Evaluation Q4 : How do you think your prelim experiences will impact to your approach to next term's music video coursework?

I think one of the biggest takeaways from our preliminary exercise is the massive improvement to be found in our performance skills. Our ability to lip sync and perform in front of a camera is a massive asset to us now and could definitely be utilised in our actual music video. I also think I would pay far more attention to the costume, hair and make-up of our characters as good hair and make-up really improves the professionalism of our music video. I also think that all of the organisational work done by our 1st AD, Amy, cannot be overlooked and will definitely be imitated when we produce our own video.



Overall, I found our music video remake workshop extremely good fun and I learnt lots about making a music video that I could apply to our own video in September. I think the project has also inspired me to be adventurous with my own video in September and use a mixture of figurative and performance based footage, perhaps tackling the grime or EDM genres of music, whilst trying to utilise the immense possibilities available to us in the Seward Studio, through its lighting decks and cyclorama.
