30 Cut Chorus

Learning  Comment:
By filming this, I realised that it is actually very hard to keep my camera in focus- I need to use the manual focus more often instead of the ease of using automatic to ensure that my camera is in focus for close up shots. Additionally, because my camera films in 1080p video, it took 4 hours to upload 1 minute of footage, so, I need to either film in lower quality when I make my final video which will be considerably longer or I need to make sure I upload the video over night. From this I really have learned that fast paced cuts really do make a music video better- at the start of the video the cuts are very short compared to the 2nd half of the video where they are longer and less jumpy and I prefer the first half of the video which really reflects how quick cuts make a difference. I do need to plan my videos more before I do them because I found that I was struggling to pick a variation on shots and camera techniques, which resulted in a bland video in relation to the variation that you see. Filming in the sun really enhanced the quality of my video, so I will try to film on days where there is a considerable amount of sun, which may be difficult as I will be filming in autumn and winter, where sunlight is limited. This may mean that I have to invest in special lights for certain shots, especially those that I will be filming when it is quite dark.
