Dot Rotten- Determination (A2 Media)

This is the first draft of our A2 Music video filmed and edited by me, Sage and Joseph.

Please leave some feedback on how we can improve this video.

Determination BTS Promoter Scene

In this behind the scene vlog we were filming the promoter narrative scene where the artist does not get paid enough for his gig and he has an argument with the promoter that is paying him.
This scene was a lot easier to film since we were indoors for this scene but there were a few background issues where you could see me filming by looking at the reflection of the window. But then we were able to find a different position which was a lot better and got us a good angle and good footage.

There were a few distractions such as people walking past and getting in the shot but thankfully that did not happen as often.

In this behind the scene vlog we were filming outside and this was the scene where the artist is beginning to find himself and begins to gain more success.

It was not difficult filming this part of the video but because it was really cold and the artist had to film wearing just a T-shirt, jeans and his trainers he found it hard performing because of how cold it got. But eventually we did get through it and he performed really well and we got some good footage.

Inspiration From Videos

Before we made our music video I had a look through current Rap videos and editing techniques used in these videos such as transitions, special effects and different camera angles to use on our artist.



In this video i really liked the slow motion shots and fast pace cutting. This gave me an idea for fast cuts for the start of my video just before the beat drops for a buildup effect.


In this video i liked the effects on each part of the video. The video had good transitions such as fades and special flashing effects which i felt like i could incorporate in my video.



In this final video i liked how there were fast pace cuts in the video and camera angles cut to the beat every time and you have a lot of different transitions.
