Prelim Video Task

prelim video task


task outline-
For this task, we had to shoot and edit a shot by shot copy of a real music video (around 60-70 seconds). I had a list of different videos to pick from, and the task was done with the members of my class.
planning -
To plan for this video, firstly I watched the original High-school musical video and took note of the different camera angles that were used to make ours as similar as possible. I then focused on the length of each shot taken so that when remaking the video, the shots would mirror the original
filming-
When filming this task, each member of the class was given a different character to play each shot, who would wear similar costumes to the original. Each different person in the class had to film one shot to ensure that it was equal.
editing-
To edit the video, I used the programme Adobe premier, where I had to take each shot and trim it down to the right point, and put it in the right place. This took me roughly two hours to edit. 

My contribution:
we filmed the first 1 minuite and 15 seconds of the 'what time is it' section of the movie, this is where all of the students are in the clasroom and are waiting for the clock to hit 12 so that they camn leave the classroom. We had to lipsynch the words 'summer' in time to the scene, and 2 members of the class had to lypsnch the first few words of the song also.
All together our re-make of the High-school musical video was very proffessional due to the in time lypsynching and it also had a similar amount of shots to the original. Nevertheless, to improve the final product, we could have focused more carefully on the camera angles that were used in the orignial. This was an exstremely usefull task as it enabled me to get used to editing music videos myself, and also gave me an insight of the difficulty. From this i have learnt how to use Adobe premier efficienly, additionally I have also learnt how to work quickly with a limited time period.
