Evaluation

1. What do you think you learnt from Friday's workshop? It could be specific things about making a music video OR general things about the production process.
Friday's work shop mostly taught patience. We had to be patient between shooting and whilst setting up shots, showing how long it takes to shoot as you have to have lots of takes so that you have enough footage in the edit to use the best shots and not be left with rubbish shots with nothing better to use. It also taught us to be prepared for long shoots and to bring in appropriate props and to have spares just to make sure that you're not going to be left with nothing.

2. For you, what was the best bit?
My favourite part of the workshop was the performance shots with everyone in the background although it was very tiring jumping up and down and dancing for the whole extract of the song about 5 times in a row.

3. How do you think the work we have done will impact on your group project?
I think the workshop has helped us see what it is like to shoot a music video and therefore has helped us to prepare for our own shoots as we know that we will have to shoot the video lots of times and have everything prepared in advance. It also helped us think about who we will have in the music video as it showed that shooting a music video is a long process and therefore we need to have people prepared to put their all in and be prepared for long shoots.
