Problems during editing

One of the problems we had during editing was that one of the band members wore different outfits during two scenes. This was a problem because we had to take parts of out from the video, where he wore another outfit. This meant that we had to film the stage scene again but that members bit, this didn't help us as we had to take the camera out again and film then edit it back into the music video.

This is what the band looked like before. 

As you can see in this shot one member is wearing a jumper that he didn't wear before. We decided to cary on filming because we thought it wouldn't be a problem, however it looked very odd when we edited it.

Editing process

Once we filmed all the scenes that we needed, we came back to school and used Final cut express on the Imac computers. As we were editing we decided to get screenshots of the editing process, this is useful because it shows how we edit and what things are included when editing. There are many different tools needed when editing and you can see this by the screenshots below. We also got a screenshot of the timeline to show where we put the images and what effects were used. 

Next session - London scene

For our next session, we filmed in different locations in London. We filmed at oxford circus, the london eye and St. James park. To make use of the time we had, we decided to plan our route  and the locations we will be filing at. Firstly we went to oxford circus to film the beginning of the video and a few scenes for  our video, after we then went to St. James park to film the majority of the film. After we then went to the South bank and we used the london eye as a background for another scene of our video. The images below show the photos we took of our filming session.

This is close up of the lead singer singer the chorus at South bank.

The scene at Oxford circus shows each member messing about and just having fun.

The was also a funny scene, one member of the group is calling his friend to see where he is, only to find out that he was on the other side. 

This scene is all about the group singing the chorus together, with the London eye as the background.

First film session

Today we filmed for the first time, we decided to film the first verse and chorus of the stage scene. The session was successful because we finished the first verse and chorus, however we had to stop at times to learn the words, this shows how unprepared we were. There are many improvements that need to be made when filming the stage scene again, we need to be more prepared with the lyrics and instruments and know what we are going to do.

Timetable for Filming

Before we start filming i have decided to create a timetable for what we are going to do on each day as we make our music video. This shows what we will be doing on each day and where we will be filming, it also shows who will be casting in that scene and what we are going to wear for them scenes.
