Reviewing A2 media student's work - Music Video.

Today in lesson our class joined up with the A2 group - in order to watch their created music videos and assess them based on a provided mark scheme. The main aim of watching these was to inspire us in both ways that will influence our horror film (such as variety of shots) and perhaps in A2 if we decide to continue with media and create our own music video.
When reviewing we noticed that the majority of videos lacked originality and narrative - however all contained a consistently high level of shot variations (angles and types) lighting, colour and sound. The editing varied throughout the videos, for example some mainly provided us with clean cut footage whereas others had jagged cuts - creating a sense of unfamiliarity and unrealism.
The students, having previously made a horror film advised to film early, allowing plenty of time for re shooting if need be. They told us of the problems they had with weather conditions, and how they solved those, and also made sure we were able to rely on one another, and not to include too many actors in case we are let down in the future.
We found this all very helpful, and hope to put it in to action when we come to creating our own. :)
