PRODUCTION: Skills Development

In my first year of media in AS, i was very much an amateur with what was going on and at the rapid speed that we had to get things done.

In the thriller, the cameras were allowed to be static, which made everything much more easier as you did not have to worry about getting the movement right, however by abiding to the laws of the music video, we had to make sure our camera was moving, but not only moving, moving with precision and meaning. 

The tripod was probably used only a few times throughout the course of the music video, the fig rig was our best friend. 

However, in my thriller in AS, we was cross cutting between two scenes, this helped me develop skills to use in my music video. As music videos can have a 'disjuncture' genre to it, where nothing really makes sense so you can crosscut between many shots. This helped us incorporate different shot types and make sure we included as many as we could so our video was creative and attractive, ensuring the audience did not get bored.
