Prelimiary Task

In our prelimiary task we were set a task to create a short music video on the song "Dont go breaking my heart" by Elton John and Kiki Dee.

We were given a HD camera and the usual equipment such as the tripod and the tape to create our own prelimiary task. We went into a classroom and used our teachers computer, so we could get the music up on youtube. the video we found had music and lyrics, so it was easy for the two singers Beth and Joe, while myself and Tom filmed them.

We were advised by our teacher to keep the tape running and once the song had finished, to go back to the start and just start to sing the song again. This meant that there motivation with the song didnt stop and each take got better and better. We had taken 3 takes of the song and it was in fact the last one is what we used.

This video clip is of youtube and was the video that we used to complete our preliminary task, it includes the music and the music to guide us through the song. We placed the camera next to the overhead projector screen so it looks like Beth and Joe are looking at the camera at all times when they are in fact looking at the lyrics on the screen.
