The most common shot types seen in music videos are usually master shots, close ups & establishing shots. Our group was able to achieve following the trend of having these types of shots and also making good use of them by showing a variety in our pre-lim video.
What is Vernallis Theory and how well did you follow it in post production?
Vernallis’ theory focuses on four key elements of music videos, narrative, camera, editing and diegesis. Vernallis re-enforces the idea that most music videos have a clear narrative through the use of performance.
However, the narrative for our music video does not follow Vernallis theory because the actions in the music video did not reflect upon the meaning behind the lyrics. Nevertheless, the editing did pursue the theory as continious editing was broken, constant use of jump cuts and also being able to have a rhythmic basis linked in with the song alongside the camera moving in sync with the music. We used a wide range of common shots as well as other basic shots such as mid shots and 360. We was successful in achieving the diegsis as we used a range of repeated shots to emphasise the importance of the lyrics.
For a first attempt, I think we did really well as a group trying to experiment and keep up with the Vernallis theory in post-production. However, I still strongly feel there is still enough room for improvement.

What are base tracks and why do most videos contain them? Evaluate how well you made use of them in your videos.
Base tracks are a set of videos from when you film the artist in the same location throughout the whole song. Base tracks are repeated when the shot type is changed. Most videos use them because they help put emphasis on a particular scene during the song. In our music video we used base tracks alongside a wide variety of shot types to portray the artist’s emotions as well as to promote them.
How did you use markers to help you lip sync and how successful were you/your group at lip syncing?
We edited our video using Final Cut Pro and the markers were very useful because when we had to match the video to the original song. The marker was a guide to know where to link the first words of the lip sync to the actual song sang by the original artist. This meant that when spitting the lip sync video there won’t be any mistakes following the storyboard. Overall, I think for our first attempt; the outcome was well circulate and produced making it successful.
