Preliminary exercise learner response

1) Type up your teacher's feedback in full plus a summary of the comments you received from other students in the class.

• Loads to credit here – the second half in particular has some brilliant moments. The ‘golden hour’ sunshine and timing/lighting is beautiful – did you try a bit of slow motion in there too? 

• Opening shot/performance element is largely well-synched but not sure on framing and location. Can you re-shoot in a rehearsal studio? Could you get a band behind you? This could make a real difference. 

• Footwear shot is great! I would cross-cut between the two sections though?

• Think about how to end up with the 3 minutes – I wonder if you do need the opening? 

• Needed brand identity of your artist in there – that was part of the brief for the preliminary exercise.

2) Using a combination of your own reflection on the preliminary exercise and the feedback you were given, write three WWW bullet points and three EBI bullet points for your work.

WWW: I had created a music video extract that included two locations and had a narrative, while the colour grading also created a really good feel to the video

EBI: Need a better location, a bit choppy and slow for some of the shots, colour grading dose'nt match the performance element at the start

3) How effectively did you complete the objective you laid out in your mini preliminary exercise statement of intent?

I did but I missed out on the brand identity for my artist but completed it on time.

4) What have you learned from the preliminary exercise that will help you in the actual coursework project?

I need to plan my filming better and have a more suited location for my narrative aspect

5) Now you have completed the preliminary exercise, will you change anything about your actual coursework video plan? This could include your concept, cast/actors or technical elements such as mise-en-scene, camerawork or editing.

I think i could definitely improve on my music video and will change a few things as I did not film exactly what I wanted to do and not exactly following my intent and treatment so I will attempt to do so for the next exercise and rough cut.

Print brief research and planning

Brief Print You should create  four pages from a music magazine  – specifically: a  front cover  featuring the artist/band promoted in Task One a  two-page interview  with the artist/band one page with  content relevant to the magazine  and the target audience. The magazine targets a  mainstream music audience . The front cover and interview can use some images from the same photoshoot but other original images should also be used that offer some visual variety. The interview should be used to promote the tour and the music track. It should also reinforce the brand image of the artist/band and integrate some reference to the footwear manufacturers who are sponsoring the band/artist. What do you need to produce? 1) The front page (A4 portrait) for a new, original music magazine aimed at a mainstream audience that you have created: Title and masthead - DY (Discordant Youth) Selling line (slogan) - ( Rising star/Revolutionising what it means to ...

Rough draft feedback

Estimated current grade: C   Comments & feedback:   There are some very nice moments here – the artist branding is excellent (in fact, you should make more of it!) and the narrative/performance crossover basically works. Some of the performance shots are really good and the simple narrative is satisfying. The challenge now is to look over the structure of the three minutes and also think about whether it’s worth shooting or re-shooting any of the sections. You have a shot of the Converse shoes (very briefly) but I wonder if that element of the brief is something you could make more of? Is there any way you could tie it into the narrative at all? The performance element – the close-ups and moving camera are good but the wide shot with the backdrop not covering the whole shot. Deliberate?  Lip syncing (and guitar syncing) is not quite on it – is that a performance or editing thing? This wil...
