Music video thus far - 31/3/11



Today we showcased our music video to the rest of our media group with a very rough cut. Uploaded above is the unfinished version, with, unfortunately, was exported at a low quality. The music is extremely 'boomy' for an unknown reason, which we did not have time to fix. However, it does give an idea of how the editing and shots are coming along.
The large black holes are where we have not inserted footage. Once we had all the gig footage, we cut the useful pieces and inserted them where they fitted. Therefore, the video has random pieces of the gig footage inserted. Also, due to our pre-production brainstorming, we had ideas of where we wanted certain shots to go, and thus we put those where we felt fit. We decided to edit this way rather than going through doing shot by shot and leaving no gaps, as then we knew how much we had to fill in and where. This also gave us an indication of how progressed the narrative was.

Update - 19/3/11

Today was our final filming date outside of school for the London narrative. We managed to get many more close-ups and extreme close-ups today, which we lacked in our last filming date. This will keep our music video interesting by varying shot types. We also captured a few more close-up establishing shots. This was perhaps our most successful London filming date, as we had the previous experience and knowledge of exactly what we wanted to obtain.
