Identify The Task And The The Song/Artist
The song we were given was No More Mr. Nice Guy By Alice Cooper, and we had to make a music video for the song, we were allowed to cut out some of the song if we wished to.
How Have You Used Digital Technology In The Construction Of Your Video?
Digital technology had a huge input towards our media product, we were given a hand held camera with a stand to record the music video. Then we had access to Apple Macs, and an editing software called iMovieHD. We was also enabled to show our video to the public via YouTube.
Discuss The Planning Stage Of Your Production And The Steps You Went Through.
To plan the media product we made a list of all the various shots and we made a rough storyboard as an visual aid to help us contruct the shots. Whilst some of our group was creating the storyboard the half started taking notes from music videos by the same music artist of the same genre, this helped us understand the generic conventions for the genre Rock in a music video.
How Did Your Research Into Music Videos Contribute To The Development Of Your Own Production?
We looked at what other media groups from previous years did that had the same genre as us and from that we were able to copy what they did and see what worked well, we also look at general rock music videos to see how the editor has enabled the video to flow with the tempo of the music video.
What Do You Think Are The Main Strengths/Weaknesses In Your Production? (Consider The Audience Feedback)
I think the main strength is that at the beginning the sequence flowed really well with the music and the tempo. There was a good structure and alot of contuinity editing throughout the piece. Near the end of the sequence the video began to colapse and we got lazy, we didn't have enough shots so we added a few random shots to fill the time. The plot of the sequence was very good according to the audience feedback, altough near the end the quoting back from my previous comment, we got lazy and the acting was getting drowzy. The worst part of the sequence was the lip synching, we have now learnt that singing into a webcam was a horrible idea and we have now learnt from the mistakes.

Evaluation questions for practice music video
Our task was t create a prelim music video for the song No More Mr Nice Guy by Alice Cooper.
2. How have you used digital technology during the construction of your video?
We used digital technology as when we filmed we used a digital camera which connected to our Apple computers. We used technology in the editing as we used the software I movie HD. We also used it when uploading our Prelim task to youtube.
3. Discuss the planning stage of your production and the steps that you went through.
Firstly we identified the genre and used the internet to find the conventions of a typical rock music video including using youtube to see some of the videos. We then created a story board which helped us plan out the shots and the story line which we were to include in our task.
Evaluation Questions for practice music video- William Wise
1.)Identify the task as well as the song/artist
1.) The task was to make a music video based on the track we were given. For our group we were given No more Mr nice guy by Alice Cooper.
2.) How have you used digital technology during the construction of your video?
2.) We used digital technology during the construction of the video as we used a video camera to film the whole production, once we had finished our production we used Apple Macs to upload and edit the production.
3.) Discuss the planning stage of your production and the steps that you went through
3.) We planned by creating a storyboard which contained a list of shots and a story line for our music video. We also researched other music videos of the same genre to see what type of codes and conventions they used, and to see what feel of style we needed to use. We researched the artist on Youtube but unfortunately there was no music videos just live shows, but Alice Cooper gave us the attitude we needed for the music video.
4) How did your research into music videos contribute to the development of your own production?
4.) When we looked at other AS music videos this helped us as we realized we had to base our music video on a story. We also looked at lip synching and fitting the music in time with the production.
5.) What do you think are the main strengths/weaknesses in your production? consider your audience feedback.
5.) The main strengths for our production was the type of camera shots we used as they looked professional and unique. There was a nice structure for the music video and the length of the clips were good. Some of the shots looked realistic. For example when the victim was running towards the door. Our weaknesses was we should have a made a better ending as the bullies should have put up more of a fight and the pushing should have been more realistic. The lip synching didn't work as expected as it was not in time and we was not in time with each other. We should not have filmed on the webcam as well as it looked poor and didn't fit the story line.
