As a group we decided on the music video by Bruno Mars 'When I Was Your Man' for our preliminary task as an experiment for a music video. The preliminary task will help us to understand how the concept of filming a music video works and provide us with a test run before we decide on the real product. The genre of the song is pop with a slight classical tune to it due to the piano throughout the song.
By selecting Bruno Mars' music video for this song, it provides us with a relatively simple filming technique for roughly 30 seconds as the location is situated at one place (at a piano). We will use Danny from the group to replicate Bruno in the video and he will attempt to lip sync along to the music as a test run. To allow Danny to be able to lip sync to the song, we will play the song aloud when filming and when editing, we will delete the sound from the video, especially as when the piano shots are displayed, we don't want the sound of the piano from Danny to play against the actual song.
