Busted Video - Steph's evaluation of skills learnt.

From storyboarding the 'What I Go To School For' video and creating the shot lists, I have learnt that there is a lot to consider when planning a music video. Watching the video repeatedly helped me identify key things in the video that you can't find from just watching it once. I learnt that storyboarding is essential when planning a video as it breaks up the structure and different shots so that they will be easier during the filming process. The types of shots must also be considered so that you know what angles, speed and types of shots to use later on. The shot lists were helpful as you can plan the locations, actors and props in advance and also when filming will specifically take place. Experimenting with the video camera helped me as I wasn't very confident before so this practice should help me with future work. Practicing lip syncing was also important to make the video look more realistic. The key thing that I learnt was not to take too many shots with different people as editing can be difficult which makes the process more time consuming. We filmed numerous times to make the video as good as possible. I will use these key skills in the next film that I produce.
