Preliminary Task Evaluation


Evaluation of Short Music Video – Hashim Shah

In my music video, I have accidentally filmed one of my shots in portrait mode instead of landscape mode. The implications of this is that there are two black bars on either side of the video footage. I have edited the footage so that the black bars are filled with an enlarged duplicate of the enlarged video. This fills in the space of the black bars and makes the video more intuitive, as it gives the viewer more to look at.

In the music video I have also got some flicker shots, which show a brief 0.1 second shot of the video in inverted colours. I could have made the flicker shorter and included more of them to make them stand out more. In addition to this, the flickers are aligned with certain beats in the song which make them stand out more.

I filmed this particular music video on an iPhone 7 in 1080p at 30 frames per second. With the exception of the slow-motion shots, which were filmed in 720p at 240 frames per second. For ease of use, the iPhone was great to film on as it was extremely easy to switch between slow-motion and normal video recording. 

Video footage is easily able to be trimmed in the camera roll app on iPhone, however for this short music video, I used iMovie. The iMovie editing experience was incredible as it has many different transitions and effects to choose from. Video is easily able to be trimmed, moved around, footage is easily to be split, reversed, sped up, slowed down etc.

Some of my shots are filmed in the dark, which made them quite difficult to see when it was transferred to iMovie. However, iMovie allowed me to brighten my video footage accordingly. It was easy to brighten my video forage as there is a vast selection of filters which makes it extremely simple to choose which one to use and apply it to the whole video or certain sections which need brightening/darkening.

Emeli Sande – Heaven music video analysis

Emeli Sande – Heaven – Hashim Shah – Media In the music video to ‘Heaven’ by Emeli Sande, most of the camera angles are directed at her. They hone in on her face and other faces of people that she might encounter on a day to day basis. At various stages through the music video, new people are introduced and are followed throughout the video. As the video starts the people look quite sad and are possibly in unprivileged circumstances. The camera angles are also directed towards their faces, with the intention of showing their glum facial expressions. Throughout the video whenever Emeli Sande appears in the video, she is miming the words to her song whilst sometimes using hand movements to express how she feels towards the song. As the video progresses, their facial expressions begin to lighten up, and the background’s become brighter. Previously, the backdrops to the people were of dark streets / street lamps / beds in the street. As the video progresses the, backdrops are...
