12s2-39 feedback

1. the lip-synching was good as there was no audio lag and the lyrics were pronounced clearly
2. the editing was fast and went well with the song also the different colours used were an interesting touch
3. the background was a bit bland bit the glasses were very 90's
4. camerawork was very static with little movement

FEEDBACK S2:36

Lip synching is good could of had close up of lips saying "push it"

the editing is really good, especially liking the colour editing at the end. Lots of quick shots fitted with the music well.

Costumes were retro and went with the feel of the song. The dancing was also appropriate and really good.

The lighting was simple but gave the video and proffessional look as did the camera work with a large vairety of shots and handheld shots used.

:)

Feedback from S2-37

Quality of lip syncing:
Lip syncing was good, was quite limited

Editing choices:
loved the pushing the screen when it said 'push it' and colour changes were really good, added an edge to the video

Mise-en- scene:
sunglasses were a nice touch, chain represented urban genre of music video

Camera Work:
Like the tilted shots, suit the pace of music

Push It

Because the lyrics 'Push it' are the focal point to of the song, we will make this a key part of our video. Our two characters, at multiple points in the video, push against an invisible wall and the shot next shot will gradually slide in, showing the other person until the next switch.

Specifics Behind Video

We wish to incorporate a wide range of apparel into our musical production. We wish to use a wide array of bright colours from the 80's era to match the mood of the song. Brands will include Adidas, Nike and Umbro. Trousers will be baggy, and T shirts loose fitting in fitting with the era. Our two actors will also be sporting multiple pieces of jewelry to show their healthy financial status. The characters will also be wearing baseball caps.

For the msuic video we will take advatage of the white screen that is available. This will be consistent throughout the video.

A variety of shots will be used such as close ups such as shoes , labels and jewelry. Also, we will use mid sots and long shots to show dancing.

Salt and Pepa

Initially we discussed producing and co-ordinating a dance track behind a large white screen. We then thought of using the lyrics 'push it' in a way so that we could incorporate it into the editing. Between the lyric 'push it' we will use simple dance moves from this period and a variety of camera shots/angles. We planned to use the song 'Pass Out' but we encountered troubles when trying to create a video as we didn't have the equipment or time to make an effective video. We are hoping to use authentic clothes from this era (late 1980's) in the video. Although this idea may come across as simple we are hoping that this will come across better than if we were to make a complex video with lots of props and complex routines.
