To practice my skills as a director, cameraman and editor, I created a parody of the classic video of Britney Spears ' Hit Me Baby One More Time'. As part of my research and planning, I was able to learn that while filming videos, most of your well laid out plans don't always come to past as inspiration from the surroundings help create more space for creativity and improvisation. While editing, my work, I learnt that it is more sensible to film at least three versions of each scene because some scenes may not turn out the way you planned or the way you imagined so having a back-up for each scene makes it easier to edit; a variety is sensible. Furthermore, I learnt that if making a video includes artists singing along with the songs, it is better to get them singing many different parts of the songs- not just one specific part as it causes a dilemma of insufficient timing. If while shooting, the artists only mimes to one specific part of the song, that is the only footage that you are able to input in your editing where the artists sings with the song instead of a variety of sections. Overall, I enjoyed the filming and as director, I was able to not only be creative, but think on the spot, be patient and work well with people who I was open to for suggestions.
