Music video- first edit



Because of the issue we had with the lighting, we decided to film shots 2 to 8 first as they were required to be filmed outside and we got a one-off chance to take time off school to film. After editing these shots, we showed our Media Studies teacher in order to gain Feedback.


We were advised to use more close ups and also to use a range of different shots from different angles. He also suggested using static shots instead of using camera movements. Also, we were told not to use a shot for longer than two seconds.


The editing stating “two weeks ago” was seen as inappropriate. This is because my teacher felt that the Font size was too big and Font size wasn’t right for the slow, ballad-like song. He also thought that red wasn’t suitable and said that removing this editing and portraying this in a narrative way would be better.

Production Schedule


Production schedule problems:

The production schedule which we initially planned did not work. This is because of various factors. Firstly, we had the re-film shots 2 to 8, which we did on January 13th.

Next, our actress, Hilary Arredondo, started a new job which required her to work during the day. Consequently, we had to film later on in the day where some days we filmed up to midnight. Also, through this, her schedule was extremely busy and we had to check with her each week for when she was free as her rota was produced weekly.


Also, on one of the days that we had planned to film, Hakan got ill which meant that we had to reschedule a day to film this scene (Phone conversation). So that we didn’t waste time, we used this day to film a performance part of Hilary’s as we didn’t need Hakan for this.


Furthermore, we had underestimated the time required to film each section, especially for the performance scenes. This meant that we ran over time and, on the times where we had planned to film two days in a row, we were all too tired to do so.


However, through all these difficulties, we still managed to film on time, even if it meant filming until very late at night.
