Music Video Editing

A really interesting take on the must dos and common pitfalls of music video construction.

Reading this will prove very informative.

So you probably should.

Once you have, post a comment below letting me know you;ve read it.

And here is another media dictionary.

  1. BUT SIR

    THIS IS TEXT HEAVY

    IT ISN'T AN INTERACTIVE POWERPOINT OR VIDEO

    I AM UNABLE TO INTERPRET THIS

    ...

    In serious, I've read this now. Particularly interesting - I admit to being guilty of breaking their advice re: filenames...

    1. Watch it, Michalak! /shakes fist

      Glad you're reading it.

      Will anyone else we wonder?

      I'm tempted to start putting really useful stuff up here and not saying over the summer to see who has the independent learning skills and habits that make for successful university candidates in an effort to gee up some of you methinks.

    2. This... could be an interesting experiment :D

      re: Audience Research stuff, am I looking for preferences in wider things such as whether people prefer conceptual/performance/narrative videos and which particular genres are popular, or more specific things like what tones people expect like level of lighting, how often we see the band etc.? Was thinking of making a thing on Polldaddy (both to collect a significant amount of information and so I can post screenshots of the results in charts etc. to satisfy the INTERACTIVE MEDIA requirements) but if the latter is what is required it may be difficult to word questions in a way that won't come across as leading.

    3. The wider you can go the better. The greater the breadth of detail the more you have to post about audience. GO for it all. Your audience mmight not give you as strong a set of data the more specific you get but that in itself will tell you lots anyway. Feel free to micro-survey as much as your heart desires.

      Bonus for use of polldaddy (real name Vote Coombs...oh my sides, they are splitting).

      Don't worry too much about leading, if you can avoid it brilliant but this will just give you a further area which to consider when discussing your audience research (which we'll discuss on Thursday).

    4. You can use a range of methods to collect data too,remember.

    5. Coombs? That's the Alternate Vote system which got rejected here a while back, right? I would feel for those who were supporting it, but I guess at least they got their second favourite option.

      Thanks for clearing that up, I can get on with this over the weekend now.

    6. I was thinking more that polldaddy sounded like Puff Daddy whose real name was Sean Coombs (or is, even) but if I've managed to make a substantially cleverer witticism than intended we'll just pretend I did.

  2. TL;DR.

    I'm kidding, I read it. The whole file name thing is probably something we should do, because it would just make things easier.

    1. Apologies. a rather brief and snooty reply (inadvertent, I promise) there caused by a range of issues though, most importantly, trying to use the sofa ans a mouse pad left handed whilst having a baby walker rammed into my foot.

      Thanks for reading it.
