We did a small task creating a music video for the well known song from Disney's 'Frozen' movie called 'Let It Go'. We chose the acoustic version below as we prefered the sound of it and had a better idea of a possible music video for it.
Here is our version:
Creating this short music video gave us a real good feel for the real thing as we learnt what improvements would have made it better.
- For the real thing we would need a larger range of shot types to keep the video interesting and possible let the viewer see more details. As we mostly just filmed in mid-shot the video is quite bland. I should use shout types such as close ups, long shots, side shots etc. next time.
- I also plan to use a range of settings in our actual video to express the song better and get the right mood, the green screen is a bit too happy for the mood of the song which gave us a sad heartbreak feel.
- I learnt that if the green screen is going to be used it has to be lighten up quite bight in order to get the full effect. For the real video we plan to avoid the green screen as it can also look quite flat and long shots can't be recorded using the green screen as the floor will show.
- I learnt to use the important features on final cut pro to use for the actual music video such as cutting clips, adjusting sound, applying transitions and adjusting speed of a clip which are all going to be useful for the final product.
- I found that the lip-syncing part of making a music video is the most difficult part to match to the track and what really helped my group was having the song in the background of the clip otherwise it is hard to tell which part is being lip synced.
- I learnt that for best lip-syncing results is if the song is rehearsed a few times so that the person gets the right expressions or the music video will look off.
