The workshop day was extremely fun. It was fast, energetic and we all had a lot of laughs filming it. Some of the best bits were the ones that people put the most into. Whenever the band actors were giving it their all, everyone seemed to be more into it, and seemed to work off their buzz, which was really nice to see.
In particular, Michael's crowd surfing shots were very fun to do, especially saying we didn't have enough people as in the actual video so we had to work around this to get the same visual effect that this shot gives. The whole crowd routine shots were also very fun to film. Everybody was working together, and the final output looked amazing!
2. What did you learn from participating in the workshop?
Despite it being a very fun day, and quite laid back, it was always known that their was authority from Jake and Jazzy. Everyone wanted to have fun, and I think they did, but we all learnt that what the Directors say is final, and you have to listen to what they are asking, or telling, you to do.
3. Are you pleased with the footage and your edit? Is it how you expected it to look?
The footage that we got was fantastic. The performance from all the band members, especially Charley and Michael, really helped bring the whole sequence together, and gave it a true performance feeling when watching it. The final look of the sequence is how I imagined it to look like, as we already had an idea of what it would look like due to us 'copying' and already existant music video. Saying this, it was nice to have a little bit of creativity and it was nice to see how well the lighting from our shoot worked out and was conveyed on the camera.
4. How do you think your workshop experiences will impact on your approach to next term's music video coursework?
Next term, I know that we will have to be really convincing in our role, as one slip up really distracts from the experience of the music video, and reminds the viewer that they are watching a lip sync, and not someone actually singing. Saying this, we now all know that performance is everything. Everything you put into the performance you will get out in the output. The final product will be a sign of how into the project we get.
