(Post 20) Final practice video task planning

One take video


We were set with the task of making a video in one take. We were told it had to be upbeat and we were given a choice of songs, and the one that we decided to use is Grace kelly by MIKA.
The video had to have at least 4 people in and at 10 seconds of miming as a minimum. The inspiration behind this task was the Okay go videos that are all really fun, and one take.
 Here is an example:






We decided to go with the idea of having one person walk, and different people join in while dancing as we thought this would create the happy feel we were going for. It was also the simplest idea to create as we only had 2 hours to complete the task, and we had to do it in school time and this idea enables us to make an effective video in the location of our school. Here is the finished video we created:





This was different from any task we have done before as you did not have the safety net of editing and just cutting out any footage that wasn't how you wanted to be, as the video had to be all in one take. Due to this you had to plan a lot in advance as it all had to go perfectly as otherwise you just had to start again. It was interesting to do as we didn't realise how much planning would have to go into something like this, even though it is such a simple concept.
