2. TECHNICAL
Due to not being able to use the college’s equipment, I had to
film on my phone, which is not as good as an actual camera,
but I think I turned out good considering the circumstances.
I used a clip on wide angle and macro lens to create an ‘indie’
vibe to the video instead of using the standard camera. I
think by using different lenses for different parts in the music
video gives it a bit of diversity, but still keeps the same theme
and vibe throughout the video.

3. LOGISTICAL
The locations i used worked perfectly fine, as they were all
public access so I had to time it where no members of the
public were in the shots used. I had one issue with the
weather as we were filming outside, however to overcome
this I changed the filming schedules so i filmed all the shots
inside first and then once the rain held up we went outside to
film them.

4. PERSONNEL
My cast and crew were really helpful with supporting me with
advice on what to film and when to film it. Luckily for me,
they were free most of the time so it wasn’t a case of
scrambling for time on when to film. As I only used one cast
member I could get the shots of her one day, and then go off
on my own and get the shots where she’s not in it, which is
very good as I do not need to do as much planning on time
management as other people.

5. PLANNING
My planning was very useful as a had a specific image on
what I wanted the video to look like, which was useful in the
sense that if I could transfer my thoughts into actual filming,
however I did have a mental block for a period of time as I
couldn’t think how to make it into a music video.
My plan was in detail on where and what to film, so it was
useful when it came to filming and directing the cast member
on what to do. I think I could’ve done a more in-depth plan so
it was even easier once I figured out how to film the video.

6. EDITING :
WHAT WENT WELL
[3 EXAMPLES]
• I managed to learn how to do the basics of editing in a
short period of time as I was late to the course, so picking
it up quickly really helped me in getting the music video
edited on time.
• I managed to get my video finished whilst only having a
limited amount of time, and to a good standard without
using too much stock footage.

7. EDITING :
WHAT PROBLEMS DID YOU HAVE?
[3 EXAMPLES]
During the process of importing my
clips into the software they would
sometimes delete themselves, so I
could only import clips that were not
too big otherwise it would delete itself.
Getting enough footage to be able to fill
at least 2 minutes was a struggle as I
had to film during a tight schedule, so
not filming enough was an issue for me.
At the bottom where all the clips are you
can see there are a lot of small clips
complied together as I struggled to get
enough.
Another problem I had was when I was
editing the clip down to the desired
length it would not do it properly, so I
figured out what I was doing wrong
towards the end of editing.

8. EDITING :
NEXT STEPS…
What are the main things you’ve learned from this project?
Pick a minimum of 5 to discuss…
• Take time when editing – do not rush to get it done in time.
• Don’t over-do it with effects and transitions as it can
sometimes ruin it.
• Film more clips than you need as it is better to have
enough because you can pick and choose instead of just
being stuck with certain clips.
• Get other people to watch it and get their advice as others
see things to improve on that you would not.
• You cannot rely on people so therefore you always need a
backup plan if everything falls through.
