When we filmed our clips we decided to film more than we actually needed to make sure we had enough film to create our music video reconstruction. These are the full clips we used and cut down in to create our reconstruction.

The evaluation
Evaluation :
Location:
The good thing about our location is how realistic and
similar it looks to the real and original video. We thought that using the
college theatre would be useful as it has a projector that we could put the
image on to make it more similar to the video. We also had access to the spot
lights and different coloured lights to create the last sequence. It also gave
us enough space to fit all the props and cast in to create the shots we needed
to do.
The negative aspect of our location is that the theatre is
in high demand due to it being end of term and there being lots of productions
therefore the theatre is needed for them. It was difficult to find a time
during the college week when we would all be available as well as the theatre
and Andy the head of theatre production to help us with the lighting.
Props:
The use of the instruments created realism and made out
video look stronger. Even though these props were hard to get a hold of, we
improvised with these props to create different effects throughout our film.
For example we used the microphone for the female singer and for the main
singer, both at different times within the video. To create the video we used similar costumes
to the original video to create continuity.
Again the negative aspect of some of the props we used was
high demand. The music department was in the middle of final recordings for
their coursework so all microphones and most the guitars were in use. Another
negative aspect of the props were that we could not gain access to some such as
a drum kit in the long shot scenes to show similarity in the reconstruction.
Filming:
Filming:
Filming was really fun to do and it brought the full group
came together. Although at some points it was hard to decide shot types and
Mise-en-scene, the filming process was interesting and really enjoyable to do.
It gave the group an idea that it won’t be this easy when it comes to create
our own music video but it inspired us to create the best product that we can.
Another good thing about physically filming a music video is we all learnt
something new about filming, whether it’s how to use the video camera, how to frame
a shot or realising the sound distance.
A negative aspects of filming was it was difficult to find a
time that would suit everyone for filming due to some people living far away
from college and not being able to stay after to film or having prior engagements
and exams to filter in to the shooting schedule. Another negative aspect of
filming was trying to communicate with the group and Andy the theatre manager
to get the correct framing, lighting and sound due to lack of light in the
theatre and the actual size of it.
Editing:
A good thing about editing is the relief of having created
something that looks like the original video and to have done it to a decent
standard. We found the editing process quite easy to do and found it quite
enjoyable to use. A thing we have learnt about editing is to concentrate on the
length of the shot for editing, for example having 2-3 seconds either side of
how long we want the video to be. This would make it easier to edit when it
comes to our A2 music video.
A negative aspect of editing the music video was that we
signed in to one person’s account on a mac and we soon realised that we had to
go to that exact mac on that person’s account to do all of the editing
therefore we had to wait until that one person and that particular mac was free
for us to all have a chance at editing our reconstruction.

AS/A2 transition
As a group we decided to chose brief number 1
Create a promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options:
- A website homepage for the band
- A cover for its release as part of a digipak (CD/DVD package)
- A magazine advertisement for the digipak (CD/DVD package)
The transition task was to produce a reconstruction of a minute from an existing music video.
Our group decided to produce a reconstruction of the first minute of the official music video from
Passenger - let her go
