I think that overall I achieved my aims during this coursework. I am very proud of the music video as a whole. I think the mise-en-scene is high quality, the footage and the editing are of a high standard and I think our narrative displays the themes clearly. Perhaps the actual clarity of the narrative could have been improved upon if we had spent more time planning individual shots. We had quite a spontaneous approach to the filming of our performance as well, all though this led to some creative shots; it perhaps caused some problems with editing as we did not always have the shots we needed. I am also happy with the way our Myspace and album cover turned out. I think the artwork on the album cover is very effective and helps to draw in our market and reflect the key themes in our music. Our Myspace has a clear layout on it and has all of the essential info, and also some blogs that are key to building up a report with fans. I think our group worked very well together and we each took an equal share of the work, this ensured there were no rifts between us and so we could work effectively and efficiently to produce a quality piece.
If we had to do this project again then I would hope to spend more time planning both the actual process of filming, for example the creation of our set took longer than anticipated and so wasted time, and we at some points struggled to find good locations for the narrative. It would also have helped to plan the actual shots better, although we planned key shots such as the spinning shot, a lot of the others were spontaneous and at points during editing we were left wanting footage.
