2nd draft reflection

Since our first draft we filmed more lip sincing shots of our artist. We filmed our artist in front of two different backgrounds. One of the backgrounds was a green screen and one was a projector screen. In this draft we decided not to use any green screen shots of our artist. This is because when we edited them into the video, a green glow appeared around our artist which looked really strange. It made the video look unprofessional which is not the look we are going for so we decided to take them shots out. We continued to use the shots of our artist in front of the projector screen. The projector screen showed bright colours and shapes so we thought this would look good as bright colours are a key code and convention in dance genre music videos. However, after watching the whole video back we think that the shots look like they have been put there purely just to show our artist singing and that there isn't much purpose of them. We think that these shots look a bit irrelevant so we think that we will take them out. We still needs shots of our artist lip sincing but we are going to do it in a different setting.

After reviewing this draft we have decided to re-film our artist lip sincing in a different location. We are going to create a set which will look like a recording studio. When we film our artist she will be wearing a headset and singing into a microphone to create the illusion that she is singing in a recording studio. We think that this will look much better as it will make part of the video performance based.

We ended up using a lot of typography as it is a key convention for dance genre music videos. The text appears quickly so it matches the pace of the song and doesn't become too much of a distraction to what is going on in the background.

 Our audience feedback had a major impact of what to put into our videos such as the colours for example. Our target audience said they would like to see more effects and more colours so that is what we did. Not only have we kept our audience happy but we have also stuck to key codes and conventions of dance genre.
