Reflection:
We had to re shoot several key scenes due to lighting issues and also had to shoot base tracks.
The lights would either flicker or run out of juice, meaning that we had to be efficient with our lighting and timing. The first base track failed due to it being my first time on camera in a public place and attempting to sync very similar stanzas of lyrics.
However second time round, confidence was high and lyrics were perfect, this made me look professional and not like a cardboard box. We also forgot SD cards while going to film during rush hour, this deducted us not only valuable time in cold weather but the weathers lighting itself, meaning we had to sacrifice a scene or two so that we could ensure our main scenes were shot well.

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.

Process of Editing till the Final Deadline
When editing today our initial idea was to accomplish a layered clip of three images at once in which we ran into complications. The video will explain further.
Feedback from our Rough Cut Video
We hadn't difficulties meeting our deadline for the rough cut to be viewed however two days later we finished our rough cut and was able to hear feedback from our teacher. Heres briefly what she explained we needed to do to get our music video intact and have that professional look...
We also have to take out some scenes because they either broke the 180 degree rule or the camera shots was too shaky to use. Our teacher also stressed we fixed the fast and slow motion at the beginning of our video as it didn't really make much sense.
