First Preliminary Task Evaluation

After everyone had finished there music videos we came together as a class and were told we were going to all evaluate eachothers finished pieces. As a whole i think that i video went over well with the class, they all seemed to enjoy it except for some shoddy camera work at the beginning by yours truly, the dance me, matt and kelsey danced at the end seemed to be a highlight for everyone except me because well i'm dancing.

I think what my group did particulaly well was using the mise en scene Matthew's outfit with the waistcoat and bowler hat etc. really gave the impression of the older times, it was important to give this impression because this is a very old song and a classic that everyone would have heard of, i think the rain and black and white effects we used were also instrumental in adding to the mise en scene of the entire piece and really made the viewer feel like they were almost in older times.

I would also like to believe that our attempts to relate the lyrics to the visuals were very successful because the song is called Raindrops keep falling on my head, and we use rain effects throughout the video and an umbrella is used throughout.

I learned alot from this experiance mainly about different filming techniques and different ways of using the camera for example to make good use of the zoom system to cut out shaking camera's whilst moving, and i also learned about the any different things that the movie maker on the mac's can do for example adding rain effects and slowing parts of the video down.

Overall i think this project was a success!
