Britney Spears Preliminary Task

Evaluation:
I was in a group with seven people. This was a nice amount of people in the group as everyone had something to do therefore things were done quicker and on time. We all worked well as a group and knew what it was that we needed to complete.
Firstly we all sat down and planned out each shot and the timings. This helped us a lot when it came to filming as we had it all written down in front of us. However the plan wasn't as specific as it could of been and this caused us to struggle when we came to the shots of us dancing. This meant that we had to keep referring back to the video on YouTube which became a pain.
We managed our time well when it came to filming.Everyone took part in the video and everyone had a turn at filming. This was nice as everyone got to experience different jobs and made it more exciting. We easily found locations to shoot as we was in a school, which is where Britney's video is set also. We used various different corridors and classrooms which relatively resembled the video. We started off with bringing in costumes for example the wig and top but as the video progressed sadly we kept forgetting to bring it in. This is something that I would definitely hope to make consistent throughout the video if I completed this task again. We struggled a lot with finding people to take part although we was a large group of seven. Within the video around four or five dancers are seen in the background along with Britney. We wanted to make it as similar as possible but we couldn't find may volunteers who wasn't busy with their own work to take part. This may be something that we can not over come as we can not disrupt other students.
We planned out how many lessons we had before the deadline and quickly realised that we would not have enough filming time therefore we had to use a few of our frees which overlapped with other to complete the task.
When it came to editing the video, I found this to some extent simple. The class had all used the software for AS Media therefore we was all aware on how to use Adobe Premiere Pro. I felt very comfortable with editing so I volunteered to take charge of it seeing as I did not appear as much in the video as other people. It was very fiddly to cut all the shots and arrange them into order ensuring that they fit the specific shot time but in the end I managed to do it as close as I could possibly get it.
I have learnt from this task a lot and I feel that it has made me realise how much hard work I will need to put in to certify that my music video is of a high standard. I will need to make certain that I am extremely organised and prepared. The time scale will be much larger meaning that I can take multiple shots so ensure that it is perfect.
