Today we filmed American Boy. we used an empty classroom as our location as it gave us more privacy and room to manouvre. We learnt a few things from the experience:

1. That lip syncing is a difficult job!
2. Timing is key for a successful video
3. Editing takes lots of time and effort
4. Locations are key in creating a beleiveable story
5. Clear direction is needed in order to not cause confusion
6. The song choice is very important

I feel like doing this activity, as well as the digital driving test and phonecall vdeos, has really improved my planning, filming and editing skills., I now feel that I am ready to start planning my own video and feel much more confident in doing so. I will make sure that the lip syncing is perfect, use good locations, choose a sensible but dynamic song, and make sure I spend lots of time editing.
