Jake Wynne Workshop

As a treat our media class had the opportunity of working with Jake Wynne, a music video editor and director. During the first hour or so Jake spoke to us about all the opportunities he has had and he also gave us advice on how to film our own music videos. For example, to film full takes of the song so that when it came to editing it would be easier to take out pieces from full takes then taking small takes and having to match them up. After a break we then moved on to preparing for our own music video to cover Robbie WIlliams' "let me entertain you' which Jake did direct himself. I was in charge of makeup along with Fran Batt, all the makeup turned out great and was linked well to the original video. We then set up the cameras so that we had different angles, and each camera was focused on one specific part of the stage. Each person in our class had a go at something, i.e camera, playing, singing, etc. Overall, the day was a great success and everyone really enjoyed themselves as well as learned a lot from Jake's advice.
