Post Production
This is our remake of Busted - That's What I Go To School For
When editing this video i found it quite difficult because the groups were quite big so we split into smaller groups to edit different parts of the video. But it was hard because when i went to edit i wasn't sure what had already been done. Also, finding the time and splitting the time equally between us all was really difficult.
To edit the music and the video to make sure that the lip syncing was in sync with the music was really difficult, especially because we hadn't filmed a lot of the more difficult shots, so we had to make more time on other clips.

Production
When filming it was hard to have continuity because we filmed over two days because we didn't have enough time in one lesson, because this was done in lesson time.
People who were there on there on the first day weren't there on the second day or didn't bring costume. Harley (Matt) had his hair cut between the days so we had to re-film parts with him in we had already filmed. People's hair and make-up was also different because of the different days. Because the room we filmed in had been used between the days filmed the tables and chairs were in slightly different places and the mise-en-scene was slightly different. The weather was also different.
Because we had very limited equipment compared to the official video it didn't look exactly same.
Timing and lip syncing was also an issue because we had the song on very quietly through a phone for the first day and still quiet the second days because of our limited equipment and facilites. The boys found it hard to move and lip-sync at the same time, so this made us waste time because we had to film over and over.
The costumes used on the video were all exactly the same but because we were given such short notice to prepare for this we had to just get what we could so as a class we didn't all match.
In the official music video there are a lot of people in the class and dancing outside but because we are a small class anyway this was hard because we needed one person to film, one person to direct and one person to make sure everything was safe. This made the class even smaller but people also forgot costumes or were away so this made the cast even smaller.

Pre Production
When planning to film the music video there were things we needed to take into account such as safety and continuity.
Safety was a really important factor to take into account when planning the music video. The first thing I thought of was that there could be loose wires from the camera, this was cared for by just checking around when acting so nobody fell over. There were sheets of paper and books also included in the video so people had to be safe and make sure they didn't get any papercuts. Girls in the video were chewing gum when filming so they had to make sure they were safe and didn't choke on it. When the projector was used there was a vital rule not to look directly into the light because it is powerful enough to blind you, so people had to be safe when the projector was on. When the three boys used guitars when filming and had to jump in the air with them, they had other people around them so they had to be careful not to hit themselves, each other, or the dancers behind them, they also had to make sure the strap was firm to stop the guitar falling on their feet. People used pens and pencils during this music video as well, so when they used them they had to to be careful n ot to stab themslves. When Harley (who played Matt) dropped his pencil on the floor he had to be careful to hit his toes, and when Vicky (who played the teacher) bent down to pick the pencil up she had to bend her knees to be careful not to hurt he back and also not to stab herself. She also wore high heels so when she had to walk up and the isles between the desks she had to be careful not to fall and hurt herself. When she walks down and runs her nails down Neil's (James') arm she had to be sure not to sratch him. When Harley (Matt) has to barge through a group of students he had to make sure he didn't push them too hard and the people being pushed knew when he came through so they were prepared.

The Video
This is the official music video of Busted - That's What I Go To School For, which, as a class, we had to re-make.
Busted Music Video
As a class, we were set a prelim task to concentrate on the video; Busted - That's What I Go To School For. For this we had to do two seperate parts; in pairs film each other lip syncing to the first verse and chorus of the song, and as a class, recreate the music video up until 1.14 minutes.
