Keep Grow Change Task

I really enjoyed the music video process as I thought it was a really fun, interesting and challenging experience and way to introduce us to the A2 course. Music is a love of mine and due to the project being based on music I felt that I was able to feel more creatively engaged with the project, and enjoy it more.
With my group we decided to create our music video to the song Someone Like You by Adele out of the 6 choices. We chose this track as we had thought up an idea that we decided worked the best both with the creative and technical side of the project and expectations within it. The Adele track was used as we felt that our creative of idea of telling a story through the video would be more engaging to the audience and suitable for the type of song. We also felt that we could achieve the shots we needed more successfully and realistically for the Adele track using the college grounds than the other song choices.
The filming of the video was fun and well organised. We got all of the shots we needed in the small time scale that we had by us being organised. The quality of the majority of the shots was fairly good also. Unfortunately some of the shots were unusable to minor mistakes due to rushing as there was not much time left. We also had suitable locations planned and props we needed at the ready as a positive.
Editing was fairly successful as we managed to (just!) complete our video in time. The cuts used and lip synching quality was good and looked very effective.
I did however feel that teamwork was a slight downfall within the group in terms of editing and some filming. I felt that some of the team including me did not get enough chance to do the editing/filming and practice the skills. This was also partly due to the time scale that we had. On that note I would say that the music video process went successfully and was an interesting and exciting experience, but more planning was needed in order to organise everything and make sure that there were no problems/failures along the way.
