Music video evaluation

Recently on our course we had to do a music video project where everyone in the class got into groups of 4 or 5 and made a music video. I teamed up with Eyyaz, Jacq and Mohammed.

The first thing we did as a group was research other music videos before coming up with our own idea and studied why they worked. We looked at things like the variety of shots that were used in a video, story lines videos may have had, visual effects and props, locations, the main message of the video if there was one and how the artists preformed.

After doing a bit of research we decided we would all individually pick a song and make up a possible music video idea for it and then at the end we would chose the best idea and develop on that specific idea.
Mohammed and Jacq couldn't really think of anything however me and Eyyaz had ideas. My idea was to do a parody of Kanye and Jayz's Ni**as in Paris song and Eyyaz wanted to do a first person story themed video to a remixed Daft Punk song by Glitch mob. Everyone in our group including myself though that it would be interesting and really good to try something different so we went with the Daft punk song idea as there were no lyrics in the song. After choosing Eyyaz's idea we then developed on the story.


My role in the video is the main character who picks up the package in oxford circus. The whole music video is the world through my characters eyes. Eyyaz's role was the man in the suit who chased after me to eventually end up killing my character. Jacq's Role in the video was tho help record and also act as Eyyaz's surprise partner in the video and finally Mohammed's role was to help record. The video was mostly edited by Eyyaz however me and Jacq had some input in the post production stage.


The video took us 3 weeks to get don because of the weather and also because not every one was free when we needed them to be. I think we should have made a weather plan to make sure everyone knew what days were dry and good enough to shoot on that way we could have possibly saved a lot of time. I think that we could of Possibly had the music video completed with in one week if we were more organised however I am pleased with the final video.
