Music Video Editing - Session 6

3:15 is the beginning of the instrumental section of the song. Whilst in New York I filmed some street performers: a man playing the saxophone, a man playing the drums and a man playing the guitar. After careful and difficult editing we have managed to fit the timings of these instruments visually being played in with the timing of the music soundtrack; this is a section we are very pleased with! In this instrumental we wanted to include footage from both Newcastle and New York along with frequent shots of the man to tie up the narrative of the video towards the end of the track. Lyrics are not present to potentially distract the audience from the video and consequently their full attention is on the shots which was conclude the point of the video; the man is studying in Newcastle and is dreaming about being home in New York City.

Target Grade: A

To achieve my target my research, planning and evaluation must be detailed, effectively communicated and presented digitally, using a wide variety of formats. I need detailed research into similar products and target audience and to show the process of planning by including excellent work on shotlists, drafts, storyboards, scripts, locations and props. I need to show full evidence of the research and planning informing the construction process.

My evaluation must reflect my excellent understanding of forms and conventions, an understanding of the use of new media throughout the stages of production, the way my ancillary and primary tasks combine effectively. There will be anexcellent understanding of the significance of audience feedback.

My production work, across the formats, will demonstrates excellent creativity and imagination as I seek to make them as convincing as possible and it will also reflect my mastery in technical skills such as controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot sizes, close attention to mise-en-scène, appropriate transitions and use of sound.
