Since I have returned back to college after the holidays, I have watched several past students work and as a result they have given me some inspiration for my own project. From looking at both A grade and D grade students work I have noticed that a faster pace song tends to work better and can be made more abstract and artistic rather than a slower paced song in which has to follow a story line, and made in more detail. What I found was that slower and longer footage tended to come across as less professional and almost boring. Therefore within my own work I aim to include lots of quick shots, which can be made more abstract against a fast paced song.
Another idea which worked well for past students is filming a live band, or having a band set up and let them mime against a less well known song. This works well in the way that it looks more professional, including both shots from artists and close ups from the instruments and abstract shots etc.
A final point in which I have picked up on is that it is better to choose a song that is less well known than one which has previously been in the charts. This is because when people watch a re-created music video from a well known song, they will compare the two closely.
