Media Nationals Unit 3 Level 2
Introduction to Media Production
Evaluation
By Olivia Halliwell-Williams.
1. During unit 3 we worked together as a team to make a music video for the song ‘feel the love’ by Rudimental. Our weaknesses were not knowing how to use final cut and being able to edit the clips we recorded. However we were determined to improve our skills therefore we used the help of Spencer (special projects worker).We all put an equal amount of effort into creating our music video. We worked well to get all the paperwork done for this unit and split it equally between all of us so we all put our own part to the work in the video and paperwork. I think we was slightly disorganised and the reason was because the first time we went out we did not have a list of shots. When we next went out with the camera we have a shot list so we knew what we were looking to record. Other people have stated that i bring a nice atmosphere to the group by always being upbeat and seeing the positive in the problems we came across. For example on the numerous occasions that our footage was lost i attempted to make people feel better by pointing out we have extra time.
2. I am pleased with the outcome of our video i particularly liked the transactions that took place in the video. I enjoyed making the video and met our aim of making a music video However we lost a lot of our footage and the camera broke our footage. We also looked at other music videos in our group to get some ideas about the sort of music video we wanted. We managed with the footage we had. We then made our video to the best of our ability and we are happy with the outcome of the music video. I was good at suggesting ideas towards the video but if i had the chance to edit the footage for the music video i would struggle as i am not very familiar with ‘final cut’. I kept my role and gave my input as much as i could towards the music video. I would like to get better at using ‘final cut’ but the role of the editor is good at what she does as she know’s how to use ‘final cut’ which is good for the group and we are all willing to learn how to use final cut at a high level of use. At the start of unit 3 we planned how we wanted our video to look with a mood board and shot list. This is because we wanted to know what we was going to shot when we went out recording. Also we was very organised at the start of the unit as we wanted to get on with our recording.
3. In the music video we made part of our video black and white as we liked this effect on our video. We think that this effect makes the video look very retro. This is the look we wanted for our video as it was quite an urban area we recorded the footage in. In some parts of the video we speeded up certain footage like with the dancing we speeded that up to make it look more effective with the dancing. Also when we recorded the train we speeded up up and made it go back and forth on the train lines. This look’s very good in our video. We did this as it stands out. After that we watched our video over and over again then saw where else we could add things in and edit things in the video. We changed some of the transitions and also put 3 different types of recording into one shot but next to each other. This looked nice in the video and looked very professional. We wanted different transitions as this show’s of the good recording we have got and the editor in our group (emma) has shown off her skills on final cut.
4. In terms of legal or ethical terms i have discussed with the people who have been in our music video that the footage will not be used for anything other than the music video. Also all the footage we have recorded has been our groups own work. We have had some ideas from other music videos we looked at but we have changed the ideas slightly to make our footage unique.
