Question One
What do you think you learnt from Monday's workshop? You could discuss anything you like - technical, performance, production process, directing, the various roles, specific skills - anything you think is relevant.
Monday’s workshop gave me a useful insight into how professional music videos are made. I realised how time consuming it is and how every person on set, both in front and behind the camera, need to stay focused in order to make the process as quick as possible.
Recreating an actual music video meant that various pre-production stages had already been completed and we could concentrate more on the technical aspects of making a music video. The creative choices such as (set design, costume, and choreography) had already been decided so all we had to do was mimic them as closely as we could. For example, finding an authentic looking baseball jacket for the jock character to wear as well as books to put in the library set.
When looking at performance, it's extremely important that everyone gives 110% in order for the music video to be a success. There are a couple shots where it could be seen that the cast weren't performing to the best of their effort and it really made editing difficult in some places.
The workshop really gave us a good insight into the role of a director. They have to constantly be "on the ball", making sure their vision is being brought to life. It was really helpful that while Jake was directing, he was still talking to us; he would make a decision and then explain why that decision had been made.
I also got the chance to work as part of the crew and held up the light during most of shooting of the library scenes. It made me realise how important lighting is as the lamp has to be held in the right position but it is heavy so it does end up dropping a bit. You have to be careful not to let it drop too far and end up in the frame. Definitely hard work but at least I got a work-out
