Introduction to our music video planning.

Due to taking part in our AS production, myself and Sally have learnt various skills from last year that will greatly benefit in the production of our music video.
This is mainly how to work the software and how to use our time carrying out such a task affectively. We should be able to edit our video faster this year as we already have the skills needed to work the software. We will also be more familiar with how to work the camera and how we can push ourselves with what type of angles and framing we can use for each shot.
We will be developing new skills this year as we will need to learn how to be able to edit our footage in a way which links the movements of the actor’s mouth singing to the song, to the actual timing of the song. We will have to be precise about this and take our time over getting this just right to make the video look professional. I think this process will be harder than last year but will be an advantage to use as it will expand our knowledge in using this software.

In order to plan and film our production we need to research various aspects of music, artists, theorists and videos. This investigation will be useful and may influence or give us ideas as to what we want to feature in our video. In order to film our video properly we need to plan affectively and gain as much outside information as we can. Also, making a Gantt chart will help us divide and manage our time sufficiently to display to us when we should have finished each part of work by and when to meet deadlines, therefore, making sure everything is completed in time.

Once we have completed our research and planning we are able to physically construct our music production. We think we have a strong idea and basis for our video and look forward to viewing our end product.
