Editing Our Footage

Last Monday myself and Yas filmed the newest shot sequences for our music video. The quality of the footage is substantially higher in terms of lighting, costume, angles, timing and general camera work, however due to the lack of tripods some shots are a bit shaky. Myself and harry have manged to order the footage to make a base for our video. I believe that we will definitely have a rough cut of our music video completed by half term.

Incomplete video

This was our first attempt at our music video, it is not fully complete as this is just footage after our first filming session. The reason why we are starting again is because the main character doesn't have the same free time as us, therefore it is hard to set times and date for filming and as you may have noticed in this video she isn't familiar with this song therefore isn't knowledgeable of the lyrics therefore we found most of our time filming the video showing her the words and letting her practice remembering them.


Problems we encountered;

• lighting 
• lyrics
• available time
• organization
• planning 

My feelings about shooting so far

I have been thinking about the productivity of our shooting and have arranged a meeting with the members of my group, Yasmine and Harry, to discuss their theories and feelings about how successful the shooting process was, the productivity of our group so far, and also the quality of the footage we have produced. From the meeting, we have conclusively decided that it would be more efficient if I were to lip sync in the music video footage as the shooting will take place at my house, and I also know the lyrics to the song (this would ensure accuracy in the lip syncing process as we will not have to teach another person the lyrics). This would also increase our groups productivity and organisation skills. Therefore we have agreed to arrange to shoot new footage within the next few days.
