The main things I learnt from making the Britney Spears video are:
-the amount of time it takes to actually film all of the individual shots, along with having to remember to leave space before and after each shot to make editing easier.
-for the main task, within my group we will have to remember and allow enough time to re-shoot shots if needed, as when we tried to edit our shots for the Britney video, we realised some shots weren't perfect, whether it was the lip-sync that was off or it didn't match to Britney's video.
I really enjoyed the editing process; ensuring all the shots are the right length, shot correctly and matched to Britney's video. I think I enjoyed this the most because whilst doing it, I really felt the video was coming together and that we had all achieved something.
Doing the Britney Experience will hugely help me and my group when it comes to making our music video, as it has given us all the necessary skills to create our own video. Such as using the filming equipment correctly and editing all the shots. It also has given us an insight into how time consuming the entire process is, which helps us alot because when we come to creating our own video, we will know we need to allow for as much time as possible to perfect how we want our video to turn out like.
I thought my particular strengths was the actual filming off the shots, and I also enjoyed this as much as the editing. I felt this was my strong point as with the shots I had to film I felt I had a clear idea of how to match each shot to Britney's video, and I'm pleased with the shots I shot.
Overall, the Britney Experience will help me and my group massively with every different aspect involved in creating our own music video, from filming the shots to the editing. One thing however we will have to take into consideration is all the planning involved. With the Britney video we didn't have to create a storyboard and annotate it with ideas as it's already there ready for us to simply imitate. So when we create our own, we will need to think hard as a group and spend a considerable amount of time planning the overall narrative or concept, and then some of the individual shots.
