Draft one.

This is the first draft of our music video for our media assignment. From watching and putting together this first draft we can identify certain things we need to amend and alter, we have even decided to go and film more footage as we were not happy with.

The first point is that we decided our song (Primal instinct by Mefjus and Bowsar featuring Mc Makism) is far too long at a full length of 5 minutes 26 seconds, and so thought it was necessary to cut a long part of the middle of the song as all it consists of a boring repetive drum beat and some neuro funk/drum and bass synths. There are no lyrics, so it is not a problem to cut it out. By doing this we allow ourselves more time to focus on the remaining length of the music video.

Next, various shots are not framed accurately and the top of the artists head is cut off, so to rectify these mistakes, we will re shoot those specific shots making sure that each shot is framed to the highest of our ability. It is important to focus on the backgrounding of the shots as well as the artist.

As well as this, we have decided we need to cut our shots more frequently and a lot faster, to match the high tempo of the track, at the moment the editing is relatively slow, and although cut to the beat in areas, needs to be cut fast paced so it look like it matches when  it is being viewed whilst listening to the song to as a finished product. This is conventional to drum and bass tracks and so we need to stick to it.
