Preliminary

The task to behing the music video coursework is to recreate a section of a professional video, with it replicating all the shots and timings used. 

Above is our song my group and i have decided to replicate for our preliminary material, we all chose  to copy the first 50 or so seconds. The reason for choosing this song, was due to the fact it is a very well known, upbeat, popular song, making the lyrics easy to learn, as we only had a short time to create them. in addition to this, we found that having multiple settings and different camera angles in our prelim would have been useful, as for our main task, we plan to use these techniques and with this we was able to experiment with multiple lighting and movements within the scenes. Within the music video, personally i loved how the main protagonist does not lip sync entirely to the song, with their being sections where actions were involved, distracting him from the lip syncing (yawning and drinking the mouth wash), giving the video a different feel, as it does not come across so serious. Something that would be interesting for our final product.
