Making of 'In the sun' by she and him


Both of the media classes worked together to remake the music video of a song called ‘In the sun’ by She and Him. Our task was to copy the video exactly as it is. The female main role was played by Molly and Jade. The male main role was played by Jack and Me. The first bit when the Main male character is walking down the corridor was filmed in the geography block. Valeska and Lewis were filming the whole thing. Valeska was also in charge of editing. The most interesting experience was the bit with hoola-hoops. We had to find a way of filming this from a bird eyes view. We used a ladder for this. It was quite tricky but it worked in the end. We also had to synch the whole video perfectly with the original video. This was the hardest bit in the whole process. It was however good as we learned to be very precise. Unlike the videos we did in AS media, there were a lot of fast cuts in this video. The problems we have faced were also very much different. We have never came across lip singing in AS. We also never copied anything in AS whereas we had to produce a good copy of an already existing video this year. Josh has played the part where the guitar solo is played. This was also fairly difficult for him as he had to learn how to play this in the right tempo and time. I think the main mistake we have made during the production of this video was that some characters were played by various people. This especially includes the two main characters. This is a huge continuity issue and it can’t be repeated in the production of a real coursework project.
