ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END

“One good thing about music is when it hits, you feel no pain.”

Bob Marley

This quote is very true in most circumstances and defiantly links to the experience we had with our pop video, although making a music video can be very stressful and daunting this was not the experience we had with ours. It took us seven months to fully create the pop video, from the initial idea to the final edit and publishing. Although the whole process took a while we enjoyed every minuet of it. There where times where things did not go the way we wanted such as the filming we did with the band. Our original plan was to have the band cut into shots of the girl in the cage and when the beat picked up the shots became short and fast, but when it came to filming we were very unprepared and many of our band members did not know how to play the instruments that were necessary to the song so we had to cut them out, this later became an issue as our song did not portray a clear narrative. If we had the chance to film it all again we would probably be more organized in choosing our band members and our time management as we ran out of studio time to get all the vital shots. As well as our pop video we also created a digi pack and a magazine advert for the song. This was another enjoyable part of creating the video as it gave us the chance to be creative and it also gave our pop video a more professional element to it. All in all I really enjoyed making the pop video and there has been a drastic improvement in my work since my AS level thriller and I have really enjoyed the experience and have gained a small understanding of what it might be like to work in the music video industry, hard work yet extremely enjoyable with the final outcome.
