So Cool Video

Overall I believe that our music video has been successful. The range of shots and camera angles we used i feel mirrors the amount and styles used in conventional, professional videos. We tried to follow the same genre and techniques for example only using straight cuts and cutting on the beat of the music. In our video we included a slight narrative with artistic shots but decided to go for a more live performance oriented video. We did this because it was what our audience wanted when we gave out the questionnaire. To hide the fact that we were filming in a school drama studio we decided to stick magazine cuttings on the wall behind where the band were playing this also made it look professional. For the artistic shots of the body writing we laid her on a white blanket to hide the carpet and the covered her with a black blanket to give the allusion that she was naked. A weakness of our video was that because we didn’t have much narrative it seemed that the video repeated itself, to over come this we took a minute section out of the music using 'Garage Band' so that we didn’t need to try and fill the full length song with repetitive footage. We did cut the song but only by an amount which didn’t make the song to short. To compliment the video we created a magazine advert and digipak. We used images that we took and edited ourselves. Both i feel reflect the bands image and style. Overall I feel that the filming, editing and advertising material went well and we have created a good music video for the genre of music and style of band.
