We went filming today at the CNS car park in Town. We first thought the dark, wet and dreary weather conditions were going to be a problem for us. However it turned out that the depressing weather worked well with our chosen song. From the amount we have filmed today of Sarah singing the song on the roof we are confident that we are getting back on track and will not fall behind with our project.
Friday 22nd October
Today we stayed in college and captured all that we had filmed previously. This time we are much happier with how the music video is looking so far and with the parts we have filmed. We all still stand by the decision of changing the song to Just like a pill by Pink. We have found that there are some important scenes that we cannot use and will have to re-shoot as others were in the shot when they weren’t meant to be. We will be re filming these scenes next week.
Tuesday 26th October (half term)
We filmed during the half term to ensure we won`t fall behind with the project as we wasted a lot of time filming for the song we had first chosen; Professor Green ft Lily Allen – Just be good to green. We finished some scenes at the car park and thanks to another wet and dreary day continuity of the video is not affected. We got two shots of Sarah and John on the roof together and apart. We also filmed in front of the Urbis Centre, again capturing both Sarah and John walking together alongside a stream which we thought would be a good shot and got some shots of Sarah running down the streets which we plan to usew for the chorus of our song.
Tuesday 2nd November
On this day we filmed in the chaplaincy. We filmed two of our performers arguing in a kitchen, we used the sink in the chaplaincy to make it look like a flat. The argument relates to song as it is about a break up. After this we went back to class and captured what we had filmed that day.
Friday 5th November
Today we have looked back at all out previous footage which we are very happy with. We have now decided that we are going to film some scenes of Sarah playing the piano for the opening scene of the music video. We have booked one of the music practise rooms and plan to film there next week.
Tuesadey 9th November
Today we filmed in a college music room. We filmed one of our perfermomers; Sarah, while she played the piano to the music of the beginning of the song. We were able to get the sheet music to the song and Sarah was able to learn the notes and play along in time with the music.
We also filmed Sarah on the floor lip synching with the beginning of the song. We were able to film her from different angles by standing on chairs and filming her from the side.
We then captured what we had filmed that day and started to edit the music video together.
Friday 12th November and onwards.
From the 12th November up until the 18th November, we edited all of the shots we had into a smooth running music video. There were times where we all got a little frustrated because we found it hard to get the shots in sync with the music, but in the end we were able to correct it. Another promblem we had was tryin to find the right clips to go at each part of the song, this was a long process but as a group we picked the best clips and put them into our video. We are all proud of our video and now we are just adding the finish touches to it by adding effects etc.
One on my favourite parts of the video is at the begining of the second verse, we decided to use alot of different clips that had our performer singing in it and put them together to make it fast cutting and show the different locations we had shot. As a whole, our group is happy with what we have produced.
Friday 26th November
Final day of editing. We added a new version of the song as the other version skipped. This made the lip shyncing of the video shift and it was no longer in shync. Therefore we had to put a few shots back in the right place, add video trasitions for effect as well as adding green screen backgrounds and add colour disortation for certain scenes such as the flashbacks. We finished the video in time and managed to tidy it up, as a group we are happy with the finished video.
Tuesday 07th November
Today, we finished off the CD Cover today, and started on the media advert. We felt that we made great progress today and we feel like we will be finished by Friday, with time spare to improve things.
Here is our front cover so far.
This is a draft of our advert so far we are hoping to add more logos and put abit more wiritng on it.Friday 10th December
Today was our final deadline for the Digipack, we worked as a team to make sure that everything had been done, and that all the items of the digipack were in one folder, because we had already created the CD Cover and Back Cover, we created the two insides and finished off the advert. As a team we thought that everything turned out well, and we were proud of our end results.
Tuesday 14th December
Today was our final lesson to make sure we had everything we need, we made a directors commentary and added it on to the blog, we recorded our voices talking about the different scenes and shots that are in our video and we re-placed the music with it. After we edited the video and added it to the blog, we looked over everything that we did to make sure the english was correct and that everything that we needed on the blog was there, we found that it was all done and so we decided that the blog didn't need anything else adding to it.
