Post 4: How do you think your prelim experiences will impact on your approach to next term's music video coursework?

Our call sheet played a significant
part int he shoot day.

This prelim experience has helped me in a variety of ways, including:

- realising that I will need to be very decisive and communicate well with other members of my group in all stages of our music video for our project to be successful.
- how different shooting a music video would be as opposed to shooting a short film opening so this experience really opened my eyes and helped me understand how to edit a music video.
- this experience has also helped me realise the importance of time and sticking to a schedule.

 I am very excited to create my own video as I think I'll be able to be really experimental and creative.

Pre-production:

- We must chose our genre and consequently our intended style of our music video in order to make it suit our music choice.
- Our location must also be practical but suitable.

Our set in the Seward Studio.

- We must think carefully about who we would cast as our main actors and possibly have to have auditions.
- Planning and scheduling is essential and I would have to plan the shoot schedule and create a call sheet.

A list of our set-ups.

Production:

- It is very important to be punctual and arrive on time and I hope that the call sheet will allow our crew and cast to know their times. 

- Although I would like to have a very professional atmosphere one thing that I really enjoyed and would like to have on my own shoot day would be a supportive, encouraging crew who will cheer on our actors.

I performed.

- For our shoot day we had a variety of crew members who all worked together to help one another and whenever I had some free time I would try to help out by cable-bashing for our camera man or asking our time-keeper about the schedule.

Post-production:

- I would dedicate more of my time to editing and follow our edit schedule a lot more strictly.

- I'll also account for different members of my groups strengths and weaknesses so we work together efficiently. 

- Allow myself enough time to be really creative with the visual effects, for example the flashes and horizontal flips. 

Below is a short time-lapse video of our shoot day.
