Reshooting (4th Feb)

Today we went to Danson to reshoot the sections that we needed to do. This included taking more shots of me singing the chorus section as we used the same one and it was very repetitive. We took a variety of different shots which we feel is a lot better, the weather was also a lot better and sunnier which makes it look better too, and even better than the first ones.

We filmed me singing the first section of the song as the teachers said this was needed, and we still used the map in the shot to apply to Goodwin's theory of a relation between the lyrics and the visuals.

We also took a shot of meg singing the background section as this needed to be replaced and also give her a part in the band as it didn't seem like she was doing anything.

We took more 'selfies' too as the teachers felt that this was a lot more fun and charismatic which is what we wanted to present in our video.

Editing

Today I converted the clips that we filmed yesterday and I also took out the 'why the hell it mean so much to me?' section as we reshot this. I also tried lightening one of the shots as it was really dark and now it fits in a lot better. We are all editing different sections of the music video so that we all get to have a chance at editing, however we are all discussing the editing together.

Today we filmed at Megan's house, we re-filmed the section where I sing 'why the hell it mean to much to me?' and we are really happy with the way it looks as it's a lot brighter and more comfortable. We also filmed other parts where we run to the camera but it was getting dark so we might have to reshoot or film it again. We filmed the other sections where I need to sing and of the cars driving past which we will speed up. We still have more filming to do, we are going to London on Sunday and we have the whole day to get lots of shooting and locations done. I am quite happy with the progress we are making and we are going to edit. what we shot today, tomorrow.

Today we went to Danson to film for our music video. We got a lot of shots done and we are really happy with the way that some of them look. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great but we still continued to film and we will use the footage as it is the performance section which is separate to the rest.

We still have a bit to film but we have planned when we are going to do this.
Next Tuesday we have a few more bits to film and then on wednesday we are going to two locations to film. Our last and final filming needs to be done at London which we are planning to do hopefully next Sunday as we need to get it all done.

Test Shots/Videos

Editing

I have started to convert the clips, that we filmed yesterday, so we can use them in the editing of the music video. We are going to review over the clips so that we can choose the ones that are best suited and that will work best into the music video. Once we have chose them we can begin to construct the beginning of the music video.

Today we went filming in our lessons for our music video. We went to danson park and filmed several shots, these included one of the signs that we needed for the intro; our jump cut; tilting to the light (which we changed to one person); point of view spinning shot; band spinning; walking past and away from the camera and a point of view shot on our shoes. We still have more shots to take in danson park as we wouldn't of had enough time to do it today, but we know now exactly what we need to film as we have been ticking off the shots as we go along. The weather was quite good today and it looked very autumny which heightened the portrayal of our indie genre. As we were not able to film in London the other day we have planned to do this at the end of December or beginning of January as it will be a lot emptier. We are going to start editing in tomorrow's lesson so I am very happy with the overall outcome of the beginning of the music video filming.
