The purpose of this exercise was to recreate, roughly the first 30 seconds of Britney Spears ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time.’ This acted much like my continuity exercise for my AS, it was a preliminary task in which helped familiarise me with various aspects that would come from creating a music video.
Before filming i analysed, roughly the first 30 seconds of the 'hit me baby' music video. Once done we could see what type of shots needed to be filmed & roughly the length that each scene needed to be.
We had to also decide on things like locations for certain shots, who would act as Britney and also choreograph a small routine. As a group we then filmed the necessary scenes, however for the lip-syncing we needed to play the song aloud while filming. We got a docking station and played the song while we filmed as a person mined to the song. It was important to note that the song she was mining to was the same version which was to be used to edit with.
From the task, what I learn most about was how to lip-sync the track to the footage on Final Cut Express. It's extremely important that I learnt these skills before hand as it means I have practiced how to lip-sync correctly and therefore can produce it to a satisfactory level on my own music video. Before I set out to do this task I didn't quite realise how many shots and work went into a music video but after doing this task i've notice that there are a lot more then I previously thought.
My re-creation of it Britney Spears 'Hit Me Baby' isn't exactly the same as the original however this is due to the fact that as a group we decide only to film certain shots as the exercise was for us to mainly to see;
- Amount of footage that goes into an MV
- How to & testing lip-syncing
- What to do when filming artist lip-syncing
- Editing a MV
For these reasons it wasn't imperative that we recreated the music video exactly the same.
