Alt J-Breeze Blocks evaluation

Alt-J Breeze Blocks Evaluation In my remake of the music video Breeze Blocks we had things that went really well while some things didn’t go as we wanted to. The things that went well in our music video I think is firstly the editing of the video, I think the effects like the flashing of the video whenever the singer goes “nah nah nah nah”. Also where I placed certain scenes in the music, when its calm the video shows peaceful scenes of Jordan and Elisha together, happy, and when the song picks up the pace and things start getting underway so does the video, the fight scenes start to begin and things start getting violent. Things we could improve on was firstly the filming, we had to go another time because of things like the scene being blurry or not catching want we want and I think we should have spent time doing it because we rushed it. The film followed mostly our storyboard and script; also certain things like the locations were changed due to us not being able to film because of things going on in the school at the time. In my music video we did what every music video should, made sure the scenes were fitting with the beat of the song , we conveyed a song making our music video making it a narrative video and made sure there were no boring blank scenes. In my group there were 4 people, me, Jordan Wardle, Elishia Selby and Matt Lumley Overall we performed well. I was firstly the camera man, I filmed the majority of the scenes alongside Matt Lumley who had the exact same role as me and filmed just as much as me. I also did effects like the rain with a water bottle out of the window which I thought was really good. Jordan and Elisha were the happy couple at the beginning who ended up fighting and end up with Jordan being arrested, I believe they both conveyed their characters well and gave a good performance. Before filming we did all our pre-production, we researched the 3 different types of music video: performance, narrative and conceptual. We looked at examples o each and wrote about why they fit under that category which overall gave us a better understanding of music videos and helped make our own. We somewhat recreated the scenes in the actual music video but in our own way using scenes the actual video does not like the couple in the past actually being happy, and in the video it’s not a couple fighting. From my peers my feedback was overall very good. The story was conveyed well, the video is face paced at the beginning and exciting and the scenes work really well on the part of the song they are on. Another thing I would do if we did it again is film more scenes, because of our lack of scenes I had to cut the song down and end it earlier on, which does work but I wish we could have used the full song.
