This was a 9 week group project to create a music video for our assigned song, which I completed at college. We were given a song ('Over it') and an artist (Lola Kastner) to work with for this project. We were also assigned specific job roles within this project.

My main role in the project was that of the Art Director, who typically responds to the director's brief creatively. An Art Director is usually in control of aspects of the production such as set design, makeup and costume. Due to circumstances, I completed the rest of the project, after the treatment, independently. This meant I also took on the roles of cinematographer, director and producer. As my work was tripled, I tried to make the rest of the project as realistic as possible so I reduced the number of actors to one and reduced the number of locations in the shoot. I also created the final edit that you can view to your left.

The final result was an aesthetically simple, heartfelt piece that met both the project brief and the requests of the artist. However, due to the limitations of shooting as a one-man-band as well as time constraints, the video could feel a bit static at points. This was audience feedback that I received, which I completely agree with and also felt during editing. If I had the opportunity to re-do this project or do something similar with a group, I would definitely ensure there were varying compositions and angles for each scene.
