  This an image of me and partner today we have completed our music video as well as that we also added some of the ideas of improvements following the feedback from Monday.

Tuesday, 24 November 2015

This week we have booked the editing suite for:

24th: 16:20 -18:30
25th: 12:50 - 13:20
26th: 10:10 - 11:30

Monday, 23 November 2015

This week the plan is:

  • Book at least 2 additional editing sessions to complete the extra editing needed from the feedback
  • Make a start on Task 8
  • Continue blogging 

feedback rough copy

The audience and the teachers gave points of improvements, what they liked. We also asked the audience whether we should edit every green screen element to black, to have it all green or the have a mixture of both and they gave us their opinions on that.

The parts they liked was the camera angles, the choreography, the cutting rate, the vibes given off by the actors, crowd and dancers and the narrative. The majority of the audience preferred that we have a mixture of the green and black, one comment by a classmate Courtney was "the green adds a pop of bright colour as the song is quite vibrant and upbeat."

The parts of improvement was to add some more footage as it was a bit heavy on one side with the same continuous location. Also at the beginning we could introduce the song by making it muffled so it seems like he's listening to the track on his phone. Danielle wanted to see more of the people dancing at Stratford more as it adds something more onto the video and Vanessa wants to see more close up lip sync in the video.

ACTION TAKEN:

We both appreciate the feedback given by the audience and the teachers, from that we have decided to mix some of the green and black backgrounds, also to add on more footage of close ups and other locations at the other half of the video so that it evens out everything. With the help of the technician Tom we would be able to create a muffled introduction to the song instead of using two different songs in the introduction.






this is the rough copy feedback that me and my partner conducted in class this video includes the opinions of members of our class as that they are giving us advice on how to improve our music video.
Today is the deadline for the editing of the video. me and partner have completed the editing to the deadline

Thursday, 19 November 2015

Today was the reshooting of the tv studio scenes which I think went well we used the green screen to put the emphasis on the performance including the two lights to make it seem professional and look real and that the artists uniqueness... there was more  enthusiasm from the actors.  
Also after college, we stayed behind till 7pm to arrange all the shots taken into the desired order. Tomorrow with the help of the technician Tom, we would add some special effects onto the video. 

After that the additional editing session tomorrow, the video would be ready and completed for deadline and the screening/ audience feedback on Monday.

researching music video for 2 attempt of music video (case study)

Due to the criticism I received from my teacher telling me my filming in the studio of the two main characters performing looked amateurish due to the fact there was wires all over the place the camera went in and out of focus. The action I decided to take was watching all types of music videos and analyzing and evaluating their techniques. From this video the key information that i will be utilizing is the camera techniques used when the artists are performing on stage for we have a similar scene similar to this in our music video
I have also decided to use this as a case study towards my music video. What i learned from this music video is that they use the camera angles and techniques to make the audience feel as if they are involved and a part of the video, I feel like this the reason why the use 3 main camera techniques which are very much simple, not to confuse the audiences with too many camera movements.
What i have also taken from this case study is that with the camera movement you can actually make the viewer/ audience feel a certain type of way and gain the type of emotion you want them to gain by the camera technique.



i also learned it is not all about the plot and the story line but also the camera techniques///











Tuesday, 17 November 2015

After speaking to both of the actors, they both are available for this THURSDAY, therefore the studio is booked for this Thursday from 12-1.50. 

Monday, 16 November 2015

Today vanessa watch the completed parts of our music video and told us what we should improve this consisted of :
GOOD POINTS:
-Narrative element is good and is perfectly filmed 
-The choreography is very good
-The solo's are very good
-Some good elements of camera angles
-Locations go well with the narrative and the theme of the song 
-The open mic audience scenes are very good

IMPROVEMENTS:
-Refilm the TV Studio and include more close ups than long shots
-Include some cutbacks instead of separating the two locations, this will portray your editing techniques


From the feedback given we have decided to refilm the TV studio scenes paying more attention to the different camera angles and keeping the camera in focus. To be able to do so we need to contact the main actors to see if they are free again for filming either this week or next.
This week the booked additional sessions to edit the video would be on the following dates:

TUESDAY 17TH: 12.50-1.50
WEDNESDAY 18TH:12.50 - 1.50
FRIDAY: 11.40 - 1.50

TUESDAY 17TH: 12.50-1.50
WEDNESDAY 18TH:12.50 - 1.50
FRIDAY: 11.40 - 1.50

After every filming session we had arranged the shots into the desired order. But from this day forth we would be forcusing on our editing techniques stated on the stroyboard we had created.

Group Target:
The group targets are to focus on TEAM WORK & ADDITIONAL EDITING SESSIONS, this is because its a shared project so we have to make sure that we both give ideas whilst editing. And also 2 weeks is a short time to get everything sorted so we would need more time from our own spare time to complete editing.

Personal Target:
My target is to blog regularly 
Today we had to reschedule the TV studio booking for today as no one was available for that day anymore. 
The rescheduled date will be confirmed later down the week.

We have also cancelled the extra filming for stratford and leytonstone as there is no longer need to do so.
