Overview:
The goal our music video was to put
together a story to go along with a song. The song we picked was “Wonderwall”
by Oasis. We wanted to tell a story that people could connect to. Our film
showcases feelings of loneliness and rejection, which at one time or another
everyone has felt.
Process:
Pre Production:
The first step was to create a
production schedule. This gave us a clear idea of what all we had to do and
when we had to do it. Then we brainstormed about our story and created a
beginning middle and end. Before creating an official storyboard we created a
mood board. This helped set the tone of our video and get an idea of the
emotions we wanted to capture. After everyone had a pretty good idea of the
things we wanted to show we came up with a storyboard to help us film.
Production:
With a
fairly clear idea of our story we went out and filmed the video. It took about
two weeks to get all the shots we needed. The filming process was a little bit
rough at times but we were still able to gather the footage.
Post Production:
The editing
process was fun because our footage required us to get creative with the
editing and we all added some personal touches to our videos and they weren’t
all the same.
What I Learned:
Throughout
this project I learned a lot about collaboration. Our group didn’t always get
along the greatest but it was a great opportunity to learn. I also gained
knowledge of productivity and that planning is very important in order to work
efficiently.
My editing
skills improved a lot during postproduction of the video. I learned how to
maximize your footage and then also how to condense it. Choosing the most
important footage but also adding things to make it unique.
Future:
Next
project I will focus a lot more on time. Planning better and accounting for
some amount of error and delay will be a priority of mine. I will use the same
creativity and emotion while planning, as I think we did a good job. This
project was good for me because of how long term it was. I gained valuable
experience with extended work time and will make sure to use all the time I have
to better the film during my next project.
