Britney Spears recreation

1. Preliminary Task
Britney Spears – Baby one more time

2. Our task was to recreate a part of an iconic music video. We chose
Britney Spears - baby one more time because it was set in a school and
didn’t involve any props we couldn’t find nearby. We attempted to
recreate the shots one by one in chronological order.
Our Version The Original

3. We used Rebecca to play Brittney because she has blonde hair similar to the
original. We dressed her in a white shirt and braided her hair into the signature
pigtails Brittney wore in the video. We didn’t have a grey cardigan or fluffy
hairbands to put on her so we decided to continue without them.
Our Version The Original

4. Our Version The Original
When taking the different shots of the objects (The clock and the bell) we were not
able to control what they looked like as this is what we had available to us in
school. We were not able to wait until the clock had reached 3:00 so we took it
down and wound it to our desired time.

5. Our Version The Original
We could not find anybody that looked similar to the teacher in the music video
that was willing to participate in our version. Instead we used a classmate who was
available at the time. We were not able to recreate the natural lighting from the sun
that can be seen in this shot.

6. For the next shot we went to the nearest bell, 5 minutes before it was supposed to
ring. This is a slightly low angled shot of the bell as they are usually high up on the
wall. Again, the dramatic shadow was something we weren’t able to recreate as
we had no control over the lighting.
Our Version The Original

7. This shot shows all the students standing to leave the classroom. In is a low
angled shot. To recreate this we put the camera on the floor and tilted it up slightly
with a few books. Due to the layout of the classroom we could successfully
recreate the division in the rows we see in the original.
Our Version The Original

8. This shot was difficult to recreate as we could not achieve the high angle used
here with the tripod and equipment we had. The corridors in our school are not as
wide as those of the original school so we just had to make do with what we had.
This was the last shot we recreated from the original.
Our Version The Original

9. If we could do this task again we would plan the shots better. For
example for the last show which was high angled, I would have found a
high chair or. desk to place the tripod onto. For our actress’s costume I
would have found a grey cardigan.
This task has shown me how much detail I must use to plan my final
product and arrange the appropriate props and locations. I will have to
make a list as to not forget anything and draw up a storyboard to guide
the shots.
