Task 4 - upload of prelim task with prelim task post (see Music Video prelim post)

 a)      Task outline and real video
For the Preliminary Task we we're asked to recreate the opening minute of 1 of several popular music videos, we chose One Direction's hit record 'Little things'.
b)      Planning
We watched the original video through several times picking apart the shots we would have to recreate as well as this we created a list of props needed for the film and decided what room we would use to create the film.
c)      Filming
The filming process took around 2 hours one afternoon and was fairly straightforward we put the original video on a projector screen just out of shot so we could perfectly lip synce the song and ensure the shot was as close as it could be to the original.
d)      Editing
The editing process was fairly straightforward as we filmed in the same order as the original, the challenges we're turning the entire film black and white and matching it up with the original in the bottom corner.
e)      Final Product
The final product was a pretty much a success except for a few shots which are out of synce I think are effort was admiral considering the enviroment we had to film in as well and creating as close a copy to the original as we could.
f)       Your contribution           
                Hours of contribution- 6 hours
                Which sections you filmed- Most shots I'm not in I filmed due to the fact I was a slight controlfreak when it came to filming.
               Which sections you lipsynched- As you can see from the film I has a similar amount of lipsyncing time as the other two I worked with. I am the one in the white t-shirt you can see it in it's entirety below.
               Which sections you edited- I personally took care of the black and white filter and editing the smaller version in the bottom corner while the other two cut the shots together.
g)      Evaluation      
Overall I believe the film was a success I picked up some new skills through the editing process for example how to use the black and white filter, the film is pretty close the the original apart from the fact it's a few seconds faster than the original.
