Practice video

For our practice video we chose to use Florence and the Machine- Rabbit Heart, the video for this song was quite simple and fun and seemed like an exciting choice to have done. The video story board was created by Philippa by print screening each shot in the video for the first minute.We decided to film the first 30 seconds of the video as we we're unable to get the props needed for anything after that. The group was originally; India, Ruby, Jen, Philippa and me but because of absence we decided to join another group so that we didn't have to rely on people being here making it harder to film, the group that we joined was Mark, Hanna and Jasmine giving us a group of 8. The fact that we had a larger group meant that we had to make sure that everybody had a role in creating the video, each of us would was involved in the filming of the video by being in it or being behind the camera; filming, helping with lyrics and directing the actors. When editing the video we tried to give everybody in the group a chance to edit a little part of the video so that everybody got to know the software a little bit when it comes to creating our own video's later on in the year. The costumes for the video were brought in by Jen and Philippa, using old clothing and a piece of lace to try and replicate the video as well as we could, because each individual in the group were quite low on money we tried to use things found in home and at college, the original video is filmed in a large field with quite natural lighting, we recorded our video at college using a field that nobody uses so that we didn't have to stop and let people past. We were all lucky with the weather on the day we decided to record as it was quite sunny which gave us good lighting in the video. When editing the video we changed the lighting to try and replicate the original as the lighting is quite orange. Because there are only four lessons of media studies a week we had to decide in a group when people were free to meet up and edit parts of the video, when editing the video we needed at least two people to use the software so that the person editing had some support and help when they felt they didn't really know what to do. Editing the video in smaller groups saved a lot of time because there weren't many times that each person in the group were all free at the same time.
