Research and planning

I think being able to plan and research has had a big impact on are final products. For example our music video i think we did the most research on Indie artists, this meant we could see the type of style they used in their own music videos abd we could get a good idea of what was expected and appeal to our target audience. We also researched Indie dress style whether they had narratives or not and where most of videos were set. I think this really helped our video come together and to give us an idea of what we wanted our music video to be like and to keep within our genre.
Planning our ideas abd thoughts on the blog meant we knew what we had to do on the day we shot our video. This made things easier and quicker and we were able to get extra shots, which really helped when we came to editing our video as we wanted a wide variety of shots in different locations.
I think this is why our opening sequence didn't work as well as we didn't spend as much time planning the different shots we needed and the narrative. We also didn't research as many opening sequences, espicially romantic comedies which is what we were doing. I think if we had this would have effected the outcome of our product.
