Pitch Feedback






Question&Answer
"You guys said you were going to use a motorbike as a prop, who's riding it, where you getting it from and is the person going to be of the legal age to ride it?" - Our response: It's a prop, so no one will be riding the motorbike, it'll just be there for decoration/to set the scene. And as we said in the pitch, we know a guy named Michael, who's 20, that has a motorbike - he said he'll let us use it.
  • "It seems quite similar to the 'Day Ones - Manu Crooks' music video, how will you make it more unique. - Our response: The concept of our music video will be different, as both songs are about 2 completely different things. We use different/more locations, compared to that music video, so an office, block of flats, etc. And just as a little disclaimer, we already came up with the concept/props/locations way before we saw the Day Ones music video, but we wanted to showed it just as a visual representation of what we hope our music video to look like.

    Picked Genre


    Today my group and I (which consists of two other people- Abigail and Tre) decided to pick the genre Rap as we all had the most ideas for it and it was all a genre we had considered as we listen to it. We picked the song I Can by TK.

    Manu crooks- Day one

    -The main star needs to stand out so he will have a bold colour with on of his costumes when filming in the day time and when we are filming at night he will have a florescent item of clothing.

    Camera induction, filming & editing

    Today we had a task to film one minute of a lip sync music video which should include  a close up shot, mid shot and long shot. I was in  group of three, we decided to use the song Love Glory by SZA as this is a R&B and we all has this genre of music as an option for our music video. So in order to carry this task out we had to have a induction on using a Canon camera where we learnt how to change the depth of field, focus our camera, white temperature which puts a filter over the camera depending on the lighting for example if you was filming outside and the sky was clear so the lighting would be a bit blue the camera would put a orange tint.














    We used premiere pro cc to edit our music videos and during the process we didnt have enough variety of videos e.g different locations or different ideas so we had to use every single clip and anything with scenery we used multiple times as it looked bad having just a straight clip of lip synching. When we added it in we slowed down the motion of it so pass time. Fortunately we did get a deep field of focus with a lot of our clips.

    This time round with editing we wanted to put the name of the song in the video so we had to cut it in. It took many attempts and tries as it was our first time but eventually we got there.
