Prelim Music Video - Weakness

Weaknesses of the video

The weakness of our video would be the location where we mainly used the areas around the school to take our shots and it could of been improved with different locations that would of suited the location better, and the lip syncing was not good so it could of been improved with more practice, we could of also looked for better actors that can act and lip sync better.

We took a recording of the sky in the morning therefor it had no stars which can be improved upon by taking a picture of a night sky with stars which will fit in more into the music video.

Prelim Music video - Chosen song

Chosen song - A sky full of star

We have chosen this song because the video had things that can be replicated quite easily as it uses some equipments that are already available to us, such as the piano as we had one in the school hall that was suitable for our music video. Also the lyrics could be matched with the video accordingly as it talks about the sky and for our video we took a picture of the sky so it suited, however one thing that could of been improved on the sky would be when its at night where it would be stars so it would be more suitable for song.

Prelim Music video - Location

Chosen locations

We have chosen the hall for because it had a piano that we needed in our video, and we did the outside sky for a part of the video but it could of been a night sky to improve our video as it will show stars and will match the prelim music video better and the other locations are done in the school.
