From the Britney Spears video I have learnt that you have to shoot a lot more footage than I first thought I had too, because it all has to be edited down to fit into the right time frame, however shots may go wrong for loads of different reasons, such as the acting, the camera, the location etc, so you have to re-shoot to get the perfect shot, which can be very time consuming, with a 30 second shot could take 30 minutes to shoot for example.
Timing was also a problem, as when we had to replicate the Britney Spears video, the timing and choreography etc had to be exactly the same, or as close as possible to the video, which was sometimes hard to copy.
I have also learnt the importance of teamwork needed in this project, as last year we had to be very dependent with our work, this year we have to work with a group and work as a good team player to achieve the best grades, and this was learnt as we have to share responsibilities for the video, such as one person working camera, one acting in the video etc.
Doing the Britney Spears video enabled me to improve my camera skills, and also teamwork skills such as communication, organisation etc, which is vital for the upcoming project.
