2) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher.

  • Good use of editing skills: shot/reverse shot
  • Very good tracking shot - steady camera
EBI

  • Needs music to engage audience 
  • Pan moves right to left - only pan one way
  • Make transitions look more professional 
  • Loses narrative 


4) Type up your feedback from fellow students.

WWW

  • Good use of shots
  • Variety of different shot types
  • Bloopers to show behind the scenes
  • Correct labelling
  • Good editing between high and over the shoulder shot
  • Good use of match on action
  • Tilt shot was good
  • Enjoyed the comedic aspect of the failed attempts 
  • Smooth transitions
EBI

  • Add background music 
  • Pan one way
  • Mute audio 
  • Make sure shots aren't blurry
  • Making recordings more steady


4) Now reflect on your work and write your own comments. Add three WWWs and three EBIs underneath the rest of your feedback.

WWW

  • Made it over a minute long
  • Range of different camera shots and angles
  • Bloopers provided entertainment for the audience 
  • Match on action
  • Correct labels 
EBI

  • Improve transitions used to make it look more professional (fade to black)
  • Add music

5) Learner response: think about what you learned making the video and also watching others. What will you do differently when you start the coursework later in the year? What tips or tricks have you learned from others that you can use next time? Are there any specific aspects of camerawork that you need to revise or practice?

  • Choose a better location 
  • Use sound effects to engage the audience

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean blog tasks

Media Magazine reading:  Billie Jean , birth of an icon Go to our  Media Magazine archive  and read the case study on  Billie Jean  - birth of an icon (MM62 - page 20).

The budget was $50,000, which was 6 times less than 'Beat It', which went into production 5 weeks later with a budget of $300,000. Thriller was much bigger with $2mill to spend.  2) Why was the video rejected by MTV? It didn't suit their 'middle America' audience, meaning because Michael Jackson was black. The president of the record label then threatened to take all their music videos off MTV, which afterwards MTV backed off and allowed the video to be played. 3) Applying Goodwin's theory of music video, how does  Billie Jean  reflect the genre characteristics of pop music video? The music video seems to have more of a film genre connection, as music videos
