Budget Britney:
Our short preliminary task was to create a music video to a fragment of Britney Spears' 'Hit Me Baby One More Time'. With very little time to prepare for filming we managed to do little more beyond dividing roles, printing lyrics for our 3 main actors and altering the layout of the room for our first location. We considered sending someone to go location scouting but since we were limited to filming in the school environment which we are very familiar with, we didn't think it was necessary, already having an idea of the specific locations we would film in.
We filmed on two different cameras from different angles as well as one being on a tri-pod and the other hand-held.This gave way to more efficient filming and less takes to be required.
Due to the short time frame we had to plan, film and edit it was much more difficult to construct any decent final product, so we took it all very light-heartedly with a lot of spontaneous shots and filming. For our actual video we will have more time for all elements of production and with a detailed shot list and storyboard will be aware of all the necessary shots, thus ruling out spontaneous filming as a necessity but rather a possible supplementation.
It was useful however to get an appreciation of precise editing; matching the lip synch to the track, not to mention the logic behind moving a clip that's behind the tack forward and a clip that's in-front backwards (easier said than done: It took us a while to grasp the logic of this..)
