending of the music.

In the event that all copies of the videos were lost I would pretty much do exactly the same if possible but have a focus puller for the camera and position some people in different places. On the stair case i would have have had the stampede running before the camera focuses on them instead of watching them start running. But other than that the video was done really well and it looks really good.
