Liam White and Daniel Oehme-Steer created a music video based on someone getting injured while biking, gaining strength back, and doing the jump again. Dan filmed the fitness parts while Matt Holley filmed the skate park clips. They used props like tennis balls and fitness equipment found in the school. They worked well as a small team of two and had the same vision, though one bike broke. They learned filming angles and timing from watching other music videos. The editing was rushed but they were pleased to finish on deadline. Working in a small group gave them more control over the project.
2. We originally came up with the concept of our music
video after being inspired by the ‘Bliss n Esso – My
life’ music video. We watch a lot of BMX and
Mountain Bike edits on YouTube which has helped
us decide to base the music video off someone who
has fallen off there bike and hurts themselves quite
badly, then gaining back strength to then later do
the jump again. Also amongst that there are people
not landing things and hurting them self’s quite bad.
How you came up with your idea?
3. Dan done a lot of the filming for the getting fit part but
Matt Holley done the filming for the skate park clips.
We didn’t use many props only the ones we could find
in the school hall, which included props such as a
tennis ball and different fitness exercises we found
around the gym.
Who did what during filming? (who was the director, who was
in charge of props, who sorted the equipment, who took
photos etc)
4. How did you get on as a team?
We got on
well as a
team
because it
was only 2
of us and we
both had
same ideas
on what we
wanted our
music video
to look like.
We had some problems with filming
the main bit because one of our
bikes broke and we couldn’t fix it in
time for our deadline.
5. how did this help you when you were
filming?
We watched a lot of music videos to see what
other people had done, and this helped a lot
with angles for filming and how to time the clips
with the music it’s self.
6. Compare key scenes from your storyboards to screen
shots from (one) of your final videos – how do they
compare? Did you achieve what you planned
The original idea of the shot was to get the rider (Dan) to be walking/riding into the
skate park, showing nerves and fear. I think that we showed this in our video really
well and overall I am pleased with the outcome of the video.
7. How did the editing go – did you learn
anything new?
The editing went very well, even though we were rushed with
editing due to not getting the shots and clips we had hoped
for. Also we learnt how to blank out swear words in our video
due to not finding a ‘clean’ version of the song, but in the end
we finished it by the deadline and we are pleased with that
we have achieved.
The editing went very good, we were rushed with editing
and a bit stuck at one point because we didn’t have all the
clips. But in the end we finished it by the deadline and it
was good.
8. Overall are you pleased with your group work and
videos?
Overall the video turned out better than expected
and was a lot easier working in a group of 2
because we had more control of what happened and
who was doing what where as if we had a larger
group we wouldn’t have got as much work done.
