With only one day left until the deadline, today we have been ruthlessly editing our footage, chopping and cutting clips to perfect our video. Here is a cut of our video with one day to go.



Tomorrow we will just go through the footage making any last alterations we feel our needed.

LF: 2 Days to Go!!

Today in the lesson I:

  • Filmed some filler shots with James using numerous apparatus such as a dolly and a track.
  • Helped James with editing the footage.
  • Uploaded pictures of our night shoot onto Photo shop.
  • Created a rough print work poster.
  • Found the location to capture our pictures for the print work.

Today myself and Luca shot some more filler shots in an outside location within school up against a plain brick wall, to still gain a urban feel. We used the dolly and track to gain some smooth movement with the camera. Once we had shot this we uploaded the footage on to Premiere and turned the footage to black and white and time stretched some shots to fit in to some gaps as filler shots.




I also edited the footage of the girl Luca took last night. Although he had some trouble with the external location and the lighting, so he had to change the location to inside his house, which restricted movement and angles he could shoot, however we managed to cut a few shots out of the footage which was useable and fits well in to our concept.

Today I finished the editing of our question on how our band is represented throughout the promotional activity by cutting out the takes that were not successful. Furthermore I over looked James throughout editing the footage and came up with numerous suggestions such as; I felt in order to make the shots of the feet appearing in sync, we should fade out the second shot of my feet, in order to smooth out the cut to Blake’s feet as I thought it was too sudden and disrupted the rhythm of the video.
I also attempted to film some footage of a girl that we could have included in our video, however I planned to use certain external locations such as a plain brick wall and a large tree will yellow and brown leaves at the base. However due to the weather it was too dark to film in these locations at 4:10pm as a result I had to film inside, and did not complete all the filming. Nonetheless I am looking to capture the rest of the footage on Wednesday during the day.

TB:Update 28/11/2011

In today's lesson I printed out the rough copy of my print work and further analysed it so I could add detail to my slide rocket tonight. I also helped Luca upload the footage of his video entry question. Furthermore, I discussed with James what needed to be done tonight in terms of work and also discussed Blog format with Luca.

Today I carried on with the editing process of our production. Getting in to the last week we now have to analyse our current footage with great detail, perfecting every aspect of the video to ensure our work is of the highest quality. I found some of the footage I had previously imported from another Premiere file had had some quality problems, and we saw a slight blur to the shots, so I had to re-export them and import them back on to our timeline. This meant I had to then re-edit the footage to match the previous clips which had to be replaced.

The rest of the week will consist of editing the footage of the girl which Luca captured tonight then getting some extra filler shots in either the studio or an outside location. Once this is complete we can touch up all of our footage to conclude our music video production.
