Star persona video feedback

-

1) Type up your feedback from your teacher in full+ self assessment/improvement

I had good use of screen text in the beginning of the the video introducing myself and what i will be doing in the video. 
The video was well framed ad positioned so you can see my face and what i am doing clearly in the video.  
When i was editing i used transitioning wipes which was good as it made the video seem more professional and it was eye catching. 
I applied the makeup myself which was difficult but i achieved the look well.
The shots were well trimmed so the video did not get too far over 2 minutes.

 However some things i could have improved on are: embedding the video on my blog, i did not do this because i did not know how to.
The type of typography in the introduction could have been better to stand out more and easier for the audience to read.
The lighting was also not good as i filmed it at night and there was no natural lighting.
I should have filmed against a white wall as this would have been more professional and it will appear better in camera.
I filmed the video on my phone so the resolution was not that good, if i filmed on a professional camera the quality of the video would have been better and more clear.

 2) Type up the comments you received from other students in the class. You may wish to do this in bullet point and you do not need to repeat comments if more than one student wrote the same thing about your work.

 WWW: 
  • I used good music and it was relevant as it was the joker's song.
  • Good editing and transitions
  • good makeup and achieved the look
EBI: 


  • Better backdrop
  • Embed the video
  • better lighting
3) Now reflect on your own work in more detail. How did your star persona mood board planning help clarify and develop your ideas?

 My mood board was helpful in gathering ideas of the look i was going to create in terms of colours and style. I could choose which image would be the best and most appropriate for me to create in terms of creativity and ability.

4)Thinking technically, how could you improve your work for future videos? (E.g. filming, editing, sound etc.)

In the future i will use a professional camera to record videos using a tripod to get steady framed shots, this will ensure that the video quality is clear and has a good resolution as well as good lighting. I will also film against a white back drop with lighting facing me.

 5) Finally, what have you learned regarding the importance of mise-en-scene to character, narrative and the creation of star personas in film and television?
I have learned that mise-en-scene is important as it says a lot about the characters personality and their role in film and television. Mise-en-scene is also important for the narrative of  film as it suggests what the genre and story line might be.

  Statement of intent : draft 3 I will make a  2-3 minute music video  with an accompanying  music magazine . The song i have chosen to do is called 'I'm not racist' by Joyner Lucas, the  genre  of the song is  rap/ hip-hop.  I plan on adopting some of the features of the original music video such as the  cinematography  used. I have chosen this genre because it initially gave audiences an insight into the lives of young, black, urban people and also gave them a voice.  Tricia Rose  has criticised commercial hip hop and suggests black culture has been appropriated and exploited by capitalism. I aim to use the genre of hip hop for what it used to be about and shed light on politics, race and history.  I will include  Todorov's theory of equilibrium  ,in the beginning both men have an existing state where they hold prejudice against each other and have suppressed feelings. The  disequilibrium  will b...

Music Video: Common- Letter to the Free

Social and cultural context 1) What other projects has Common been involved in over recent years? Common and John Legend wrote  Glory  as the soundtrack for  Selma. 2)  What is the 13th Amendment of the American Constitution? The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. 3) What were the Black Codes? Black codes were restrictive laws designed to limit the freedom of African Americans and ensure their availability as a cheap labor force after slavery was abolished during the Civil War. 4) Why do people suggest that the legacy of slavery is still a crucial aspect to American culture 150 years after it was abolished by the 13th Amendment? Slavery is still a crucial part of American culture as the 13th Amendment has a loophole in it when it says slavery will be abolished 'except as punishment for crime'. This created more problems in the prison system and prison rates...
