'Preliminary exercise learner response

  1) Type up your teacher's feedback   in full  plus a summary of the comments you received from other students in the class. MEARAJ, Marwa -Lots to credit here – the black and white works perfectly and the initial lip synching to the diary is brilliant. There is the basis for an excellent video here.   - Opening shot has bins very prominent! The black and white does hide it a little but maybe cut in slightly later? -The biggest issue is that editing effectively stops once the diary shot begins – that must be on screen for almost 30 seconds? A music video (even for a slow song) still needs to maintain a sense of pace or movement. -You will need another scene / location / performance element for the full video.  -Needed brand identity of your artist in there – that was part of the brief for the preliminary exercise.   -WWW: -Love the match on action -Nice monochrome -Good angles -Good colour scheme -Good use of zoom on shoe sponsorship -Interesting concept -Good lip syncing  -EBI: -

Make  bullet-point notes  on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing and mise-en-scene. -Through The Rain- Mariah Carey: The music video's colour scheme is grey and dull, which I will be using in my own music video to create a sad and empty feeling as that is what the point of my music video is. There are many closeups in the video to show the emotions on the actors and singers face. Toward the end the colour scheme of grey changes to a brighter one the show how far they have come the the pure happiness they feel. -Someone like you- Adele: The setting in the music video is always empty to create a meaning that she feels alone in the world with no one to comfort her. There is a variety of different type of shots to create different meani
