Looking Back..

Back in June this year, me and a few other media students remade the first 30 seconds of a chosen music video. We decided to choose 'I Want To Break Free' by Queen.

Not only did we remake part of the music video, we created a CD cover for the release of the single.

I learnt: 

• what a basetrack is
• how to edit a base track
• how to edit the music together with the video (that's one of the most important thing's when creating a music video)
• costume and design are also important. you wouldn't want too many costume changes because it could confuse the viewer, however you don't want no costume changes because then the video would look a bit boring if its the same outfit throughout.

It's very important to make sure that the lip syncing is spot on. If the singer is out of sync with the song then it ruins the concept of the video. I thought it would be difficult to edit together the song with the singers mouth however i found it quite simple and i'm glad i didn't find it complicated because now i feel confident that i could edit a music video without needing help.
