1. Who did you work with and how did you manage tasks
between you?
I was in a group with Jack Bezant and Tilly Hawkins and in
order to equally manage the tasks between us all before each lesson we had a
small talk between each other and decided between ourselves which tasks we
should complete. This enabled us to make sure that one person did not have more
work than another.
2. How did you plan your sequence? What process did you use?
To plan our sequence firstly we found the 30 seconds of the
music video that we wanted to recreate and then after that we completed a story
board, which can be found in the production diary and to make sure the sequence
was accurate time wise he added how long each shot lasted for and the time that
it appeared on the screen. Also when planning the filming the filming of our
sequence we completed shooting schedules so that we knew exactly when we were
suppose to be filming and what part of the video we were suppose to be filming
and this allowed us to not waste time and be as efficient as possible.
3.What theories could be applied to the video you chose?
There are a couple of theorists that can be applied to the
music video of 'Fancy'. The first theory that is shown and therefore can be
applied to the video is Laura Mulvey's idea of he Male Gaze as the first shot
is a panning shot up the body of Iggy Azalea within the 30 seconds we
recreated, causing the woman to be sexualised and objectified as for much of
that shot you don't see her face. However as she is deliberately looking down
the camera the video fits with the theory of exhibition and therefore Raunch
culture culture as to show power in the video she is using power as the source.
Also with the editing of the 30 seconds that we created, Vernallis' theory with
editing can be applied because by cross cutting between three different scenes it

Also with the editing of the 30 seconds that we created, Vernallis' theory with

makes the editing obvious. This further links with Goodwin's suggestion on
Thought beats as is evident when Iggy flips her hair in the corridor as it
makes the beat more obvious.
4. What technology did you use to complete the task, and how
did use it?
For the filming of the video we used digital HD handheld
cameras, for the still shots we put them on adjustable tripods, for panning
shots we handheld the cameras and for tracking shots we used a chair with
wheels in order to get a smooth movement along. When editing we used PC
computers with the editing software Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on. This enabled us
to cut, place and manipulate the footage that we had in order to make it as
close as to looking like the real as possible. Particular effects that we used though
were the Brightness and Contrast effect and the Auto Colour effect because it
enabled us to brighten and adjust the saturation in the corridor scenes to make
it closer to the high lighting which is in the original music video.
5. What factors did you have to take into account when
planning, shooting and editing?
When planning we had to take into consideration the
settings/ locations which we would be using and whether it would be realistic
for us to recreate or not and whether the we would be able to recreate the
actions which the artists complete realistically and believably. When shooting
we had to take into account the factor that people were going to be absent on certain days that we might have needed to
shoot in, so we had to shoot certain scenes on particular days, for example due
to Tilly helping with Year 6 induction days she wasn't in class all the time so
the day she was we ha to make the most of and film all of her sections in the
music video. Also as we were using other people that weren't in our group we
also had to film when they were free too and weren't in a different class
themselves. When editing a factor we had to take into account was that as we
were uploading different shots at different times, we had to leave the correct
length gaps so that we could fit in the other shots that weren't uploaded yet
and still keep the rest of the shots in sync with the rest of the original
video. kes the editing obvious. This further links with Goodwin's suggestion on
