Thoughts on the Music Video in general

Due to bad planning and people not attending the lessons we fell quite far behind. Once we found out the final deadlines we started to get a move on. We quickly planned out a short narrative and shot it in one lesson. Although our video was not as good as it could have been, we still included some of the conventions that a typical music video has, including lip synchronising. The editing and green screening we felt worked well, although some parts of it did not quite work. For example when Danni is singing in the street, people just walk through her, which we feel we could've made better if we had more time, or if we had planned better in advance.

Our new pitch

We have come to the conclusion that our video is not going to plan. So we have decided to change our idea; and add some new footage and shot effects. This will include a shot that was inspired by the Blink 182 video 'Always' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUDCEzfPxw4). We are also going to re film the Bed Scene as the lighting is poor and the room is to cluttered. We are going to toy around with some of the effects that Final Cut offers and see what looks best on our footage. We aim to have our filming done in the three lessons that we have left to film in, and also do one overnight.

Anamatic

here is our animatic, we have not done the whole of the song, we have done it so that you we can get an idea of how well it will look.

Test footage.

We tested two different editing techniques. the first one was using the three shots we took. We cropped them so that you could only see a third of each shot. So we could have different people in each shot, making it look like six different people but they are all doing the same thing at the same time. Unfortunately we did not take the shots at the right height. So the hall looks slightly skewed upwards.





Our second video was made up of two shots taken separately. As this was just a test shot we did not use a lot of people for it. We all walked around to simulate a small crowd. Then we took a second shot of Jacob up against a green screen. This is where we ran into a problem. Due to the lighting the green card had a gradient running down it. Final Cut then picked this up as two separate cards.
