Conclusion For Music Video

How well did you work in a group?
Above is the music video we created to Megan Nicole’s Medley mashup. In this video we all had a song which we had separate parts too. Personally, I think we tried to work well together for the first time together as me and Ayesha didn’t know the other two people in our group were. However, we did get along at times and we worked together making this music video and helping one and other out was great and helpful. Before editing the video, in pre production we had a lot of group discussions and agreed with one another.  We helped each other by editing our each parts and putting them together also putting our idea's together on the video we all participated in. Although at times there weren't much communication as the group was split between two people. I think we managed to do well with the short time we had to put everything together because there were times when the schedule didn’t go according to the times we decided we'd shoot. I then decided to drop Media which I know regret however, we managed get it done in time. I didn’t edit my bit of the music video however, Ayesha did it for me.  

What difficulties did you have to face in the production of the video?
At times the camera we were using did not work proplerly or did not recongise the card for the camera and not everyone in the group would communicate with each other for example if someone was stuck or struggling they wouldn't speak up or ask any of the other team members to help. I think the problem was that the group had never communicated with each other before and it took time to settle in and start helping each other.  In the end we managed to get to know one and other and put our differnces aside and actually get on together and complete the video. 

How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
We used a variety of different camera shots and angles which real media products have. We also used choreography and edited our music videos using diffrernt effects. We used images in the background of some parts of the video so reflect the lyrics of the song which we used.

Peer Assessment - Feedback

Group 1

Tanya & Sam's Group. There was clear speaking and presenting and they also allowed the audience to contribute. The body language was appropriate and made the presentation interesting as we could see the levels of interest of Tanya and Sam which will reflect on the audeince. The presentation had all of the vital information and was full of bright colours which kept us interesting. The improvements that could have been is that they should have included more media things for example video and images.

Group 2

Haris, Kashif and Munashe presentation was interesting, as they explained the main features, for example the cast crew. But their presentation lacked media elements to help visualise the song and there was not enough information which didn't give enough information on their production. They answered the feed back well, and explain the different aspects and purposed for their music video.

Group 3
Shuab, Marian and Mohammed's presentation was clear and understandable as they included the appropriate information and media to help visualise the music video. They also included all of the aspects and concepts to help see how their music video will be and what effect they will have.


Group 4
Josh, Neepa & Zak's presentation was effective and contained the appropriate information. the spokesperson presented the information well and answered the feedback questions well.
