Aob5 Evaluation

My ability to work in a team has improved a lot since I have started to work in a group, as a group it is a lot easier because certain people have different abilities and different skills so it was a not a problem to do and complete the work. For the group I could act, I could help direct the video. For the first fight scene I came up with the idea for the higher angle camera angle so it would look like the fight was caught on CCTV. My weakness would be camera work and editing. I did some of the camera work because I wasn’t needed in the particular scene. I had to do some of the camera work because  there was no one else to film and it was a opportunity to improve on my camera work skills. All the independent work will like helping and giving ideas for the music video,  doing the booking form and the recce shots.
The ability to meet the deadlines wasn’t too bad we could of done  a lot more work for the deadline. We worked well once e got started and did try to keep all the deadline up to date. We could of managed our time a lot better so we could of got a lot more filming and editing done and we did not really organise what we wanted to do as much as we should of because at times some of us would be ill or just not in for us to film or to plan the music video. Once we started to work together we got a lot more organized and a lot more communication cause we knew what we were doing and knew what needed to be done so there was not a problem in organizing what we needed to do to finish the music video.

Our Final product of the music was not  too bad we did well considering we didn’t have all our actors to work with. If we were to compare it to a professional’s music video some parts of our music video was done really well, but to professional standard our music video could do with a lot more work/ editing. I think we got all the clients needs in the production of our music video. We covered most of the genre characteristic in our video and we were able to use all we needed to use for the video such as free running/ parkour, fighting as cutting scenes to the beat and giving the music video narrative characteristics. In some was our music video was quite original because there are not many music video for this genre and since we adding fight scenes made it a bit less original but more unique, unique in the sence that we keep the narrative part of the video to the name of the song last one standing. I personally believe  we used the appropriate techniques in the making of our music video to the best of our ability  but if we work as well as we did at the end we could of done it a lot better. We have a few missing items from the final product due to lack of time we had to complete our entire idea for the music video and we didn’t have enough people who wanted to act in our music video so there isn’t every thing we wanted to include in the video, Such as there was suppose to be a bigger fight at the train station but due to lack of planning we couldn’t get enough people to do that scene with us. The overall quality of the material is good because for we had to show and what we had planned. Good that we were able to complete it but bad cause couldn’t include everything we wanted to add.
