A.S & P.P-C - Reccie Evaluation

On Tuesday the 22nd of September, all media trips went on a trip to Brighton to complete a reccie for our coursework. Unfortunately, Nelly and I were unable to go, so we did our reccie on Thursday the 26th of September at St. Johns Park and on Southfield Road. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to upload our footage yet, but it should be uploaded tomorrow.

The aim of the reccie was to remind ourselves of using the camera equipment and to gain experience of completing a reccie in a possible location for our music video. We chose to complete the reccie in a park and also a road, as they are urban and a more relaxed environment, giving us a variation of settings. A shot that we were particularly interested in was the sped up footage of the cars, if a character was included we feel it would really contribute to the feel of our video, as it would be as if the world is just whizzing past our character, as the song is about a boy having a hard life. We also shot footage of Nellie walking forwards, with her back towards the camera and the sun shining down. The video was also really shaky due to no tripod, but we felt this gave a really nice effect to the shot. We edited this shot into black and white and we think this could also be really effective in our music video. Overall, we found this experience really helpful as we refreshed our minds, and we gained some really good shot techniques and ideas for our music video.
Here is the video below:
