The purpose of us doing the preliminary task was to gain some experience of how to make a music video on a basic level. This includes learning how to lip sync correctly as well as make the pace of the video work in time with the tempo of the music. We tried to go down the comedic route on the prelim video in order to keep the audience engaged during the video. This was shown by the props and camera shot e.g. the toy guitar and zoom on the characters facial expressions.
Now that we have a basic knowledge of how to use the editing techniques to make an effective music video, we could now refine them when making our actual music video to make it even better. The costumes that were used in the prelim were not thought through very well as we were recording the prelim in school so therefore we just used the costumes we were already in - school uniform.
Codes and conventions of our prelim
Lip Syncing
Our first experience of lip syncing was accurate. It seemed to line up well, if we apply the same technique that we used in our preliminary to our actual music video it should turn out to be successful. When recording we have the song on in the background but in the editing process we completely remove the sound, then we just have to line up the soundtrack to the video and it should all fit in.
Artist Appearance
The artists that was singing in the video was on show a lot for the audience as well as the guitar player. This shows the audience that the artists are appearing so therefore this convention of a music video is shown in our prelim.
Narrative
The narrative in our prelim isn't exactly apparent. Instead it is more of a performance with the singer and the guitar player just performing in various settings. With the chosen genre for the prelim we felt more of a performance rather than a narrative was appropriate.
Cameo
A cameo is when the artist is in the video, however, they are not performing for the audience. We have chosen to go against this by having the artists perform for the audience by singing and playing the instruments in the video.
Costume
We did not have access to costumes for a prelim, we were in our school uniforms. We felt the prelim was more about learning how to film and edit rather than create a good setting and mise en scene. This should change with our final product as we will film this in our own time and therefore allows us to pick our costumes for the music video we actually create.
