Used as a hub to upload and regularly update my progress in research, planning, production, post-production and the evaluation. The HTML feature allowed me embed work from external websites, instead of having a hyperlink. Making the blog posts more visually appealing. While blogger allows for customisation of the templates, the formatting of the site sometimes makes the images pixelated on the main feed.

I used this website to create GIFs of the music video to upload to Twitter and to illustrate what section of the music video I'm talking about in the evaluation.

I used this website to create the Twitter header and for the practice album covers. I discovered in the research and planning phase that Canva wouldn't be the best application to create a digipack on as it only had basic tools to edit images.

Premiere Pro was a suitable application to use edit my music video.

Performance shots in this music video were strong and were typical of those found in music video (close-ups of the instruments and the band members)

There was also a narrative element to the video

The first shot had a good composition with the song title layer over the top

One of the down sides was that there was a little bit of camera shake on some of the shots

Colour grading could also have been used to give it more of a conventional look

Using the mark scheme I would have given this music video 32

The use of a black and white colour grading in the reverse shot of the photo being effectively un-burnt was visually interesting and creative

It includes some convention of the genre. For example playing guitar in a countryside location

The video focused on the artist quite a bit, and that is typical of a music video, but it does get repetitive after a while.

The shots are a little limited and do have a few exposure issues

Using the mark scheme I would have given this music video 25

The shots in this music video had interesting compositions and were varied throughout

I particularly liked the silhouette shot, as it was very effective and used well

There were a few focus issues

There wasn't a particular plot to the music video, while it was different and interesting, it was perhaps loosing momentum about half way through

I would have given this music video 30

Youtube

To get inspiration for my music video I went to Youtube to find already existing professional music videos. Building up an idea of what was coventional in a music video for an indie/alternative song was important to me. I also looked at what the band who I chosen the song from had done in their music videos. I learnt that they featured themselves often in a performance set-up. I also used Youtube to look at previous media students in an exercise to get used the mark scheme and know exactly what do and include.

Uploading the drafts onto Youtube allowed me them on my blog and gather audience feedback easier. As people could access the video on any device, as long as they had internet connection.

Tutorials for the adobe packages can also be found on Youtube, alongside vlogs about how to create a low budget professional looking music video. Specifically I re-watched a tutorial I found useful in AS to refresh my memory. An after effects tutorial of how to create a glitch effect.

In AS my role for the thriller opening was editing and camera operating. Moving into A2 I felt I was in a good position to use technology in my music video. Although there were technology that I felt would be useful to get a better understanding of to create my music video.

For the band performance aspect of the video, three DSLRs were used to get a variety of angles at the same time, two set up on tripods in different angles and positions. The last on a shoulder mount, so that I could get some movement and energy into thew video because it is a fast paced song. I chose to use DSLRs over phone cameras and handhelds because I knew from the AS thriller opening production and preliminary pieces that they produced a clear picture and were reliable. From using the same Nikon camera in previous media studies work, and to film a promotional video for a school production of the musical Hairspray a month before filming the music video. I was familiar with the cameras and how to setup them up for filming.

At the pre-production stage I tested out how to use a green screen in practice video, as I had never used it before. This was beneficial, as if it was necessary for the final music video I would be able to use it and know what you can and can't do with it. For example I learnt that when removing the green background in Premiere Pro (using chroma key) it also removed fragments of my friend's hair, and didn't look soft around the edges. After testing the green screen out I found it wasn't something that would fit in with the style of music video I was going for. While i didn't use the green screen for a digital backdrop, I did use it as blank canvas for band member close ups in the dark.
