Excellent Preliminary Videos (Class of 2016)


Zibra: Eclipse starring Edie Murray, Liv Hughes and Shannon Hayward (Made by Edie Murray, Liv Hughes and Shannon Hayward)

The use of lighting in this video is very good. The group have attempted to recreated a challenging video and discovered 'work arounds' and 'quick fixes' to get a more professional look without any of the expense. The group used iPhone torches to cast shadows and illuminate backgrounds whilst also using lights from drama; this use of shadow is something which you could all emulate in you 'real' work next year. Shadows add interest and depth to shots which helps engage the viewer. The camera movement is fluid in the majority of shots and the vocal performance is also convincing.



David Bowie: Be My Wife starring Jacob Godsell (Made by Hannah Franks, Angel Dewing-Hall, Tom Crane & Jacob Godsell)

The framing in this video is very good, they've played close attention to the original and Jacob's performance helps 'sell' the product and ensure that it feels like someone other than Jacob. By attempting to emulate as much of Bowie's performance and style (the wearing of makeup and use of a costume ensures the performance is believable) the group have produced a good first piece of work.
