Our Music Video

The ACE company cover of the Harlem Shake 

For this music video project there were some problems that we faced and other things that we worked well at together. In my group was me, Alice and Emily. Our first idea for our music video was about two people who are in love and they go to a night club to get closer together however the people at the club keep pulling them apart. This video was for the song rhythm of the night by Bastille. The pre production for this was something that we all worked well with. It took a week to get it all done. The story boarding, risk assessments, forms ect. However when it came to filming we had a problem, it was a lot harder than we thought to get the idea what we had across to the audience so we quickly had to change the idea and the song within a week. It was when changed to herlm shake and the idea was to do a group of mates that are hanging out together at this yogot shop and the song starts. The group start dancing to the song and are having fun. After the song ends the group of mates leave. We found that some of the first lot of filming went well with the last lot and we linked them together to give the effect more people were there and dancing along to the song. We all brain stormed about the idea of the video and we all took part in the editing. On the first day we all took turns in controlling the camera same with the second day. With the pre production I did story boarding for the first idea then helped sorry boarding with the second idea. The treatment and proposal we all worked with together. We took our pre production work for the firs idea and just took out the main points and replaced them with points that matched our new idea. The things that could be improved are the planning of the idea and making sure we have done film testing so that if it doesn't work out again we have enough time to work things out and make a new idea with time to editing more then the little time we had left.
