Music Video Skills
Team Working
With regards to working in a team i felt we worked well, our group included three people therefore there were many different ideas involved which we tried to incorporate into the editing and filming. Evreyone in our group let others have their say and therefore if anyone had a disagreement then we would try to reason as a group and sort out the problem.
Lip Syncing
The lip syncing to begin with seemed hard as the song was not recognised entirely by Jamie who was performing the lip syncing, however once he heard it a few more times and got a rhythm going the lip syncing improved. However in the end result was half and half as some parts of the lip syncing are good, whereas some lip syncing is out of flow.
Location
Filming took place at two different locations, firstly the group went to Knebworth House to film, however i had a hospital appointment resulting in me missing out, which saddened me. However the next day when i looked at the footage to see what had been filmed, there was not enough footage to complete the task therefore the next day we filmed more in the school grounds, which was satisfactory.
Camera Work
The second day of filming where i was present i feel the camera work was good. We managed to capture a variety of shots, in the short time period we had. We managed to get a range of shots from close ups to high angle shots.
Editing
Editing went smoothly, as there was three of us editing we once again managed to get a lot of ideas around and tried to agree on as much of it as we could. We added transistions where we felt it was neccesary, and even reversed a shot which we all agreed with. The hardest part of editing was trying to match the music with the lip syncing. This proved a hard challenge.

Sound
As a group we decided that we would have two different pieces of music being played in our film opening and at different times. One whilst Lyle is getting ready and hiding the Tottenham memorabilia and another at the end when we appear round the alley way corner and walk towards the camera. After searching for a few days we finally found two songs that we could use, this was hard to find because we had to use from a website called http://audio.lgfl.org.uk/ which is a copyright free website. The two songs we chose to use were 'Jet Stream' and 'Touch me'
We also found a couple of problems whilst trying to put in the music, we need to reduce the volume of the song whilst Lyle was speaking, however we did not have the technology in school to do this properly so i thought that we could use different levels, Audio 2 and Audio 3, Audio 2 was used for the normal volume, and Audio 3 was a lot quieter, so when the characters were speaking we would have a lower volume on the music and then raise it again when they stopped speaking, we used fades on the music so it also sounded better.
We also realised that the doorbell used was not loud enough so we went on a website called http://www.freesound.org/ where we found a distant doorbell so we chose to used this one.
Overall i am happy with the music that we chose and i feel it will be extremely effective.

Editing using classroom feedback
After listening to what our fellow class mates had to say about our film, we continued editing and used what we heard into our film. The feedback from the class also enabled us to see what we need to improve in our editing and where we could have improved with our filming. Luckily we found good music to add to our film, we chose two different pieces of music. One for when Lyle is rushing around his house and when myself and William are on our way to Lyles house, and another piece of music for the last scene where myself, Lyle and William are walking down an alleyway and Lyle is speaking. We also used the soundbridge at the beggining as we felt the titles at the beggining were slightly long.
