Summary

Home page 

This page i actually began editing further into my project as i didn't see the main purpose of having anything on the first page however later in the project i realised this was my chance to display an insight of my music video and what the audience are to expect before they go further. this took me a maximum of 2hrs with changing the layout, editing text and images and music video. For the first page i tried keeping it short and simple just to explain what my project is on in a brief and what I'm meant to be creating. In my opinion the first page looks very good as its structure is clear and the words aren't hard to understand as well as there is not a load of words as this may through people of and wont cause the impact I'm trying to achieve. i could do better if the wallpapers were more clear as well as the page having some sort of interactive aspect to it making a better and more creative experience for the audience. The most important thing i learnt from this page is that structure and creativity can make a lot of difference as well as the main page will always make a difference as it is the first impression of your project. 

Research 

This page is one of hardest pages as it required a lot of time and required me to do a lot of catch up as I didn't start of this project on the best health however it was great to see where i got to at the end of the page and the amount that was actually created. this is my most wordy page for this project however in my opinion its all very important as each part shows the relation towards the music video and can easily be linked to my final research of my audience and artist. I've conducted detailed research on all the aspects from the basics of what a music video is and similarities to the purposes and history of chosen music video along with producer strategies and many more aspects that has helped my artist research become more advanced and stronger in the sense of detail and in depth. The whole research took me approximately 2-3 days due to there being some research aspects taught to everyone as a class and the rest was carried out individually using previous knowledge and prompting from teachers as i go along as well as using google and general knowledge. overall i believe this page went very well and was very helpful throughout the whole project as i was able to constantly go back and retract what I'm originally trying to create by looking back into the audience and artist research and making sure my music video is to the best of my ability. i could do better by doing some more research into my chosen artists music videos to help me pick the right one for the final production however due to not doing this i was struggling with the production as i couldn't fix a strong narrative that would be reasonable with my limited budget and availability. however i got through this with a solution of thinking outside the box and trying my best to stay with the research stage. Also i would say adding more to the colour theory would make it more useful on this page as i briefly talk about the colour and monochrome corrections however i could have spoken more about the effects of colours and blends on people and then took this into more consideration when recording understanding how the scenery and atmosphere could be made more impactful. From this page i learnt lots of things from increasing my general knowledge about video creation and music videos to more in depth aspects such as demographics and different music video strategies and styles used to make the music video more successful and creative. i also have attached a roll over button which brings us to the bibliography page which is simply showing where i got my secondary research. this helps to stay on track and make a balance between secondary and primary research.

Reflexion page

This page is the most fun part and my most favourite part of the project as i loved learning the new effects and editing's that i knew i could definitely use in future projects. however i did my separate research and found some effects that worked well with my final cut such as the clone effect and the possessed eyes (black pupil eyes) in my opinion this was very useful as i understood that I'm not restricted to the limited amount of effects, on the other hand this also made me confused half way in the production as it made me struggle to find what effects i could use and would work in which situation however i made a decision to lower my variety to a more smaller selection. This page has been structure with information about the effect at the top and i numbered the tutorials as well as described how its created on the software's. Below the small briefs i got the practical video and in some tutorials screenshots of the process. I've also included other practical work such as storyboard practices and green screen practice this helped refresh the practical's which were fairly useful. I don't have an actual timing this took to complete as we went along with it as we got further into the project, however i could approximately say it was between 2-4days in which new practical's were constructed for further support within our project. i believe my reflection page was a chance for myself to see what I've completed throughout my project and having all these tutorials and explaining what these styles and techniques are and how to create them was very helpful and important. in my opinion what went well is having everything structured in a form that is easily understandable and then further analysing and explaining key steps on how to make a particular style. i could do better if i included more in the reflection of some of the practical's to give a more detailed analysis of how it was created. From this page i have learnt lots of different elements that i could and will use in future projects such as the ultra key tutorial, multi sync tutorial, split screen editing, etc. i would say this page is not only going to help with my music video project but also boost my production and creativity in other projects allowing myself to have a large variety to choose from when working on my FMP.

Pre-production

On this page I've created multiple practical and theoretical based research which is related to my music video. on this page I've included important and very useful resourceful research such as my pitch, which helped me keep to plan and made it easy to stay well organised and makeing sure that I'm hitting the general idea.

Final cut

This is my final video and how i got to it. i started this project at a decent pace and a strong plan however i lost all my footage and therefore had to reshoot all scenes with in a planned week or two before holidays. these weren't the only challenges having to reshoot scenes as i saw some shots wont fit the purpose such as green screen wasn't able to be used for some effects that i intended to use such as the demon eyes weren't able to work as the tracking was not a massive help. finally managed to reshoot and finalise the editing stage and clearly showed the skills i learnt from the project.
