Overall I think that my experience using camera equipment and directing, creating and producing a two minute movie opening for my AS Media Studies has definitely impacted how I went around creating a music video. I was much faster in making decisions concerning the lenses needed for each shot and ensured most shots were filmed multiple times. This has granted me with the ability to pick the shot I most prefer, rather than being stuck with one I possibly dislike.
In hindsight I would possibly have been more careful when slecting actors to use in my filming as the two seemed distracted which only held up production times and meant it took longer to get through filming. I would also have written a script for my actors, as opposed to giving them instructions on the day. This is because a simple layout of what I needed from them would have given both actors time to analyse and prepare for this, though on-the-spot instructions may have caused confusion and lack of preparation time which may have made my music video less professional.
Another aspect of production i would change if I were to do it again, is ensuring it is all completed within the same day. This is because filming across two days means there will be differences in location, weather and appearances, no matter how hard I try to ensure there are no differences. I don't believe this would have affected my overall product too much, as I worked to ensure both actors had styled their hair in the same way as day 1 of filming, that there was nothing missing from their costumes, or nothing added. Issues arose when cars parked on the road of day 2 of filming that weren't there during day one, but again I do not think this will be noticeable in my overall product as the main focus of the shot was my actors, not the setting.
