Pete Fraser part 2

Pete Fraser part 2

Despite these rules generally only are useful to those doing A2 media studies, I found a few helpful and easy to relate to AS. These are a few things to consider when doing a music video, however many of these apply and can be useful for other things.

Equipment

• Test shots for effects
• Camera quirks
• Tripod (and 'shoe')

...Relating to equipment there are 2 questions you must ask yourself;

1. Have you experimented with editing?
2. Have you got the music and an audible source?

Shoot

• It is advised to shoot 10 times with a different set up
• Cutaways
• Experiment with lighting change
• Close ups (extremely important)
• Enthuse your performers
• Shoot more than you need (applies to many things in media)

Edit

• Synch up performances first
• Get whole picture rather than detail
• Cut & cut again
• Aim for a dynamic piece of work

Blog

• You must show your whole journey on your blog as evidence
• Research, Planning and Construction
• You must note your thought process, is it bad? Why?
