Role Diary of music video

                    Maya: Director Role 

For my group 'Young Empire's' the role I took on was an Director for my Music Video my role and come up with an concept and an idea of the music video, which more performance than narrative. the idea was an artist clapping back to the haters. As a Director I had to do Location Recce, Shooting Script and Production Schedule. As a Director there is a lot of responsibilities to take on, for example the client make sure everyone arrives on time and making we have all the equipment needed. 

My experience as a Director was interesting as learn my strength, was give clear instruction. Another strength was that I was good at communicating with the artist and the team. However, my weakness was not planning out which shot we can do first on the shoot first day of filming and timing of day as got dark very quickly.  

Overall, as a Director next time i would improve to be more organised with the shots making sure that all the equipment is working e.g, LED lights as they were broking and we use our flash lights on the shoot. Another thing i would improve is use more equipment such drone to use and use an arch shoot as i did not use in this shoot. But, However the things I done well is that i was organised, making sure i communicated properly to my group and artist and making sure we stick to the deadline.
