A2 Music Video: What i have done this lesson

Today in my lesson I have analysed my friends media coursework and left feedback in the form of comments on her blog, this will help her improve her work and also show that she takes into consideration constructive criticism and other people’s opinions.

A2 Music Video: Issues

There have been multiple issues with my filming over these past few weeks:

Actress

My actress has repeatedly cancelled the times and days I have said I am available to film. The reason as to why I didn't change my actress was due to the fact she said she could do it at a later date; but then went on to cancel again and again. She has now dropped out of the project all together a few days before the deadline with no reason as to why she can’t do it, leaving me with barely any footage which involves her lip syncing the song ‘who you are’. After I discovered this I tried to get footage for the instrumental parts of the video which didn’t include any actress. This leads on to my other issue.

Uploading the film onto pinnacle

After plugging the camera into the computer and having pinnacle open and ready a window message popped up saying that it was not compatible with my camera, with also lacking a teacher I had no one who I could ask about this, fellow pupils tried to solve the problem but were unsuccessful. This is the reason as to why I couldn’t put my footage on before the Christmas deadline.

A2 Music Video: My products

As stated previously my actress has dropped out of my project, without forewarning or regards to how this will affect my coursework. After consulting my media studies teacher she says it will be okay to leave my Digi-Pack products as they are as long as I state that I have used a different actress in my video and what impacts good and bad this will have. I will later analyse this choice using a table of pros and cons comparing my new actress to my old one featured in my Digi-pack products.
