Prelim Task Evaluation

Camera
We attempted at getting all of the shots exactly right with the original vidoe. By watching the original clip in the corner of the screen, you can clearly see how some shots are not to the standard of what I wished.  A couple of shots were filmed unfocused, we didnt notice this untill the editing stage. For this reason some of the shots are not completely continueous.
Certain shots were impossible to recrate as we didnt have the space nor budget. The long wide shots of the classroom were not completely accurate as we didnt have as much space to get it all in.

Editing
I was incredible happy with the editing. In the previous year I did not have much opportunity to edit, Because of this reason I wanted to focus on my editing skills. Fourtunatle, members of my group were not present and I was given full opportunity to edit. I am pleased with the basic skills I have developed. However there are further skills I feel I need to produce when it comes to editing my music video.

Sound
This prelim task was pretty easy to work with sound, as we didnt have to acctually record any sounds. Whilst filming we did it insync to the music. Because of this reason when it came to editing we were just able to edit the music to match the layered sound track. this allowed us to get all of the clips perfectly insync.

Mise-en-scene 
When preparing, we wanted to cast as close to the originla cast and their clothing. Unfortunatle this wasent completely accurate. However we did ask some friends which looked like characters to joing in with the filming. We also used a black wig on rachel to create more of a realistic affect on her character.
When choosing the location we had a couple of classroom of choice. However, we wanted to create as much verisimilitude as possible, so we chose what resemberled the original one as much as possible. 
For lighting we struggled, as we dont have much opportunity to light the room in the way which it was lit in the originla video. we tried opening the curtains at a certain point but it unfocused the camera.
