Evaluation - Don't Go Breaking My Heart

• What have you learnt about filming music videos?

I have learnt that it isn't that easy to be able to film a music video in just one complete shot because there may be some small things that happen during the filming which will need to be redone again. You also need to film in at least 3 or 4 different shots so that we can cover all of the bits that we don't want with a different shot.

• What have you learnt about filming duets?

Filming duets can be a bit difficult to film because you have to make sure that both of the people who are in the video do not make mistakes. But this is also why they film the video with different shots so that the sections that they don't like they can edit it when they have filmed all of the shots that they want.

• Describe the process of editing

The process of editing is to be able to capture all of the footage that we recorded of the music video. Once all of the footage was uploaded onto the computer we then had to sort through it and layer it so that we could decide which parts that we want. While editing we needed to layer some parts of the music to make sure that the video synced with the film footage of me and Connor singing along to the song. After a while it will then look like me and Connor are singing in sync with the song.

• What have you learnt about editing music videos?

I have learnt that in order to edit music videos it isn't overly that difficult because all of the layers of the video and the song have been split into layers so it is simply the matter of selecting the layer that you want to put the video footage and where you want it to cut to the next shot. This has been used before when we were making our previous video 'Waking Up' where we alternated between different shots such as POV, Close up, Long shot etc; As it helps to give the audience another perspective.

• In what ways could you improve the filming/editing of the sequence?

I cannot really think of a way that we could improve the video as i think that it is as good we we could possibly make it. But that is just my perspective, any outside criticism would maybe point out some of the flaws in the video that i cant see for myself.
