Preliminary Exercise - What we have learned.

What we did:

-First we found a place that we felt suitable to film. We tried to make sure that we used a place where the wind or weather would not affect us.
-We then filmed both of the characters singing the duet.
-Then we filmed the characters singing the song individually.
-After attaining all the footage we had, we began editing.
-However, we had to re-film some shots, as they did not look as good as we expected them too.
-While editing we used the toggle clip overlay tool to arrange the clips we had in the right order.

What we learned:


Throughout our preliminary exercise, we learned many valuable lessons that will come in handy when making our music video.
1) We learnt that learning a song with short notice and attempting to lip synch it in time with the music is very difficult.
2) We also learnt that editing the video in time with the music is extremely difficult.
3) We learnt that the weather has a huge impact on the effect of the video, as if we shoot the video on 2 separate days and one of the days is raining, whereas the other day is sunny, the video does not match up and looks bad.
4) We also learnt that taking the video seriously is a huge factor when filming. If the people starring in the video are laughing and joking around, it looks bad and unprofessional.
5) We also learned to take into consideration what is happening in the background of the video. When we were filming our preliminary, somebody else was filming their preliminary in the background and it looked unprofessional, confusing and immature.
