Q: What have you learned about the differences between constructing a music video vs a film opening?

From producing our preliminary task and looking back at the music video we created in AS. I feel as though music videos have more detail in terms of editing that needs to be done in order for a professional and smooth look such as when the audio is inserted and making sure that it matches up when the singer begins to lip sync as it is obvious for the audience to see.Therefore there is more emphasis on accuracy.

In addition to this the shots need to fit with the audio as placement can sometimes seem odd or mismatched as well as editing the shot changes to the beat of the audio.

I further found that the storyboard had to be more detailed in terms of the actions done and what lyrics are said in particular shots whereas the film opening was less concise in actions that would be performed and could easily be adapted on the spot.
