Evaluation Task 2

For our second task we have to create a directors commentary version of our music video, and so here is a short bullet pointed script of what we are going to say:

Video was based around a live performance like at the jools holland show.

We originally had outdoor footage but the scenery cluttered the shot and it didn’t work.

We also originally wanted to create some sort of storyline with the video but without outdoor footage it wouldn’t have worked well.

We wanted to create a weird looking set to match with the song.

We started playing around with visual effects and felt that the fade ins and the kaleidoscope effects worked the best

Lip syncing was the No.1 Priority for us as that would give us the most marks and makes the video look professional.

We did have problems getting the lip sync right because our artist did start to sing one of the takes faster than the actual song, which obviously made it complicated to use the footage and some of the footage from this take was very useful and nice.

Keeping the video interesting was also important.

We also worked on making the editing look good as we had great footage if the editing wasn’t any good the good footage would have gone to waste so that was key as well.

Even though our performer sang a bit fast a few times his performance was still really strong and that is what is important. It is better to have a confident strong performance otherwise it will look terrible.

Here is our directors commentary version of the Video:
