During the research stages, I had a look at other similar videos to ‘Stan’ by the same artist ‘Eminem’ and acknowledged that all of them had a decent variety of shots and each one was relevant to the narrative continuity. By doing this, it really helped me so that I could have a better insight into how to condense a plan for suitable shots, which could be placed in necessary points of my music video.
Although the included shots in the continuity of my group’s music video had positive feedback from teachers and other students, we did face some degrading limitations during the process. A common example that constantly occurred in my group was, not being able to use most of the shots stated on the shot-list due to timeline issues.
A limitation with filming certain shots for the music video was having to film in bad weather conditions such as rain and wind, which managed to slow down our group’s daily deadline’s for each filming day.
However, a positive outcome of the shots is that they all match the timeline, in a variety of different ways.
My group and myself realized that there was an element missing from our practical work, which at the time we didn’t seem to acknowledge. However, we later dis
covered that the music video was lacking indications of studio performance, due to constructive criticisms from teachers and students from our sector, which was vital to acquire to the music video because of its importance in boosting our video’s overall grade and it being able to give our group a variety of new skills and a creative cognition.
So then towards the final stages of the music video’s editing, luckily we had enough time to include a performance aspect to our music video, which gave much more depth to our video’s narrative content, based on Goodwin’s theory. We were able to have the opportunity of using the three studio complex, professional cameras, each located in different angles within the studio, which gave the video HD quality in some instances, such as the studio performances.
