Evaluation
1) Why did you choose this particular recreation and how does it link to your main production?
We chose this recreation because we feel that the theme and general music genre is what can be a good platform for all the members in our group to express their critical investigation link to. For me, it is more to do with the overall theme of the music video rather than the visual element. The idea that there is a group on youngsters dressed very intimidating creates this theme of horror and psychopathic element which can link to my critical investigation.
2) What difficulties did you face in producing this recreation?
The main problem was the fact that there was too much noise in the shot. By noise, the fuzziness of the night background ruins the shot of the scene being recorded. The camera settings needed to be adjusted in order for more clearer images to be recorded. In addition, trying to capture a scene that would be edited in a specific way is hard to capture as we were only seeing the edited version of the clip, and therefore it lead to many more takes in order to capture the appropriate one.
3) What are the strengths of the production?
I managed to replicate all the shots and camera movements from the original video clip. Not only this, but the editing such as the old grainy aesthetic was also added in, just like the original video. In addition, I managed to get hold of the clothing and props that the original music video had, things such as gloves, the jacket and the bandannas were all things that contributed to making this video good.
4) What aspects would you look to improve?
Being more prepared when it comes to settings of the camera, as it would have made a much better outcome in terms of quality of the video. Furthermore, camera movement should be less still and more shaky, as if it is purposely hand held, as it is a key element in creating a music video.
5) What lessons will you take from this process that will help you with your main production?
I will ensure that I bring a better quality camera, and that the appropriate settings are put on, when it comes to recording either in daylight, or during the night. Furthermore, more music video edits such as speed, and glitch effects are all techniques used to make a successful music video, and this should be learned when it comes to the actual production.
6) Now that you are ready to start your actual linked production, explain clearly what you will be creating and how confident you are in delivering this.

The preliminary has given me so much confidence in producing a very solid and professional style music video. This is because the exercise was my first attempt at making a video of this kind. However, post production is something that should be more of a challenge, as I have only had a glimpse of what its like to edit a music video, whereas there is way more editing techniques out there that are used. The video we plan to create is a grime music video, that has the "Harlem Spartan's- Call Me A Spartan", with visuals inspired by "Block Popping" used to aid us in what visual direction we are going for when it comes to the video itself.
*Note: Linked production isn't settled until props are confirmed, as we need superhero masks and "guns" in order to link everyone's productions together*
