Don't Go Breaking My Heart
Whilst shooting this task, we would film whole takes in a specific shot, for example, when singing against the red background, we filmed the whole song at this point, which ensured we had enough footage when editing. Also, whilst filming we tried to incorporate as many different shot types, to make the video more dynamic. As a group we made the choice of using low angle shots, mid-shots, and wide shot.
When it came to editing our footage, we had made the conscious decision of lip synching through the whole takes, as this made it much easier to edit.
During the filming, some of our different shots in different locations, looked almost eye-sore as they were incredibly dull, and a bit ugly. But with our editing, and the amount of shots we had, we did not use this particular shot in the sequence.
I have learned that the filming process of a music video is very different to that of any other task we have filmed, for example the thriller we filmed for last year's coursework. With the music video we have to much longer shots, of the same thing to ensure the lip synching is matched with the backing track. I have also learned that the editing process for a music video is very different, as it has to be edited to match the beat of the song, otherwise the video can look odd.
