HIT ME BABY - Clock and bell shot

These are closeup shots of clock and bell exactly like from the video of Hit Me Baby

HIT ME BABY - First Shot

The first shot begins with a tracking shot. When filming this shot, my group decided to do it without a dolly because it was not available therefore we had to keep the camera very steady in our hands and take this shot very carefully.

HIT ME BABY - Editing

The first shot begins with a tracking shot and then the clock appears. This shows the passing of time. The clock is a close-up shot which makes it clear to see. This also makes the video different from other music videos because the narrative starts before the main music itself.

The narrative is still continuing and we can see this through the events taking place such as the school bell ringing.

HIT ME BABY - Video

This is the video of 'hit me baby' by Britney Spears. This was done as a practice before doing my real music video. I choose to do this video as a practice because it includes a lot of shots and through it I can see how music videos are edited.

During filming this video, the first problem I had was to think of all the different locations for certain shots, for example, classrooms, lockers, corridors. I had to think over the shot and work out its duration according to the music video which I choose as a practice.

This video has helped me a lot and I now know how to do editing of my music video. The main task is to include music conventions, for example, I have to have a narrative for my music video and I have to film by having more than just one location.
