Music Video

Producation Log: Week 9

This week we finished our whole music video. We made final changes to make sure that there was nothing that was out of sync and then we uploaded our music video to YouTube. We are happy with the outcome even though the end product wasn't the same as what we have planned in our shooting script. The story in our music video is communicated clearly. It is clear the song is about a breakup. The shots in our videos are cut to the lyrics as well as we could get them. The visuals match the tone of the music.

There were no problems major problems we faced this week as most of the work was done. We just had to finish editing and upload our work. As we had a trip on Tuesday we had less time than we expected. However this was not a problem as we didn't need as much time as we thought we did.

Production Log: Week 8

This week our final deadline was extended to next week Wednesday. We uploaded all the footage we recorded during the weekend and began editing it. At the moment we only have about 40 seconds worth of blank space. We have all the footage how we want it finally and so we don't need to record anything else. We also re-filmed the burning the shots in which we burnt Theo's picture. 

We were aiming to have all our footage on our track by Friday but he haven't got it all. This is because we had to rerecord a section of our footage because it was not done well when we first recorded it this weekend. We used Thursday lesson for this as Riteeka had a free period. We will have to take time after school to make up for the loss of editing time. Another problem we faced this week was final cut was not working as smoothly as it was in the past. It would not let us put in the transition we wanted to put in. In the end we decided to use a separate fade in and out rather than the cross fade.

Next week we will be working very quickly to finish the music video. On Monday we are planning to make sure there are no blank spaces left on the track. We will be using a free period on Tuesday to edit the video. And the final deadline on means that we will be using Wednesdays lesson to make the final changes before uploading the music video. 

Production Log: Week 7

This week Chloe and I continued to edit our music video. We got up to 1 minute and a half of the footage edited and now has just under half of it left to do. Due to the missing footage we are behind on the amount of editing we had to get done. We managed to get all the missing footage filmed. Everything we have done this week means we are close to finishing our music video.

As we were editing we came across a few shots that need to be re-filmed which we quickly solved by filming them this weekend. Another problem we had this week was that on Wednesday I had a history trip and so I missed the lesson leaving Chloe to film. And the next lesson Chloe was absent because she had an appointment. For this reason we had to edit alone and could not consult each other on the work. However this wasn't a major problem as we both know what we want the music video to look like. We both have a copy of the shooting script ad so could work without the other. On Friday we both looked through the music video and made sure we were happy with it.

Now that we have all the footage that we need, next week we are planning to finish our music video by Friday. Because we are a little behind on our plan we will be using our free time to edit such as afterschool and free periods. 

Production Log: Week 6

This week we have started our editing. We have got about a minutes video editing but we left a 15 second gap in between as we decided to change the video slightly as we were editing. While we were editing we concluded that the intro of the music video was shorter than we had wanted. we also thought that by extending the conversation the main character have in the intro the video would make a lot more sense. As a result we need to get a few different shots that we are planning to film on the re-filming days. 

While editing we realised that some of the shots need re-filming such as the conversation as the words were cut off. This time we will film the whole conversation from one side and then the whole conversation from the other side. This will save a lot of time, make the conversation flow more and make the editing easier. Another thing that needs re-filming was the lip syncing. Theo did not learn the song and so while filming Chloe had to stop and start the camera a lot to tell him the lyrics. because of this the lip syncing didn't match the song and so we will re-film that. 

Next week we plan to continue editing and do the re-filming on the weekend. We are planning to get most of the editing done so we only have the shots that needed re-filming left to edit. As we have still got a lot of footage left to edit we will be using time out class to get it done. We need to re-film shots 7-29 and all the lip syncing.
