Rich Mix Media Trip

Today we had a school trip to Rich Mix in Bethnal Green for a presentation about our music videos. I learnt that even though we don't have hardly any money to use for our video we can still download free editing software and use the camera in a way that would still make a video effective. I also learnt that the video doesn't necessarily have to mean anything or tell a story it can be simple and still be good, this gave me a few more ideas on what we could do to our music video to perhaps make it easier to film but make it more effective. We met a producer who has worked with some famous aritsts such as Olly Murs, Willey and Rizzle Kicks and created the video for some of their songs, he spoke to us and answered some of our questions which gave us some valuable advice and ideas on what we could do.

This is an example of one of the video they made:

This lesson we looked up the times at which the sun sets, using these times we could plan when we need to be there and how long we need to shoot our time lapse for. After a discussion about the time lapse, conidering we only have 90 minutes of tape we need to shoot 2 minutes of footage then leave 5 minutes and repeat.

Today's lesson Sarah wasn't in so me and Mike finished the shooting risk assessment task in which we looked at all the potential risks involved when filming our video and how we would reduce the risk level. It also included other bits we had to fill in like locations, protective clothing, nearest 24 hour hospital, nearest telephone etc. Once we completed this task when then started on the the Preliminary Shooting Schedule.

This lesson I managed to finish off the questionnaire in which we are going to send off to a range of different people and then use the feedback to make any adjustments to our music video. As well as this Sarah finished off the voice over for the storyboard. Mike started on the presenation for the music genre in which we are going to try and finish by next lesson.
