Evaluation Question 4: How do you think your prelim experiences will impact on your approach to next term's music video coursework?

Our brief for next terms music video is: To create an artist/ Band from scratch and create a package of promotional material to launch them onto the music scene.

The promotional material consists of:

1. Original music video
2. Album Cover
3. A website 

Having done the prelim it’s made me think about a lot of things I would have not done before. Some of these include using a studio, being in the project and coming up with our own styling and costumes. 

I’ve learnt that good planning is essential when it comes to pre-production.  I will need:

• A well planned idea of what is in the music video. i.e. characters,  costumes, genre, background.
• Audition videos to see who is best for each role. 
• Costume and makeup list for each character
• Shoot schedule including shot numbers and timings for the main shoot day.
• Creating and rehearsing choreography 

Having a complete schedule for the shoot days including strict shoot timings is crucial for the main shoot. It will also be helpful to have proper crew for the shoot who would all do individual jobs to keep responsibilities such as an assistant director like Amy and runners like Shay.

Overall, I found the workshop extremely educational and fun. I will use the knowledge I’ve gained in my music video in September. I’d like to thank all the staff and teachers for putting this workshop together for us.
