The first part of our task was to record our own audition video, edit it and upload it onto youtube. At first I was really aprehensive but this was a really helpful process as it helped me to relax in front of the camera and gain a little bit of confidence which came useful on the real shoot day.
This task also taught me how to lipsync which was a good skill to learn, which may be useful for our music videos next year. However, my part in this music video didn't require a lipsyncing part. It also taught us how to edit a video so it was in sync with the music.
Task 2 - Learn and practice your performance
All of the cast and some of the crew members took part in a performance session, led by a performance coach, which helped us to relax with each other, and get into our roles well. It gave me a boost of confidence which I definitely needed for the shoot.
Task 3 - Help to plan and organise your costume
A lot of the costumes that the girls wear in the video were viewed as inappropriate for us to wear, so we made adjustments but kept the colour scheme and the themes the same, especially for the girls in the band and in the photography scene, like my own character.
Everyone chipped in, and we begged, borrowed and stole from each other to put together outfits that were close matches to those in the real video.
Task 4 - The shoot
The shoot day was an entirely new experience for me, and was unlike any filming I had done beforehand.There was a much larger cast and crew than I had filmed with on projects before this so it was interesting to see how everyone came together to create the final product.
The shoot day was a really useful way for practising our time keeping skills. I learnt which ways worked best for organising a shoot and keeping to a relatively strict schedule. This is something I find difficult generally, so this task was especially useful as it gave me some experience for when it comes to organising our own music video next year.
