Day 2 of Editing

Today we edited the final 3rd of our music video.
We haven't yet filmed out the middle part of our video, this is because it is a different location. We are planning to do the filming for the middle ASAP.
As for the editing it went well again we are getting wizards on "Final Cut Express", we are now going to start adding effects and make our video look even more amazing!
We have not have any major problems YET so we hope that this good luck continues.

Day 1 of Editing

The first day of editing went really well. We got the first 50 seconds of the song edited and we think it looks good. We wasnt expecting it to look as good as it does. While we was filming it we was worrying about how it would looked but we are pleased how it has come out. We are using a new software called "Final Cut Express" as we are not used to it, it is stressful at first. Last year we used "IMoive" which we finally got used to then when we started this year we had to change to "Final Cut Express".

Therefore we are pleased with our start, ready to go to the next stage.

Day 5 of Filming - Getting There

Today we took the camera over the park to do the last bit of filming. It is for the last part of the video. Some of the shots that we took were perfessional standard I think! They look amzing when we uploaded it onto the IMac. It should be easy to editing. But the thanks have to go to Mike for the ideas for the types and angles of the shots that we used today!

Day 4 of Filming - Some progress

We took some shots today but we are limited for time as we both work evenings and weekends. We will get this video done but it will take longer than first expected. We done about an hour or so of filming today. slowly but surely we are getting there and making some progress, we would of done a lot more, but it is so hard not to laugh while singing into a camera. Also while filming we make changes to our story board therefore for some shots you will not recognise them from our story board.

Day 3 of Filming - The Car

We thought we would use my car for the start of the song. We was going to drive from school to my house using a POV shot then speed it up so it goes down to around 7 seconds. We had some problems while shooting this.

Such as;

1. Mike was just about seat belted in so it was a little unsafe
2. Every time we went over a speed bump the camera was hard to keep still
3. Bumpy roads also made the camera jolt
4. The camera lens kept on steaming up so the picture quality was poor

Day 2 of Filming - Setting up

We got round my house and realised me needed to do a few things before filming. This is because I am currently decorating in my house. We had to move boxes and tidy up before we started. This took a couple of hours so by the end we didn't have enough time to film. So we left it for today and thought we start another day from scratch. We also made sure that we picked all the camera angles were choosen and that we had all theprops readyfor when we start. It may not of been a good day for filming but we are all ready to go for next time now!

Day 1 of Filming - The Snow

Well this day was living hell!

We was all planed from the night before and raring to go as we was starting our filming late anyway. But we woke up to this! about 5 cm of freezing cold snow! we had planed to go to London and get a big chunk of the video filmed. We got to the train station and the trains were mad. there was hardly any trains going into London at this point in time we was both cold and wet. Therefore we got back on the bus and went home, we would of spent more time fighting to get on a train than filming.
