Final Video

Criteria of a Music Video
Holding A Shot Steady, Where Appropriate
To make sure that the shots we took we used a tripod, however in some of the shots the surface wasn't even to place a tripod, hence the tripod is useless, although we held the camera as steady as possible, they where still shaky, and to fix this we used a function on final cut, this stabilizes the shot, although this doesn't totally fix the problem it can take alot of the movement away.

Framing a Shot, Including and Excluding Elements as Appropriate
to ensure that the shots where framed accordingly we, included and excluded the members of the band and parts in the location where appropriate.

Using a Variety of Shot Distances as Appropriate
within the music video there are several shots, the distance is of importance, say if we needed a character to come close to the screen we would have a long shot and make the character come closer to the screen, if the shot was nearer it wouldn't create a somewhat intimidating shot


Shooting Material Appropriate to the Task Set
to ensure we had good quality video for the video, we took multiple shots of the same scene and took out parts where the quality was no good, hence the video only had the best shots of the video within it.

Selecting Mise-En-Scene Including Colour, Figure, Lighting, Objects and Setting
as we intended the video to be somewhat dark and dismal we decided to shoot, on days where we intended to shoot, the sky was light, but due to bad weather we had to film when we could this made it so that the sky and general scenes where lighter than intended on the plus side, the sky was clouded over so this gave us some effect of what we wanted just not to the standard we originally intended on.


Editing so that Meaning is Apparent to the Viewer
to make the watcher understand on what narritive we where trying to show, even to someone who wouldent watch/ listen to metal music, we edited the video to make scenes fall into place with each other, the scenes with the gas mask where largley took out as it didnt really fit into the narritive and if we kept them in it would confuse the viewer.


Using Varied Shot Transitions, Captions and Other Effects Selectively and Appropriately

with the transactions we only used cuts rather than the preset ones within final cut.however we did use effects within the video such as a ghosting effect, which was achieved by placing the same shot with different transparency over the original shot just that the timing was a tiny bit out of sync with the original video.


Using Sound With Images and Editing Appropriately for the Task
the majority of the shots where 3-4 seconds long unless they needed to be due to a narrative piece or the pace of the music was slower,to ensure that the watcher was more ingrosed within the narrative rather than the performance the deathbat logo, (the bands insignia) was flashing and s brought more attention to the narrative
