Good footage
Below is a video of shots which were successful and made the final cut of our music video:
Shot one and two:
These shots are successful due to how the fan created the look of the artist being out of control with her hair flying in all directions. Using the fan is something we can do in more of our shots after seeing how successful it was in corresponding to our theme.
Shot three:
This shot is successful as the lighting, the background and the lip syncing are all crisp and perfected. The red colour which is part of our snergy is also extremely vibrant in this shot.
Shot four:
This shot was successful as their was a smooth transition between the artist singing in the mirror to her singing to the camera. The lighting is also to a good standard that the shot can be used in the final music video.
Shot five:
It was good that this long shot was successful as we now have a variety of shots to exhibit in our final music video. This means that with a more variety, it will be more interesting and visually appealing to the viewer of the music video.
Shot six:
This shot was successful as their was a smooth transition into a long shot to a close up of the artist. The camera was also still on a tripod so the shot was crisp and not shaky.
Shot seven:
This shot was successful as their was lots of reflections of the artist in the mirror emphasising the theme we wanted to create in the mirror maze (the artist seeing herself from all angles and going crazy).

Bad footage
Below is a video of some clips which we have taken whilst being on shoot that aren't high enough quality to put onto our final music video, or we need to put effects over to improve.
The first shot:
The first shot was meant to be of the performer walking in Hyde Park which we would have put in the music video as a clip of non-performance. However, in the clip we see someone in the background rolling a suitcase - meaning it is not sufficient and perfected enough to put in the final music video. From analysing footage like this, it shows us when we are on set in the future, we need to make sure the background is free of the general public.
The second shot:
The second shot was meant to be of the performer laying down lip syncing. However, due to the sun and the shadow cast from it hitting the artist, it means the shot isn't as crisp as it could have been if we had of prevented the artists shadow. To improve this shot however, we can just put an effect over it as a distraction from this lighting problem. From analysing this shot, it means we now know to focus on the lighting when being on shoot to make each shot of the music video be as finished as possible.
The third shot:
The third shot was a disco room in Ripleys 'Believe it or Not' museum which we thought would go perfect with the theme of lights. However, when we watched back the footage, the door was in the background and when the general public were coming near the room, they were in the mirror reflection. This means the shot didn't fulfil the effect we wanted it to.
The fourth shot:
The fourth shot was meant to be the artist lip syncing, however due to the mirrors being all around us in the mirror maze - us filming the artist was caught on the mirrors reflection. This means that it wasn't a sufficient enough shot for us to include in the final music video. From analysing this shot, it means that when we are editing our Ripleys footage - we need to watch the mirrors reflections to make sure noone but the artist is in the reflections.
The fifth shot:
The fifth shot was meant to be a dramatic hair flick to match the theme of the music video (out of control, crazy, eerie, etc) - however this shot didn't match this idea. This meant after analysing this shot, we filmed this shot again with more of an insanity look.
The sixth&seventh shot:
Both these shots were unfortunately not to their best quality due to how we filmed on our iPhones and iPods. From analysing these shots, it showed us that we need to film on a professional camera for best quality. However, to bring back these shots, we can put effects over the top.

Brand image inspiration mood board
Below is a mood board of brand image inspiration from current artists:
From looking at the brand image of current artists, we can get an idea of what is popular with our target audience. From researching, we have found that whilst the artist wasn't as well known, they would sport high street clothing names to their target audience. We also like the idea of our artist looking dressed up in black dresses, but also wearing colourful clothing for locations like Tropical Wings.
