Construction - First draft music video and evaluation



 Here is my first edit of my music video. The equipment used in this task was a Nikon D3500 camera with a dolly to try to create smooth moving. The camera settings were on Auto to make sure the exposure stayed okay due to the light changing outside- the ISO was set to 200. 
I found quite a few problems when filming my video. For Example, half of my actors pulled out the day before filming, leaving me with only three people. This meant that I could not film half of my scenes as I was meant to do a party scene. 
The final video could have improved more if we had higher quality equipment. For example, due to filming in a bedroom with carpet, the dolly was getting caught and wasn’t running smoothly. If we had a Steady Cam, the clips wouldn't have been so shaky.
I had already figured out most of the angles when drawing my storyboard. So, once I had set up my set with props, lighting and speakers etc I just had to figure out if they are good angles and shots.
One thing I would change about my video is the editing. Due to not being to best at editing, some of my clips don’t smoothly run into each other. One positive about my transitions is the dipping to black to show the video going into a black and white flashback and then dipping bac to white as if the main character is finished thinking back on the memory. 
I also like how the video has many cases of direct mode of addresses in which the main character is looking into the camera and lip-syncing. This looked really effective in the video as it creates a link with the audience as if they are really there. This can be seen at 0.12. I also had a variety of shots showing extreme close ups, full shots, mid shots and wide shots.
I went to to edit my video in Adobe Premiere Pro. To do this I places all of my clips into the media box, to establish which clips are good the use. Many clips had the be cut down a bit to get rid of the start or the break down a long video etc to pick out a good point. I then step by step created the video by going in the order of the storyboard. I then created transitions of fading between each clip. In some clips I had to edit the colour or the curves etc to make the exposure better or make the brightness better.
One thing i could have done better on my editing was creating better title and credits pages.
One good thing about my video is that I liked how I was able to slow certain bits down in order to add different effects.
