Health and Safety

During a clip of our video we can clearly see eddie's character light a match!

Within the incorrectly compressed and therefore out of time video we see this happen at around 2:52. In order to comply with health and safety regulations the group ensured that the matches lit correctly and safely so not to cause burns injuries to the actor eddie during the shoot as a group we arranged that a bucked of water was close at hand should any think catch fire during the process of the filming.

Another health and safety matter which we addressed was through during the meal fight clearing and thoroughly drying the area where the food was thrown during the clip, however before we filmed the clip we ensured the noodles were dryer than average so to no leave major liquid upon the surface of the floor which could lead to slips/falls.

In order to ensure health and safety measures were taken within the fight scenes we ensure both actors had experience with stage fighting so that the fight would be staged and non contact which would therefore avoid any issues with injuries.

In order to be able to complete the project successfully and ensure that all aspects of our video were the best that they could be we carried our some primary research which asked our fellow peers outside of our media class to watch our music video and answer the following questions:

Class Feedback

This week in class we have spent a couple of lessons watching everyones Music Videos and trying to answer the questions on the sheet provided and asses and judge the rating we would give them and any improvements we believe that group in question should make. The Results of this feedback was a as follows:

Feedback Number 1:

• Good Miming all in sync.
• Good Editing
• Liked the Video
• Liked the Match Strike scene.
• Majority of shots very steady.
• A few zooms which should be sorted.
• Good variance of mise-en-scenes and camera angles.

Feedback Number 2:

• Good relevance to genre through camera angles
• Enjoyed story line and how this was linked to the song.
• Made a note of how we had edited clips to show darkness and contrast between the artists clips and the story.
• However they did pick ip on the random horse which made its way into the background of some shots though noted that this slight issues did not affect the music video as a whole but should be addressed.

Feedback Number 3:

• Enjoyed the story line though believe we could of extended and expanded upon what we had and explored into the story line more so to give the audience a better and clearer understanding of the situation.
• Good Lip Syncing
• Believed the fog scenes really worked well with the music video although the horse should be removed from the clip as he is rather random.
• Picked up on brightness and darkness contrast between artist and story line and liked the idea.

Feedback Number 4:

• Enjoyed the mise-en-ecene especially the fog
• Felt the story line matched the song.
• Liked the flashback effect at the end of the video
• Noted minor glitches such as random horse and slippers within certain clips.

Feed back Number 5:

• Could of extended and explored the storyline more
• Enjoyed the fighting within the abusive scene.
• Picked up on the random horse and that we should wither crop him out of the framing of the shot or re-film however by re-filming we may not have the same mise-en-scene ; fog.
• Maybe explore and think about the framing of shots within the Music Video

Overall common results show that the majority enjoyed the story line though feel that it related to the song so well we should of explored it more, practically everyone noted the horse and mentioned removing him from the clip whether this be cropping the clip or through having to re-film these clips.

Overall Most

They are mixed views, but they all seem to like the stroyline. But they need improvments to the music video.

Overcoming technical Issues

As mentioned the business encountered a few technical issues within the process of creating the music video. As mentioned we have now developed a compromise process when dealing with the situation of sharing the MAC with the other group, however due to the fact that we had missed many of our chances to edit and that even on the final days leading to our deadline we had encountered further disruptions due to the other group having the MAC. And therefore we were allowed to take the MAC home for the weekend in order to be able to complete the editing process in our own time and make up for the hours missed.

When it came to dead batteries with cameras and missing SD Cards we resolved this issue by arranging to back up our work and carry a spare SD Card but also that whenever the group took out a camera that we took a charger too. When it came to making up for lost time we carried out filming and editing within free time out of school sociable hours.
