In this
essay I am going to be evaluating how I feel my 30 second music video went. I
will be explaining what I think went well and what didn't and why I think this.
I will also be suggesting improvements I may have made if I were to do one
again or had more time to improve.
The first
thing I am going to talk about is the research. I feel that the research for my
music video went quite well and if I were to rate how I think it went out of 10
I would give it a 7 or an 8. I would say this because I made sure to research to
music genre I liked and then tried to find an artist I liked and would enjoy
doing a 30 second video for. I also made
sure to find a back up in case I did not think that it would turn out as well
as I would have hoped but it did not come to that but I am still glad I had a
back up just in case. I also researched the genre finding out what sort of
things are generally include in this genre of music videos and I tried to include
as much of this as I could.
The
improvement I would make to this If I were to do it again is try and do a
slight bit less research as I feel I looked at this genre too much but I would
also make sure to write everything I find out down as I did not write down as
much as I found out therefore making it look like I did not do as much research
as I had actually done. Also the reason I would try and spend less time on the research
is because due to this taking longer than expecting I had to push back when I was
planning on doing the planning and the actual producing of the video but I still
got all of it filmed on time and to what I feel was a high standard so I am
happy with that.
The next
thing I am going to evaluate is the planning and I think that this went well in
some aspects but not so well in others. The reason for this is because I think
that I managed to plan out my video and what I was going to do but I did not
write much of this down. I still feel that I managed to make a good video due
to this fact but I feel it may have been better and I may have been able to
produce it faster had I written everything I wanted down and made sure that I knew
what I was doing.
Due to that,
if I were to make any improvement on the planning stage of my 30 second music
video it would be to write any ideas I have and anything I know I am going to
use down so that I am able to include every shot and every idea I thought of
into my video and also be able to show proof of what I have done and make sure
that all of the timings are okay and I don't just have to estimate them like I had
to with one or two shots but luckily I knew the timings for the rest.
Lastly is the
production of my 30 second music video and I feel that this was the part that
went the best. I think this because I feel that my video came out just as good,
if not better, than I expected it to. This is due to the fact that I have
included all the shots I wanted in my video and I feel the editing is all in
time and works well but the thing I am most impressed with myself for is that I
feel I managed to sync the music with the lip syncing which can be difficult so
I am glad that I managed that.
Personally I
do not think that there are any improvement I would make to the actual
production of my video but I do think that if I had made the improvement to the
earlier things then I would have had more time for the actual video and therefore
been able to make it better and possibly think of others things to include but
even now I cannot think of any improvements to my video which I am very happy
about as it feels like a success
