Evaluation

Whilst re-creating my music video we decide to change it up slightly so its more personal unique. Although we did keep some elements such as some of the outfits that Britney had on as it we thought they looked nice and suited the kind of look we were going for. I think this did improve our music video because it was nice and different to see the similar elements of the original video with a twist.

Whilst filming we did encounter some problems such as learning the choreography to a high standard and finding more back up dancers, at times we also struggled with locations as we often used the same location which made our shots seem more repetitive. There are a few aspects that I would change if I was to plan this again, such as making sure everyone knows the choreography perfectly and that they are in sync, as well as trying to hire more back up dancers.

We received a lot of feed back from our peers and teacher, we received positive feedback such as: the scenes went well/flowed with the music the lip syncing was done very well, nice dancing, cinematography was excellent, our framing and choice of location worked really well together, the camera was steady and the fact that we chose a good person to play our Britney as she had very good facial expressions, and lip syncing was on time and looked good as well as the fact that she had  very similar movements to the original Britney. On the other hand some negative comments consisted of: we needed a more variety of shots, in one of the scene we could hear some of the sounds when we were recording as it wasn't towered properly whilst editing, the choreography was quite weak the dance moves were half-hearted and it didn't seem like we put enough energy and effort into it and it didn't look as professional as it could have , the scene were we are in the car park didn't really work well and we should have chosen another location for that particular scene and there are quite a few repetitive shots also the long shots were quite faint.

As a result from the feedback I got there is a few changes I would make to the video, for example the dancing being a main factor, I would ensure we have people that can dance very well as well as making sure that we have a very structured choreography instead having an idea in our heads and trying it out without putting to much thought into it. I would also try to think of a variety locations so that we don't tend to have repetitive shots. As well as that whilst we are filming I would make sure eliminate as much background noise as possible, so that when it comes editing the process it is made easier and we dont make the mistake of not lowering the background noise.
