Finished Editing

Today we added our final scenes of the music video so now we have finished editing. We added the scenes of Edward sitting on a bench and the scenes of traffic. With these scenes we sped them up and added a black and white effect to the traffic scene to reflect the mood of the music video and Ed's reflection on the past. We also included a scene with Ed sitting on a bus by himself. We are waiting for our feedback session on Monday to see what the rest of our class thinks of our music video and how we could improve.

Filming

While editing our group realised that we need to film more footage as we had ran out because in our story board we did not consider the instrumental parts of the song.
Today we filmed with just Edward on the bus and sitting on a bench with the traffic going past. We hope to speed up these scenes when editing our music video tomorrow and so hopefully that will fill up the gaps that we have as tomorrow is our last editing day.

Editing

Today we decided to film some more scenes for our music video. We filmed in the field the parts of the music video that would be showing the song lyrics and added the footage to final cut pro.

The idea for this bit of the music video came from the Alicia keys lyric video of new day which just showed the song lyrics being written down.



Editing

Today we edited some more of our footage, we made the flashbacks black and white and speed up some scenes.

Editing

Today we added the song to final cut pro and so we started to edit the music video. So far we are trying to get the lip syncing accurate as well as working out which scenes go where as we cannot follow the story board exactly as some ideas have changed since drawing the story board. 

Editing

Today we started editing our film by uploading our footage onto final cut pro.

Filming

Today we finished our filming. We re-filmed some shots at hollow pond as well as filming some new ones with the girl actor this time. We did not have alcohol bottles we deiced to change the story a bit  because filming in the house would be irrelevant as there would be no bottles to find so instead the girl and boy would have a normal break up and get back together in the end. We filmed some scenes in a cafe, on the bus and at a street corner.

Editing

Today we looked at the footage that we filmed at Hollow Pond and uploaded it onto Final Cut Pro. We looked at what we needed to remove and what we needed to film again. reviewing our footage we could see that some shots were wonky or out of focus. When filming we also made the mistake of telling our actor not to look at the camera but looking at our footage we decided that it would be better if he had looked at the camera more.

Our actors are unable to film with us tomorrow so we have to do a full day of filming this Saturday.
