B: Update of lesson

In our last lesson, we tested out the new school equipment such as the fish eye lens and dolly to make a rough music video as a class to the song 'Hey ya'. Each group had a verse in which they had to film to collate them together to make a group video. In our group we asked other members of the school to dance for us as well as working in the studio with lighting. This task gave us the opportunity to practice our skills as well as getting experience when syncing lip singing with the track, when editing.

All the equipment used would really benefit the quality of the filming for our music video and we would really like to replicate some of the shots in our actual video.

The equipment we used consisted of the fish-eye lens, curved mini motion cam, cam-frame, track & dolly, all in which worked well to create different effects and camera movements which we can now use in our actual music video.

The Task as a whole has allowed us the opportunity to gather an insight into how hard it is to create a music video and how important it is to use the right equipment, planning and leaving enough time to edit our work.

As a group we found that the task was very useful for us to find out the difficulties of lip-syncing and to practice using the great new equipment, which will give us further ideas for shots in our video.
