Brighton Trip Evaluation. Jake Tomkins and Jack Clark.

We managed to learn a lot from the trip to Brighton, mainly from our own mistakes. Our attempt to carry out the sped up shot of the performer in a crowd did not come out the way we hoped it would. While the camera was filming us we were also moving quite a lot as the people walked past. This also speeded up our movements a long with the people walking past. If we do choose to use a shot like this in our final music video we would have to stand perfectly still for an extended period of time for the shot to be effective. Also a lot of our shots came out quite shaky when we captured them. So in the future we will have to use our tripod to enable us to keep the shot steady rather than using handicam. During the trip to Brighton we found some very promising locations that we could potentially use in our final music video. This is as Brighton is a very diverse place with many different types of locations, and very British looking locations which would be ideal for an indie music video. It was very helpful using the cameras once again after a year and I believe it was important to get this practice in so we can learn from our mistakes before we carry out our final music video. It was also good to refresh our memories on using the editing software Premier, which will come to good use when we come to editing the final piece as we will have prior knowledge. It was important for us to get a reality check of how good the cameras where and what equipment we have to work with. This as we can understand what we could possibly and not possibly do in our music video on a very low budget and a lack of equipment.
