The most common shot types in music videos are establishing shots,close ups and mid shots.Myself and my group have used both close ups and mid shots which is what we planned.we realized as a group that we didn't do as well as we could of done with this task.One reason for this is we didn't plan thoroughly this led us with little time to prepare and film which we ended up with around 15 seconds of footage instead of 50 seconds.This put us at a disadvantage as we wasn't able to finish our mini music video off which is a shame because the first 15 seconds look good and hen it just stops.This meant that we wernt able to include many of these shots such as mid shots and establishing shots.
If we did get to finish what we had started then we would have included some more establishing and master shots in order to present a good balance of camera shots.
What is Vernallis theory and how well did you follow it in post production?
Carol Vernallis theory focuses on four main key concepts in music videos these are camera,narrative,editing and diegsis. Our.Our mini video does not follow Vernallis theory.Te music video is not a response to the lyrics which makes the narrative type disjuncture which means the actions in the music video do not reflect the lyrics as Carol Vernalli states they should.However our editing managed t follow her theory for example continuity editing was broken,we ave some jump cuts however,this is due to the lack of filming we had produced.Our editing did have a rytmic basis connected to the song which looked good and even better if we had prepared and got it right.
what are base tracks and why do most videos contain them?Evaluate how well ou made use of them in your video.
Base tracks are mini clips that are referred to back and forth in a music video.A use of base tracks is that it makes it easier when it comes to editing.This is because you can pick and choose whether or not to cut away any faulty parts in order to make a better music video.However,cutaways are used in order to make the video more interesting as it can move away from what is actually happening or even illustrate what is being sung.Sadly we do not have a full base track as we have only filmed 1 seconds of the opening but we would have had one with a few cut aways to make the music video seem more interesting.
How did you use markers to help you lip sync and how successfully were you/your group at lip syncing.
With the short footage of what we had made we did our best to edit what we had.we used Final cut pro in order to edit our mini music video.Final cut Pro is very useful i have found from previous experience.We used the markers this helped us match the audio with the visuals perfectly in order for it to look realistic.Final cut pro allows you to cover up lip syncing mistakes and allowed our opening to match up correctly.
Overall i believe that for the first time of trying lip syncing it was done good.I also strongly feel that with more time and preperation we could of made a successful music video opening.However,this is a steppin stone for us as a team to be more prepared and watch the time carefully.I had to go home because i was ill and our other team member was late which put timing very tight.This is a lesson for our future music video which will be planned and organised in order to produce a successful music video.
