4.1: PLTs
Independent Enquirers.
1) Identify questions to answer and problems to resolve.
Before proceeding with the record unit, there were many things that I wanted to find out about the history of record and how the recording technology has developed from the very first recording equipment to now and the factors that have influenced these developments. Also I wanted to find out about the different types of camera shots and camera techniques so that whatever I found out could be applied to the creation of my own music video. I was also interested in finding out the skills needed that could compliment the making of a film. 6) Support conclusions, using reasoned arguments and evidence.
In order to find the answers to these questions, I had to do a lot of research and gather information from what I found. I used predominately internet resources to find out some of the information and also I interviewed industry professionals with experience to find out a lot about cameras, skills and the history of record. In order to show my findings, I put the information that I found out in to a file to show my understanding of it.

4.1: Music video - sample audience 1.
Anonymous reviewer.
- I think that your storyline has a great build up with continuous suspense that will keep your audience wondering. I like the fact that your video sounds unique and different with a completely different approach to music videos altogether. Its not your typical music video. I love how it ulimately has an optimistic and happy vibe even though it involves bullying!

4.1: Camera Shots
There are 3 types of shots in terms of shot sizes. They are a close-up, a medium shot and a long shot. These can then be broken down even further! Which are:
Extreme longshot,
Medium longshot,
Medium Close up,
Big close up,
Extreme close up.
Establishing shot: Opening shot or sequence, which is used to set the scene and establish where the scene is taking place. (Usually an extreme long shot.)
Two shots: This is when it includes two individuals in order to establish the relationship between them which provides us with understanding of who they are and status.
A point of view shot (POV): It is a shot which shows what that individual/character sees from their own personal view.
Angle of shot: It is the direction and height from which the camera scene takes place. For example a high angled shot could be used to show the aftermath of a disaster that has happened and familiarise us with the damage that it has done and the vulnerability of the people.
Master shot: a shot which shows all of the characters or people.
Panning shot: is where the camera moves slowly or quickly from side to side from a fixed axis.
Tilt shot: a tilt shot is when a camera moves up and down from a fixeed axis.
Crane shot: where the camera is mounted on a crane and moves around the area.
Tracking shot (or dolly shot): where the camera follows the action moving along tracks.

2) Lighting for film
3) Editing
4) iMovie.
5) Sound in film.
6)Storyboarding
7)Camera shots

4.1: Expert advice - Creation of a music video
The making of a music video - House of Cards.
James frost - director,
Yon thomas -director of photography,
Aaron koblin - director of technology
Aaron Koblin used ideas from a research project that was done by the students in UCLA university. That was the inspiration for the effects that were used throughout the video.
In order to create it, they used 3 different systens which was a Geometric Information System, a Lidar and Laser technology. They also have other technology that can help them to distort images.
The cameras that were ordered didn't arrive on time for the video shoot so as an alternative they used computers. This was very resourceful and was a good use of technology.

4.1: Expert advice - New York Video School.
In order to get a real strong feel of the music and to be able to understand it, you should lock yourself in a room, take a notepad and just listen to the song various times. When listening to the song, you should write whatever comes to mind when you hear the song.
You should then ask the musician if they have any of their own ideas in which they would like to see portrayed in the video and you can then intertwine these ideas to create something great.
- Their are some videos which are story-driven which are effective for the audience or may reflect the lyrics of the song. They are videos that portray a story within them.
- Their are also performance-driven videos which is often used by rock bands as sometimes that is something that the audience wants to see in the video. They are very economically driven videos.
- You can also do videos that combine both performance and story-driven ideas which is also really effective.
When choosing actors to perform or act in your video you need to choose ones that are good at acting rather then just using your friends.
