‘You Don’t Own Me’ by Lesley Gore

Music Video Reflection What do I think went well? - I was really pleased with the lip syncing in my video. I think that I managed to get the lip syncing perfectly in time and I persisted to make sure that it was in time with music. What have I learned? - One thing I learned from making my music video is that it's difficult to find somewhere to make your video. I did mine at school because another problem I encountered was finding people that would be in my video outside of school. Because I was limited to making my video at school, it meant that the all the shots were obviously at filmed in a school which effected the mise-en-scene. To improve my video I could've made more of the fact it was filmed in school by having the Lucie and Sam, the actors in my video, wear school uniform and have school books. This would've created much better mise-en-scene and it would've made more sense having it filmed in a school. Next time I will film my video in a different place and ask the actors in my video to wear costumes to add to the mise-en-scene. If you encountered problems, what were these and how could you avoid this next time? - I wanted to have Romeo and Juliet intertextuality in my video and I feel like I could've made more of this. I used the love story as a narrative but I should've used key parts from the Shakespeare play to make it more obviously about Romeo and Juliet. I tried to create the effect of a balcony by standing over stairs in school, however this was difficult because it was in school. I could've avoided this by either filming in a different place or making more of the fact it was in a school. How could you improve? - Next time I would like to film my video in a different place. - Next time I would like to have clearer intertextuality.
