Our finished prelim

Here is our finished Preliminary Task:

Before we started filming we prepared well beforehand and organised ourselves well, so when it came to filming we knew exactly what we needed to do. We did this by preparing detailed plan and storyboards with timings. In addition we ensured we had the original video on hand to refer to. The equipment was particularly easy to operate as we used a similar camera last year so it was pretty easy to get to grips with.

However, we faced many difficulties when filming our prelim. An example of a problem we faced was our camera running out of charge whilst filming which disabled us from getting all of the shots we needed in one day (which we hoped to do!). The framing and composition was quite hard to get right as Hannah found it hard to stay in the same position for a long time (continuity). Another difficulty we faced was the lip syncing which proved quite time consuming.

Overall I thought we did really well as it looks quite similar to the actual music video. However we would need to work on improving the lip syncing in the middle. We found it really hard to film Hannah carrying out the exact same actions as shown in the video in time. But although we found it somewhat difficult, it does look pretty similar to the original video.
