Evaluation of Pop Promo Prelim

The video was broken up to three sections, we where tasked with the second part, for this we started by listening to the extract we had to shoot for, whilst doing this we came up with ideas of shots we wanted, we also looked at other rock music videos to show the exact shots we wanted, this is where we got the inspiration for some of the shots and clarified some ideas.

This is the list of shots we wanted:
  • Wide shot of the band
  • Close up of the singer
  • Close up of Guitarist
  • Close up of Bassist
  • Close up Basist hands playing
  • Close up Guitarist hands playing
  • Close up Drummer
  • Mid Shot Guitaris+ Drummer in the back
  • Mid shot Guitaris
  • Wide Behind the band
  • Close up Drum Pedals
  • Mid Shot Guitarist+ Bassist
  • Mid Shot Singer + Guitarist
  • Mid shot Drummer 
  • Mid shot Singer + Bassist + Drummer
Throughout this process of filming I mainly Filmed. We did rotate roles thoughtout the process, I filmed and directed, I think that the rotation of the roles Helped for us to understand what we have to do in the actual Pop videos that we will be shooting and Editing.

 As a team i think that we worked well, along with the shooting we where given time to edit, the editing process was short and flew by, we started by placing all the shots on top of one another and sinking them up to the music, By this point of the day the song had Grew on me so it was starting to get a little more enjoyable, the song I would describe to be Emo/ Rock/ Screamo was easy to edit once in place and Sinked up, we decided on quick shots as it is a rock video as rock videos normaly change from shots quickly.

I think that together with Vlad, Fergus and Will we worked effectively as a team, we got the work done quickly and effectively, the shoting process was done well and as profesionally as we could, and the editing process was fun and we got through the editing fast.

For the edting Process we layered all the shot on top of one another and then sinked them up to the last click of the four click intro that the band had before the playback started, once all the shots where sinked up we could cut it however we wanted, for this we decided to go over each clip and cut the areas of the shots that we wanted.

After having finished the first two lines we realised that it would be easyer to just cut out parts of the shots
that we wanted and that fit into a place that no shot had fit into, this ended with the process ending very fast as we had to just look above at the complete layeres and use parts that we liked to fill in the missing spots, we left the wide shot at the bottom to fill any spaces that had not been taken.
After this process was complete we linked all the shots to cut in time with the music, this made the video look more professional.
