Wairua Music Video Part 2

Wairua Music Video

This term we have been practising a song and dance for the song Wairua.
We have finished all our filming for the video and our audio, now we just have to edit it together.
We had to wear black and white outfits and it was really fun to film but a bit scary.

Here are some photos of rehearsals

What are we learning? We are learning how to film a music video, dance, and sing to a Maori song for Matariki.

What am I finding challenging? Being in front of the camera.

What do I need so the class can be successful? To try even when it gets a bit difficult or if I don't want to be on camera.

I really like this song because the artist that is singing has a really pretty and strong voice.

I like the style of the song and the way the song is set out.

The beat of the song is really pretty.

I like the lyrics in the song.

I think the song is about someone she like and that he has blue eyes and she cant stop starring at them.

I think the style of the song is pop.

I would include more shots of different things cause all the same shot can make it a bit boring

I don't really like this song because it sounds really cheesy.

I don't like the lyrics to the song.
