Review before deadline

Feedback from our target audience.

From receiving this feedback we have decided to add some of the advice they had given us by making some of the scenes black and white to insinuate the emotional atmosphere created throughout the narrative scenes. Also we have decided to change some of the shots around and descend from day to night throughout the music video.

Targets for next lesson.

From the reflection on progress post for next lesson we are aiming to complete the whole of the song as in our rough cut it is only around 1 minute and 30 seconds long. 
We are also now starting to add our edits such as jump cuts, transitions etc to make the video flow better and have better technical aspects throughout so that the video is more effective.
However, the deadline is in just over a week so we also aim to do lots of more work outside of lesson time so that we can hopefully complete the video before the deadline.

ROUGH CUT

Reflection on progress

As you can see we have been using our Instagram account to update where we have been filming and any problems we are facing.

 We found that when we went to film Summer's single mum scene in the park it was very busy and we decided as a group it wouldn't be appropriate to film in this location. Therefore there was a similar park that was close to Summer's house that was quiet and much better to get the shots we needed.

This park is called Morton park and is located near Essex Road Station.




When we first started editing we put our clips into two folders the clips that we was going to use and the clips that we was not going to be using due to the quality etc. This was useful as we could identify our clips easier when it came to editing, we also decided as a group to rename each clip so that we did not have the problem of having to look at each clip individually.

From doing this everything was going really well.... then we realised that because when filming we used the the music app 'Soundcloud' to play the song Explosions. This was a different version to the original song and was slightly faster, so the lip syncing was not working due to this.

So we had to re do all of our markers we had put in place on our timeline and download the version we had used when filming. This was very stressful as we felt as though we had wasted a lot of our time, we came back from this and managed to catch up and our editing is now going very well.  We are going to be posting clips that we recorded through camtasia later on to indicate this.

Filming pictures

We found that when filming on London Bridge that there was a lots of people walking around as it is a main location for tourists to go. However we were able to film a lot of great shots that are very effective in our video which we will be adding up shortly as a rough cut.

 We were able to film throughout the whole day travelling to Piccadilly circus and film our time lapse and a variety of long, medium and close up shots.

Today we had a shorter lesson so we wasn't able to do much, today we marked all of the base tracks on a key word and added them into the timeline. We also decided to add more markers to the song on where we think there should be a change in base tracks or scenes.

13/11/15
Today we started off the narrative to the song, we looked over all the clips again and decided what clips to use first. When filming we filmed in 3 minute intervals as we thought we would have just dragged the video on to the time line and cut, but after we realised that it wasn't necessary as we would be selecting clips and cutting at random points.
