Music Video

Production Log Week 9

This week Monique and I had been given our deadline for Wednesday 18th  however there is still a small amount of filming that needs to be done and this can be completed along with the finished music video.  .The final part of the filming was completed and the final edit for the music video was exported as the final product. The music video was finished by the deadline although some re-shooting took part on the same day. More transitions were added and it was a cross dissolve to show at the end of them music video the artist was still in the same point in life but had just grown older also a honey comb texturing effect was added to rewind time in the music video as if something had occurred in the artist earlier life. This week I had also filmed with Connor in his music video the same time i re-shot parts from mine as the location at school was the same. There was only one minor difference in the music video is that at the end of the music video i am not wearing the blue hoodie I had been wearing throughout the rest of the music video. There was  trouble cutting to the beat so Miss Lowndes had spoke to us and helped with this problem however the only other problem was a small lip syncing part where Aaron was not in sync with the song and this was all  fixed by the following lesson when the deadline was so then the music video could checked to see if there were any other changes or improvements needed to be made and once all that was sorted Miss Lowndes gave Monique and I the permission to export the end product of the music video.

Production Log Week 4

This week Monique and I have been working on our call sheets and the hazards that will be in the areas in which we chose to film at. Also we made some adjustments to the schedule as the first one was not completed properly. We started filming in the studio for some of the studio shots in the music video which are the choruses, filmed at different angles. on Friday Monique and I have started to film at the underpass. Over the weekend a possible location we probably will start filming will be in a house and at the park for the intro. The studio shots in our music video have been completed however within the up coming week we may re-shoot if there are any problems with the original footage. We plan to get the music video finished by Wednesday 18th February but Sunday 22nd February the latest as we will be filming at all the locations during week as show in the production schedule below along with parts that would need re-shooting.

Production Log Week 8

This week Monique and I had managed to re-shoot parts of the music video that needed to be done in order to finish the editing by Friday 13th March for the final music video to be complete as this would have been week 2 for editing and re-shooting. Monique and I are planning to re-film some more of Aaron's parts that need to be redone include some of the shots that we missed out where he is needed. We are also planning to finish the live type graphics that will be on the music video ensuring our final draft is completed by Friday 13th March. We managed to re-shoot what needed to be done in the underpass like the walking shots and the part where the lip syncing needed some tightening up. The shots that were filmed were then added into the music video to fill in the gaps. The graphics we created on live type was then uploaded onto the final cut express and edited into the music video and also added some transitions such as fades to show where time had passed and the artist had grown up in the story of the music video. Some walking shots from in the underpass were re-done as there was a fault with the other shot where the artist was not fully in the shot and the type of weather and lighting was not the same. From our teacher we got the feedback that not many shots were needed to be changed.

Production Log week 7

This past week Monique and I have been editing the music video and figuring out which bits need to be re-filmed and changed. We managed to re-shoot the studio scene as it was free at the time needed. we filmed Me rapping into the camera from different angels to get a variety of shots to work and edit with to improve creativity with the music video. On Friday we plan to re-film some of the lip syncing bits at the underpass because the first time the lip syncing was not in time with the actual song. When editing we saw mistakes such as the camera being in the shot when Aaron was rapping in the mirror and combing his hair in a different shot. Monique and I also came up with ideas for live type and we created them however we did not have time to upload them onto final cut express as we had other filming footage to re-shoot and edit during the week. Some of the ideas for the filming had changed as we made some of the walking shots filmed in school because it was easily accessible and goes with the music video.

Production Log Week 6

During this week I have uploaded my footage from the SD card onto the mac and begun editing in final cut express. We have noticed that a few shots had been missing but can easily be replaced as most parts of the footage for each shot was over shot so it could be cut down and used as something else. We plan to re-film some of the lip syncing shots as some of them were not in time with the actual song and to add more effects to them music video. For the following week Monique and I will be working on Live Type for the graphics/typography that will be in the music video. We made the whole music video black and white by desaturating the colour. This week Monique and I spent most of our time on editing the footage and  coming up with ideas for the graphics to be made on live type.
