For our preliminary exercise we had to re make the Busted video "what i go to school for". Here is how the orginal is...
We were only asked to make the first 1 minute and 14 seconds of it.
As a class we sat down and decided who would play who in our short music video.
We decided that Josh would play Charlie (because of the eye brows) Jack would play Matt and Dan would play James. We did think about switching the roles so that the girls were the main character and were singing the song about a Mr Mccanzie, but we thought that this would look silly with the girls with having man voices, so we stuck to the original.
We also needed a Mrs McCanzie, a "ugly" girl to turn around and smile at James, two girls to walk past and a girl to focus the attention on when the group was dancing.
Becky was nominated to play the teacher role, as she looked the most teacher like... don't know if that's a compilment. Leonie and Katie were the two girls to walk past, Luke was nominated to be the "ugly" girl to turn around and smile at James. We thought it would funny if luke did it as a twist on the idea that no one in the school is as good as Mrs McCanzie. I was made to have the dancing bit.

We split up into pairs and did a story board for our given 10 seconds, which we drew or wrote, giving detailed labels about the height and angle of the camera.
We made sure that we did all the outside scenes on the first given day of filming, this is because we didn't know what the weather was going to be like next lesson, also bringing in heavy guitars was a pain!
The outside scenes took most of the lesson to do, as we wanted to make sure that we got the correct angles and make sure that we got everyone in.
On the lesson that we recorded the inside scenes, i wasn't at school. But i was there for the editing process. About 10 seconds had already been done by Luke, so me and Abbi thought we best finish off the rest. We made sure that we had the original video handy to make sure that we were using the right clips at the right time. We both found it quite hard to get the clips at the exact right time without having to move all the other clips around, resulting in them being out of time too. The way in which we sorted this problem out was by, obviously, cropping the clips down. Or speeding or slowing down the action. The end result of our music video, was very good, if i do say so myself. However, there was on clip when Josh is singing Charlie's lines, and it's a little bit out of time but we moved everything around to try get it in time, but it just would not go into the correct time, so it was as if he wasnt singing the correct bit.
But for a preliminary exercise and our first time with lip syncing into time, i think we all did really well.
