This is my preliminary music video task the song "History" by One Direction. My original plan was to do "Wannabe" from the Spice Girls but I decided against it because this song had more editing whereas Wannabe is one whole take which would be difficult for me, as I've just started learning about music videos. History also doesn't use too much lip syncing so I was able to ease myself into it. Doing this prelim task definitely opened my eyes to how difficult shooting a music video could be and it got me thinking more deeply about how I want my actual music video to be. I learnt that while miming to the song, 'tis better to sing along and cut the sound out in the editing process. This makes the lip syncing look vastly more realistic. The costumes and location for this video were not spot on or more or less the same than the original but I'll definitely have more appropriate costumes and settings in my own video.
We're showing our prelims to the class tomorrow and I'm quite excited to get some feedback that I can analyse and make sure that my actual video is as best as it can be right from the get go.
