Evaluation (Still Finishing This)

In groups of four, we were set a task to re-create at least thirty seconds of a music video. Our group decided to reconstruct the first 30 seconds of Labrinth’s single ‘Treatment’. We discussed and decided who we would use as our actors and which job would be allocated to whom. We then created a production plan clarifying which locations we would use and also what props we would need. As well as how we could reconstruct the correct type of lighting and what shots we would need (cinematographically related) My role was to do part of the camera work and scene setting within the theatre. Grace and I did half the filming in her house and I helped with the editing. Javanna’s role was mainly to be in charge of scene setting and lights co-ordinator when filming in the theatre and also help with editing. Sydney’s role was to do part of the camera work and to be the main director when filming in the theatre. Sydney also helped out with lighting at Grace’s house and helped with editing.

Most of the filming was done at Grace’s house on the night before the deadline day as we realised our previous filming was useless. There were no outtakes, instead we decided to film throughout the whole process and just edit the parts we wanted out of the recordings. This is a mistake I have learned from as when I do my moving media text I am going to be more organised and get the shots I need with some outtakes.

Final Reconstruction of Media Text (Treatment

Thursday 4 October 2012

Diary

Day 1 Monday 1st October

We started to record the close up shots of our artist for the thirty seconds we have decided to reconstruct. We managed to record the shots successfully and we now need to create the setting and the other members of the cast walking within the shots.

Day 2 Tuesday 2nd October

We recorded the walking shots within the thirty seconds of the reconstruction, however this hasn't been as successful as we haven't got all of our team together. We have kept the recordings to use as an example of how we would like these shots to look like. We also need to think of clothing and also the props needed to create a realistic reconstruction of the video.
