What did you find the most challenging and why?
The most challenging part of the task for my group was finding a setting that directly matched the office environment of the original video. In the end we had to use a corridor and a makeshift "office" sign to create the closest thing we could to the original. It also took some time for our performer to fully learn the choreography of the original piece however this was done successfully.
What will you do differently when you make your A2 product next year?
In my actual product I will definitely attempt to make a more conventional video than the single shot video that we tried to replicate in this task. I will also try to put more time into planning and preparation to allow myself to have a thorough and simple plan of what i want to do when filming.
How has this task helped you and why? What have you taken from this experience?
One of the main ways in which this task has helped is in giving me experience of using a video camera and teaching me the importance of getting the right shot when filming and planning appropriately.
How successful was your product? Was it successful or unsuccessful?
While we struggled in getting the exact mise-en-scene of the original video, I believe our product was mostly successful in replicating the original "Lonely Boy" video and its simplistic nature.
How do you feel about developing to A2 level now you have completed this task?
Completing this task has made me more confident about advancing to the A2 task as I now have experience in filming and editing video and it has shown me that if you put the work in, good results are possible.
What do you like most/least about your final product?
I am predominantly happy about my final product. I believe we have captured the simplistic nature of the original video and the single shot that makes up most the video is accurately framed. The only things I dislike about the product is the incorrect font used at the beginning of the video that we couldn't get hold of and as I mentioned; the setting wasn't a perfect replication of the original video. But apart from these two minor details i am predominantly happy with the state of our final product. .
