What I'd do differently next time?

If I was to improve our coursework process next time particularly the planning and formation of our music video, I would:

- use even more locations to make the video more identifiable as rock. For example the use of an actual stage or a grunge looking area, as it would define our video a lot further (making it 100% genre specific)! 

- besides just cutting to the beat of the music and only producing performing shots, we could have included more shots purely of the instruments, because it would make the video less set on advertising the artist's image but solely the music itself (something we wanted our video to display from the start of our process). 

- although we used numerous shot types especially towards the end we got some really extreme high shots filmed, I feel that if I was to redo our shot types I could definitely get some more intriguing ones in (tilts, extremely low...). This would have again made our music video more intriguing to the audience as part of the rock genre, because rock is fast, extreme and daring and these shot types edited together quickly may have amplified this.

However if I was to redo our music video, I would keep:

- the theme of not being someone's game anymore, as I feel that's what the lyrics are all about. This includes our use of the rubix cube, as this is a prime example of a game (the artist) that depends on manipulation and constant change in order to finish (to please others). 

- the use of coloured lights to portray the coloured blocks found on a rubix cube and the way that they also resemble the loudness our artist is currently creating to break the silence of her long kept mistreatment (whether that's from her boyfriend, family, friends or work...). 

-the speedy editing used to reflect on our chosen genre rock, which is of a speedy nature (with lots of fast beats and lyrics).
