For our preliminary task we spent a day at Longbenton CLC . The task consisted of planning, story boarding, filming and editing.
The day at the CLC was spent videoing because we had already planned what we were going to film. The facilities at the CLC allowed us to adopt new filming techniques as well as being able to learn more about editing a film in the software Adobe Premier - the software we will be using for the main video project.
This video was done by Me (Euan) and Jordan. The main aim of the video was to gain knowledge and understanding about shooting a music video. The song our class chose was 'Shine' by Take That. The performance part of our video was filmed at the CLC on a green screen and then later edited on the computer at school. The best thing about this project would defiantly be the editing, Jordan and I spend lots of time on this trying out new techniques and see what worked well and what didn’t. Also we ran out of footage so we will make sure that we have too much footage rather than too little. What we would need to improve on for the main video project would be to have more confidence when singing because it doesn’t matter what it sounds like. However this task did allow us to see the amount of planning and time it takes to put together a good video.
