This is our version of our music video which we edited as a group. We used our class feedback to gather the correct and most effective shots, and used experimentation to achieve artistic shots. I believe that this version of our video shows a significant improvement to our first understandings and attempts at a product of the Hip Hop genre. We, as a group, believe there is still room for small elements of improvement. We believe we could attempt to add more shots of our chorus artist Joel. And we believe we could edit where we have chosen to add our Black and White filters.

Joel Roberts A British RNB Artist aged 23, Birthday 7 th October 1994. Signed to Interscope Records 2011. Released singles: Forever (2011), Fly away (2012), Oh My Sh*t (2012), Yes Please (2012), No (2014) Released albums: Truth (2012) Appeared and featured in: Distinct’s album ‘The Essential Introduction’(2015) and Distinct’s latest Album ‘Judicial Independence’ in ‘Moment of Silence’(2018). 

We edited most of our final video at Ben Field's house however our draft videos were edited individually at school. I believe that when we edited as a group it was more successful and we were able to discus how to conform to the genre more in depth. Both scenarios  of making our draft and our final piece we used Adobe Premier Pro. 

These photos were taken whilst filming at Ben's house, I used a Nikon D3400 camera. It was easy for us to communicate to one another to achieve the best shots.

Obvious improvements i need to make to my music video would be to complete all of my shots and work on my editing to synchronize the visuals to my audio so that lips syncing is an effective element in this video.  As well as this we have received feedback to experiment more with editing and Premier Pro in terms of filters. In terms of our setting we decided to get rid of our setting of a forest/ wood like environment and use one that was a house space. To insinuate this we have decided to go with a room with a modern theme and then include items which are like a studio which will have Ben (Distinct) talking into a microphone and recording his song into the microphone. We believe as a group that because we have resulted to this we are meeting conventions and expectations of our genre more effectively. We have also decided to introduce a vocal artist to our video to perform the chorus. The only place they will appear with be the choruses of the song in video and be set in the White ...
