The song used is Justin Bieber 'What do you mean'. Despite not being a fan of his music, our group believed that the instrumental of the song was at the correct pace to allow us to compress lots of shots in such a short sequence. It is also very repetitive and consistent throughout which gave us a chance to development our editing skills by beginning on a simpler song to incorporate with the visuals.
Learning Comment-
The task enabled us to try 30 shots in almost as many seconds. We used previously learned techniques such as match on action and shot reverse shot in the clip to add pace and use a variety of angles at shorter lengths. A few minor issues found after editing such as a thumb covering the camera and the reflection on the car showing the camera man. The task furthered our knowledge of music videos, beside from lip syncing, as it shown the narrative side of a video which is often shown. We can now incorporate both elements of the video into a clip, which will be needed in our final product. The task has shown that to add professionalism to our video, we need to try and edit on the beat of the music. This may be challenging, but it will drastically improve the overall quality that this video may be lacking. To achieve this a detailed plan, including lengths of shots to fit the beat, will need to be used so we can shoot correct lengths. Overall, I think that the task was a success, working well with the song and even using a bit of lip syncing learnt from the previous task.Here is the storyboard we tried to follow. Unfortunately, we slightly adapted due to conditions such as filming in a public place which some of the shots would have been damaged by continuity. Therefore, we decided that to increase the quality of the video it would be better to avoid using parts the the proposed clip and focus on what would look best as a sequence. Next time I would consider using a shot list as it is easier to follow while shooting, as well as the duration of shots so we are more organised.
