Class Music Video - My Role

As a class we were asked to recreate the music video, 'In the Sun' by She & Him, and my role in this task was being in charge of Costumes. I was glad to take on this role, as I see myself as an organised person and I felt that I was precise with each of the costumes, which lead to a successful day of filming. 


When I got the role of being in charge of costumes, I knew the first thing to do was to watch the music video quite a few times to see every member in the video and to see what they were wearing. After everyone in my class got their roles, I then went back to the music video and wrote a list of the names and characters with what costumes they were wearing and what costumes were needed for each cast member. 


Once, I had created the list as you can see to the left, I sent round an email to the whole class to make sure that people would check what they needed and if they couldn't get something I needed to try and locate these items. 

When it actually came to the day of filming I had to check that everyone had their right costumes, so I went to each person and checked if they did have the correct costumes. Also, I made that each cast member in each shot was wearing the correct costume, this make it a easier to recreate the music video and look exactly like the music video.

However, on the day of filming as I was organised with all the costume I was asked to be the photographer on set, taking pictures of all the people in their roles and also started to assist the Production Managers, as things got a bit chaotic on set and I felt that i could be there for them if they needed anything done. I felt that taking on these extra jobs showed that I was an organised person and that I always got the job done.

Firstly, I felt that I took my role of being in charge of costumes seriously as all cast members looked like their parts and I believe that this made the filming more successful. Also, I felt that taking on the role of assisting the Production Managers helped a lot as it shows that I was organised and that I could be trusted with any tasks they set me. Lastly, I felt that the parts I filmed were successful as they were different shot types and it almost challenged me and I felt that it had me more confident in using the camera, and prepared me for when I film my own music video.

EBI:I know for a fact that I can improve on my performance in front of the camera, as during this video I didn't want to be in front of the camera, but I know when I film my own video I will have to perform, so I could improve in my confidence. Also, I feel that I could do better in the storyboarding as my one wasn't that detailed and I felt that when I do film my own one I do want to be a lot more ogranised.
