Pitch Feedback

Pitch for Music video

Making the Pitch for Music

In this lesson we have began making the pitch for our music as we have now decided that we will use the Song Nothing is promised by Rihanna.
To create the pitch we have divided the tasks for this pitch that we have began creating and I have created the rough plot and the location.

Treatment Ideas

In my group with Leena and Hamda we decided to start brainstorming about all the ideas we had for our music video we all decided to start thinking about our case studies and the inspirations we had behind them. As we realised that we had different taste in music we all decided to put in our input of songs that we liked.
We spent this lesson looking for appropriate choices and came with a list of 5 ideas

• Blem - Drake
• Nothing is promised-  Rihanna x Mike Will Made It
• Something New - Zendaya
• Say it - Sevyn Streeter

Lip Synch Taster Part 2

In our group we used the song She Don't by Ella Mai, this was the first time we experimented with lip synching, filming and editing.




Strengths
- The editing for the video include a lost of quick cuts which is a feature of a many music video.
- The locations where used appropriately to the genre of the music that we chose


I think that our music video had high potential as the song that we chose was not complicated to incorporate the filming with the rhythm of the song. We were easily able to upload our clips onto Adobe Premiere and furthermore use the tools to be able to cut the clips.


Weaknesses
- Lack of clips
-Out of focus Clips
-Natural lighting not used to an advantage
-Out of synch with video


When editing the video we realised that we did not have enough clips that would be able to fit the 1 minute that we intended to do, this then lead to us not being able to finish the full video because some of the clips could not be used. In addition to this the clips were not as clear as they should have been because they were not in focus and as it was very sunny the lighting spoilt the images when the camera moved. The main difficulty we had was trying to match the music with the video lip synch.


I believe that when doing our actual music video we can improve or weaknesses by:
- Filming repeated shots
-Check that the camera is fully prepared to film (focus, white balance)

The lip synch taster Part 1

In todays lesson we filmed various shots of a 1 min extract of a song. The shots included a

• Close Up
• Mid shot
• Long Shot

These shots will be cut together to the rate and rhythm of the song chosen which we will the evaluate.

DSLR Camera Induction

In this lesson we were bale to learn how to use the DSLR cameras for our music videos. We learnt how to use the filming mode, how to focus the lens, controlling white balance an how to change the shutter speed.
This was useful as I now believe that it will be easier to film and get the highest of quality clips.
