Questionaire Feedback

Here are some examples of the questionaires we handed out to a range of different people who were the audience at a screening of my music video, they give both negative and positive feedback which was good because it helped me identify some mistakes I made and also some of the good points about it;

Story Boards

In order to make our music video have a more professional feel we decided to create story boards. Story boards are a series of illustrations or images displayed in a sequence of potraying and pre-visualising a motin picture. Here is some examples of the story boards I created;

In order to get an idea of the stereotypical things within music videos I analysed the beginnings of two quite different music videos;

Beginning of the filming!

We have started our filming and it’s all going quite well. We have made sure to shoot every part more than once and from many angles, this involved taking a lot of equipment with us including sometimes 3 tripods and 3 cameras which is sometimes quite difficult but worth it because we come out with a larger variety of shots. We have shot the first scene which is filmed in a bedroom therefore this scene was quite simply shot.

Other roles

The other roles of my music video are going to be done by the other members of my group;

Emily Laws – Filming, Extra

Alysha Pearson – Acting, Directing

To fill in another acting part we needed we have decided to use a student from school who is flexible with his time therefore we can film as much as possible without delay.

My Roles

One of my many specific roles throughout the creation of our project is editor. Being editor I have to use programmes such as Imovie. It is very simple editing software yet it has all of necessary effects and transitions that we need to use. One of my other roles is one of the main actresses within the video. I will be playing the girl who gets stalked therefore I need to make sure that I play my character accurately in order to make sure that the audience understand who I am.
