Preliminary Exercise & Evaluation

1) Why did you choose this particular recreation and how does it link to your main production?

I chose this particular recreation as it was a K-pop song which links with my critical investigation of 'To What extent is the Korean music industry influenced by the western music industry'. Furthermore, as I plan to do have a similar theme of romance in my main production, by doing this recreation, it has helped me to have a starting point of what kind of atmosphere I need to create for my main production.

2) What difficulties did you face in producing this recreation?

Difficulties that I encountered when producing this recreation was finding similar locations to the actual locations. The pure white home setting was quite difficult to recreate as almost everything seemed very untainted and completely immaculate. Also, it was quite difficult to edit the lighting to match with the real music video as well as finding the same costume and props as the actors in the music video. 

3) What are the strengths of the production?

Strengths of the music video are that I managed to stick to the 30 seconds and rather accurately copied the music video.

4) What aspects would you look to improve?

I would like to improve the actual settings of the recreation to make it look more like the original and maybe direct my actors to act a bit more accurately to the original.

5) What lessons will you take from this process that will help you with your main production?

I think that planning really helped with my production as I knew exactly what each shot was and how to film it. Furthermore, I think finding the perfect settings for my main production will greatly help with setting the atmosphere that I would want to create.  

6) Now that you are ready to start your actual linked production, explain clearly what you will be creating and how confident you are in delivering this.

I will be creating a music video for a K-pop song  After the preliminary exercise, I feel much more confident in making this music video as I know the kind of settings and costume that I would need in order to create the atmosphere and tone of the music video which I would like to create.
