Technology-
During the course of the project I learnt about the programs used in editing, and tools used for filming.
I had the opportunity to use the new HD cameras. They were similar to the old ones, so it didn't take too much getting used to. I further increased my skills in editing using Adobe Premier Pro, at the beginning of the year I only had a very basic knowledge of the program, but I feel that I have largely increased my skill level over the past few days. I still need to gain a larger understanding of the program, as I do not yet know how to add special effects and I'm still not completely sure about all of its functions.
Production-
On the whole the filming went relatively well although we missed out a shot due to not reading the shot list/story board properly, so next time I will have to make sure that I double check the shot list before I return the camera. Everybody brought their props and costumes in, and they all looked perfect for the video. The editing in my video didn't turn out too badly. It was very difficult to totally synchronise the audio with the video, especially as the mp3 file was slightly different to the youtube video that we had been working around. But I feel it went well considering the small amount that I have actually used the program. Towards the end of the project I was feeling rushed, which affected the quality towards the end. But all in all I think it went relatively well.

Video Evaluation
Research and Planning-
The piece of research that I found most useful was the shot list. I felt that this was the thing that I referred to during the filming and editing process. If I were to repeat this though, I would make sure that the shot list was as accurate as possible, down to the second, as it would greatly help the editing process.
Another thing I found useful was the storyboard, this allowed us to see exactly what kind of shot should be used and when, in much the same way as the shot list did, but it gave us a visual idea of how to film the shot. If I were to redo the storyboard I would use a photo one, I feel that it takes less time and comes out with a better product at the end. Other pieces of planning that I will be using this year would be:
Prop lists
Cast lists
Photo story board
Genre research
and a shooting script.

Introduction
For my task in A2 Media Studies I will be creating my own music video, we are allowed to use any song that we want, as long as it does not already have a music video. To practice we will be remaking the video to What I Go To School for, by Busted, we will have to copy every aspect of the video to make it as close to the real thing as possible.
