My role in the preliminary task progressing into the main task

Prior to the main project we were set a task of putting together a short music video to a song with a clear beat, so that we could get to grips with cutting to the beat. Out of the four song options we chose 'This Land is Mine' by Dido.


My role in this task was the editor, so that's why I chose to have the technical role in the main task. I really enjoyed this role, it was great to see the whole project coming together to make a final piece. I also learnt a lot about the software which I was using (Abobe Premier), this built up my confidence in creating the final piece and enabled me to feel able enough to take it on for the main task.


Because I was featured in the video, this restricted my knowledge of the camera. To overcome this, I plan to take out a camera before filming day and get accustomed with it- finding out where everything is and take a few test shots.


One of the main things I learnt was the importance of lip-sinking and how to edit this into the production. The main part of the production will be performance and it will be very important to lip-sink Wolfie's voice with the visuals, but I feel confident that I will be able to do that. I also learnt how to use photoshop and put together the album cover and poster to accompany the production. 


The preliminary task composed of a narrative and a performance. I thought this composition really complimented each other, because it gave an extra dimension to the meaning of the video and I felt that it meant that the audience were entertained more and it kept their attention.  Due to these reasons, we have decided to use this structure in the main production.
