4. How do you think your prelim experience will impact on your approach to next term's music video coursework?

I think this prelim experience will have a huge impact on my approach to next term's music video as I have learnt some invaluable lessons from completing this task

Here is what I have learnt and how it will impact next years project:

• Timekeeping is very very crucial, especially on your shoot day. I learnt that you have to stick to a very tight schedule with all your shot and timings written down so that both the cast and crew know exactly when and where to be. It also ensures that things don't run behind so that we can get all the shots necessary in time and not rush towards the end and miss shots out. 

• We also had a call sheet which was also important so that we knew what time we had to be in and what time each rotation started. 

• I didn't realise just how much time, effort and dedication this project requires especially since we have to do it all ourselves next year. This prelim task really prepares you for this and you know how efficient and organised you have to be next year in order to produce a good music video. 
• Sticking to your edit schedule and getting as much of it done early on really helps because then you have more time to add creative touches to your shots and it also means you're not rushing towards the end
• Being organised and punctual is essential. If we're unorganised then it will have huge, negative impacts on our project. 

This prelim task has also made me appreciate all the hard work that our teachers and crew members put in to make this task a success for us.

Here is a time-lapse video of our shoot day which showcases just how much work is required to make a project successful:
