Music Video

Production Log

This week our challenge was to complete the entire music video for uploading it onto our YouTube accounts. At the beginning of the week we filled in our free periods to come in and carry on editing our music video to make it complete, there were still a lot of scenes that we had to cut and fit in with the video, we did have to add quite a few effects to our music video to make it flow and seem professional. While we was editing we also did learn and pick up a few new techniques with final cut expression, with the split screen effect to allow the audience to see to scenes at once to create a story.
We managed to finish the editing of the music video by Wednesday evening which was on time as we were planning on uploading the video by Friday.

What we did this week does fit in with our production schedule and also our job roles, as we did try stick to it as best as we could throughout the week to make sure that we stayed on top of our tasks and the overall project was really good as you could see all the hard work and time we had to put in for the music video and I am very pleased with how it turned out.

There wasn't many problems that we came across this week which is good seeing as this was one of our busiest weeks of editing. I did come across a problem on Wednesday because I had to be somewhere important but I also had to be in to edit and so I chose to stay and edit which did cause a slight problem for me but thankfully I did manage to sort it out.

Now that all the editing is now complete, we will be focusing on uploading to videos to our blogs and beginning our next unit.
Overall this project has been a challenge and difficult, but at the same time I did enjoy it as I was able to show my skills and also learn new things which is always an advantage.

This week has been quite a long and stressful week with the editing and trying to make the music video look as professional as possible.
We've been tightening our music video and adding more scenes that were needed.
While we was editing we was coming up with  good ideas that we thought would look good. We also had to get extra footage over the weekend of any scenes that we didn't manage to get before and also getting as many scenery scenes as possible at Valentine Park.











I had to look at a few You tube videos of final cut express to give us more ideas of different effects that we could do to get our music video to stand out to the audience.



Editing this week definitely fitted in with our production schedule as we did make sure that we stayed on task. This also fitted in with our job role and we were able to discuss our ideas that we had and show it in our music video. We did manage to stay behind at the end of day to complete the editing to make sure our music video was done and up to our expectations.


The only problem that we came across this week was when we was editing and we had to make sure that we was 'cutting to the beat', and throughout the music video you can easily tell when we weren't cutting to the beat which isn't a good thing at all because it doesn't look effective enough. The other problem that we had was the weather, unfortunately the weather on the weekend was terrible which did throw us off course because we needed a dry day to film but we managed to deal with the problem and carry on filming
 So for next week we will need to make sure that we cut to the beat and that the music video flows well.
This week we will also be editing the new footage that we managed to get over the weekend and making sure it flows with the rest of the video.

This week has been quite a hectic week, with the editing and trying to make the music video look as professional as possible.
We've been going through our script and matching the different scenes to the correct sequence.
While we was editing we was coming up with really good and strong ideas that we never thought of before, which then showed the progress that we was making daily with editing.











At then beginning of the week we was still trying to get the hang of using 'final cut express' but once we knew how to use it and knew where all the effects were, I also tried to look at a few You tube videos of the tutorial of final cut express but unfortunately I honestly didn't think it helped me much but luckily once we got taught how to use it we was on a roll and straight away we knew how we was going to get our music video to stand out to the audience.



Editing this week definitely fitted in with our production schedule as we did make sure that we stayed on task and able to produce and brilliant piece of work.
This also fitted in with our job role and we were able to bounce off each others ideas that we had that we knew would bring out the quality of the music video.
At the moment I can definitely say that the music video is fitting in with our overall ideas, we obviously have much more ideas and plans for the video which will be shown later on down the line.



This week there was a slight problem with myself, I fell poorly at the beginning of the week, but I was able to get in contact with my partner and found out exactly how the project was going and also give my ideas even though I wasn't physically there. I was able to return back to my lesson and continue with the editing as planned.
There wasn't much/isn't much that I can really do to overcome this problem again, but if unfortunately this problem happens again I will have to try my hardest to make it to my lesson if possible.
We are planning to continue editing our video, making it neat, flow and look professional cutting scenes which we discussed were not suitable.




 We will also be deciding what more footage we can get for our extra filming which will be a great advantage to boost up our view of the video.
We are also planning this week to stay behind and work on as much as we can to fully complete the video by the draft deadline which is on the 14th March. We made sure that we was going to dedicate our free time to produce a great music video.

This week we have been getting our final filming done of the music video. We have mainly been focusing on the footage that we already have and just filming more that we had forgotten to do and also other ideas that we thought of along the way.
We have also been discussing how we could make the music video even better that it would stand out, and we have come up with a few ideas that required more filming which wasn't a problem at all as we were prepared for that at the beginning anyway.


What we have done this week, definitely fits in with out production schedule and also our roles because we have been sorting out our finishing of the music video and making sure that we stick to the script as much as possible and also resolving any problems that we may come across while filming and also while editing.
This week we have also been uploading all our footage onto the PC that we will be working on till the video has finished. We started editing some of the footage that was possible and that we wanted to keep. There were parts of the video that we had to cut, crop and change the motion to fit the vision we had of the music video.

There were a few problems that we did unfortunately come across this week of filming, some of the locations that we planned to use were not possible to use which did cause a problem because we did have to quickly find a new location which would be best to film at.
Another problem that we came across was transport, there were as few trains that were not running from time to time and also the times of the bus were irregular which then cut into time of our filming that we could've used.

Now that we have finally got 100% of filming done, we can now upload all the footage onto our PC, and also focus on editing the whole music video and making it look as professional as possible.
There are so many ideas that we have with editing the music video that we know it will make the video stand out to the audience that will be watching.
