Response to Preliminary Task

For the preliminary task, as a class we made a music video for 'What I Go To School For' by Busted. We had done this for the introductory preliminary task so this time I knew the lyrics. I found it quite enjoyable to do, though sometimes it would take a while to get each shot done. We also had to rush it all to get it done in two lessons, so I think it would have been a lot better with more time. This gave me an idea of what it will be like when we make our own videos though, but will have a lot more time to do so. I didn't realize how many shots there are and how difficult it is, and I was only an 'extra' in the preliminary, so I can tell that it will be a lot harder in the real thing. We had to consider everything properly and co-operate with each other, which is harder than it sounds.
We then had to edit these the shots into a video in pairs. I found this difficult, as it was hard to get it all in sync and in the right places. Again, it gave us a taster of the real thing though, so it was good.
