Evaluation

Before we embarked on this project we were all given the task of going out and researching a pop promo that had already been released and to go and look at and review a few music videos. I chose to look at Jay-z and Linkin Parks jointly produced album collision course; I chose to do this partly because Linkin park remind me slightly of the band that we worked with (Distraction) due to the fact the band had such a diverse background of musical influences, but mainly because it was a hugely successful album and so i choose to work from the best example possible.

When making our video the group did have some creative differences between each other, one member wanted to make more of the love scenes, whilst i wanted to include more of the band. I wanted to do it like this because i think we chose a very simple easy narrative to follow that didn't warrant massive chunks of the video's time. I thought it would be a better idea if we made more use of the band; for example i came up with an idea to just get some shots of the band messing around and wanted to include more in the finished piece but the idea was turned down. Looking at the video now i think the correct decision was made at the time for the video, as the narrative is much stronger.
