Preliminary Exercise

Here is our final preliminary exercise!



I believe that our re-make of Rebecca Black's "Friday" was surprisingly good. I was very happy with the final result and thought it looked almost identical.
I found filming and editing very fun. We filmed chronologically so that it was easier to edit, however there were shots we filmed continuously in the car and then added an insert.
I didn't really find it difficult editing the video to fit with the lip syncing, as Lana was clear and it was easy to match up.
We noticed some continuity errors like in one shot the door being closed, and the next it was open. However this is good practice to make sure we don't make the same mistakes in our real coursework.
Moreover, we forgot to film a section of the video so Lana had to film it on her iPhone. The shot was therefore different as iPhone's shoot portrait (hence the black screen at the beginning). This highlighted the importance of sticking with one piece of equipment and also follow storyboards to the very last detail.
We also learnt the importance of learning lyrics as there are a few at beginning Lana didn't know and it is obvious to the audience.
I believe we have learnt a lot from our preliminary exercise and we had lots of fun doing it.
