Prelim Reflection

1. What did you find most challenging about recreating your chosen video and why? (remember to think about storyboarding, props, actors, filming, editing, finance)

the most challenging part of recreating our music video was getting the lip sync right, it was very hard to get the lip sync right with the perfect timing of the video as often it would look messy and out of time, this meant that we had to retake a lot of shots to get the right lip sync that looks the most realistic and looked like he was actually singing and knowing what he was doing instead of just standing there clueless as at times that is what it looked like he was doing, in a way this became frustrating but in the end we were able to all achieve something that we were all equally as happy with

2. What problems did you face whilst filming? (consider the logistics, could you get everyone together to film, did you have rehearsal time, were you able to frame your shots effectively, could you convincingly play/mime?)

we had a problem with the battery of the camera, we came to film the camera would not charge and wouldn't film, this created an obstacle for us as we had to waste time looking for another camera with a battery that actually worked, again we did over come this problem but whilst in the moment it was a very annoying problem but it was shortly solved 

( Question 3 answered in question  2 ) 
4. Which problems could you not overcome? (were some instruments harder than others to source, could you recreate the look of an artist, could you dress the set, were some shots impossible to emulate?) 

we could not over come the problem of recreating the make up look as it was too difficult to do and the person being David Bowie did not feel comfortable recreating the look with make up, so without this we just carried on as there was nothing we could do abut it and it was something that we could get by without and it was still achieveable 

5. What next steps are you going to take? (learn how to: film/edit/light/perform/makeup etc)

the next steps i will take is learning how to properly edit the video so we can get it to the highest quality and for it to look the most realistic compared to the actual video, also another step i could take within the group is putting more effort into the person preforming to make them look more like the actual person within the video
