First attempt at a music video: Katy Perry - Hot 'n' Cold

As a preliminary task we were asked to create our own video to a song. My group (Natasha Price and Charlotte Millar) and I decided that Katy Perry's Hot and Cold would be a good choice because we liked her quirky styles and ideas, and we thought it would be good fun as a first task. Researching into other Katy Perry videos we looked at her style and genre and tried to adapt it to our own video, and from there chose our mise-en-scene. As it was just a preliminary task we were limited to completing in during our class time and therefore it had to be filmed within school, but we worked with what we had and as a first attempt I think it was a good start. One thing I learnt was that the length of the shots were too long in quite a lot of scenes and comparing this to real media products it is very noticeable. A good thing about the video was that we tried to get several different outfits and settings as much as we could, which again from looking at other music videos seems to be an important thing. For the real product we will take what we've learnt from creating this video and correct the mistakes we first made.
