In our media lesson today we got into groups in order to practise setting up and filming a variety of shots from different angles, this is to prepare us for our actual music video as we will be in situations were guidance will not be available therefore we must learn some key skills as we will be independent a lot of the time when filming our music video. Me and another member of my group for this task participated in creating a copycat of the classic Elton John and Bernie Taupin duet called 'Don't go breaking my heart' in order to practise our use of camera, lip-syncing and stage performance.
We filmed this duet from four different angles, this is so that when it comes to the editing stage we can pick little sections from the different angles which look the most effective. This is good practise as we will be doing the same for our coursework music video so this is very helpful as it gives us ideas on which angles could look good for certain events and which ones wouldn't. The performance aspect seem to have been the most challenging part whilst doing this task as the fear of others watching and remembering the lyrics more difficult than it seems because of the pressure. However after a one or two practise takes I found that my confidence seem to have risen as I realised that I was taking it too seriously, the more I relaxed the better my lip-syncing was. This should be the same case with our music video as after a few takes the intensity in pressure should decrease as it will become more of laugh and an enjoyable task when taken less seriously and focused on producing a good music video.
