Quick To Do List!

Quick Little Feedback! (For Rough Cut 3)

We had the advantage of receiving extra feedback for our rough cut 3 from another student (Dan). Dan boosted our confidence as he had mentioned many good qualities about our video. Dan thought the use of our artist jumping during the beginning of the chorus is much better as it showed more of an impact and linked to the power of the song.

Production Diary (Day 7)

Date: 26.11.2015

Todays lesson was repetitive to our previous lessons. We carried on working very hard in editing our Music Video. We mostly tried to enhance the brightness of some shots that was advised to us in our feedback. We also corrected the editing throughout the video by trying to constantly cut to the beat. This was quite difficult as already had our shots organised in a certain way, however we eventually got there & made it work!

We also got some quick feedback from our classmate, Dan, who gave us positive feedback. This had boosted our confidence a lot as we initially thought our video was faulty after attempting to correct our mistakes. You can view Dan's feedback by going on to the blog titled "Quick Little Feedback! (For Rough Cut 3)"

Today's lesson was also productive once again and we also made quick plans on what we want to achieve in the next lesson.

Production Diary (Day 6)

Date: 24.11.2015

In today's second half of the lesson we had shown our entire class our rough cut music video in which we were given feedback consisting of positive elements and room for improvement. Throughout the rest of the lesson we had carried on with editing after taking in our feedback. 

To see our feedback scroll through our blog with the title "Rough Cut Class Feedback"

Rough Cut (2) Class Feedback

After showing our second rough cut to the class, we received feedback on our video. Here are some points on what was mentioned:

Positive Aspects:

• The main concept of the video is very good as well as the structure of the video
• The use of editing in general is good, mainly the use of a split screen
• How the artist is presented throughout the video, good use of editing when showing the artist in a narrative aspect following her singing in a basetrack 
• The change of locations

Improvements:

• Correct the lip-syncing as it's slightly slow
• Show more of an impact at the beginning of the chorus
• Some shots are long and so should be cut to the beat
• A few shots are shown to be darker than others due to the time in which we filmed. We can overcome this by reshooting or possibly increasing contrast and brightness
• Show movement of artist in frame, add shots in which the artist is shown not to always be in the centre of frame

After looking back on the points where there is room for development, we will definitely keep developing our video and add in most of the feedback given, as we know our audience's feedback is crucial, when creating a better video.

ROUGH- ROUGH CUT -1

The video above is our first attempt in editing our music video. We have created a rough cut music video to visually show an idea of how we want our video to be like. Although we have not edited the entire song, we have still added a variety of base tracks and shots to show elements of our video. Looking at our unique edited video, we are pleased with the outcome and our small feedback, hoping that our finished edited video produces the same results.

Production Diary (Day 4)

Date: 12.11.2015

Today we were finishing our editing for our rough cut. We were very pleased in getting good feedback on the structure of our music video. We had made slight changes from our previous editing however this was good as it gave us an opportunity to further adapt our video.

Production Diary (Day 3)

Date:10.11.2015

Today we had started the editing of our production. Firstly we had started by going through all our recorded footage and decided together on the shots we wanted to keep and use in our music video.

We had done this by agreeing on the footage that we thought would be useful and then imported all our marked shots onto the Premier Pro software to start editing. We were given feedback and started to create a "Rough rough cut" to give an initial idea on how we visually picture our music video.

Production Diary (Day 2)

Date: 08.11.2015- CANARY WHARF

Today was our second day of filming in which we shot scenes in Canary Wharf. We were content with our scenes yesterday filming with other characters, therefore we had only filmed base tracks of Amber. We did some filming outdoors and inside a bright greenhouse. We ensured that Amber had a change of clothes, as it was a little cold she also had a jumper to wear as soon as we had stopped filming to feel comfortable. Overall we were very happy with today as we had filmed a variety of shots that we knew would be very useful in our music video.

Filming Day 2

Production Diary (Day 1)

Date: 07.11.2015

Today we had started our production process by beginning to film for our music video. There were slight changes made throughout the day such as changes in the individuals acting out a certain role. Luckily we had prepared arrangements of having back up actors before and so easily used them when filming. There were also slight changes in our locations that we wanted to initially use, however our final locations that we had decided on did a great job in portraying a certain narrative to the video.

During the early afternoon, we had filmed our base tracks for our artist (Amber) in a girly bedroom. We had given our artist a variety of props such as a teddy bear, previous pictures that could be seen on a phone and many clothes that she could change into for different locations. 

Amber  (Bedroom scenes)

After we had filmed the bedroom scenes, we had then done some outdoor filming in which most shots consisted of the "new girlfriend" with the "boyfriend". Alongside this, we had also filmed another base track outdoors of Amber + scenes in which she is showing to stalk her ex-boyfriend.

Next we had filmed the "front door scenes" in which Amber interrupts her ex-boyfriend and his current girlfriend's date. We had decided to use a fig rig in most of our shots as it mostly resembles the elements of music videos in general . Finally we had decided to film our artist's flashback scenes in which we filmed a variety of romantic moments her and her boyfriend had. This would fit perfectly in lour music video when Amber is reminiscing about her boyfriend towards the end of the video.

Overall, we are extremely happy with our first day of filming as we had worked productively. We managed to film many scenes and different base tracks in one day. This has motivated us when filming again and looking forward to our finished video.

Here are a few behind the scenes clips of our filming: ENJOY
