Music Video

weekly production log 7

This was the final week we had to finish the editing of our music video, we managed to finish it all on Monday. Everybody in the group managed to be there for the final day of editing, so me, Ben and Franki all put our effort to finish the music video, which took a very long time. When finishing the music video we added all the scenes that we had to re shoot, due to them not being as good as we planned them to be, when adding all the shots to the mac, it took a lot of time for it to render.

We had to put all the shots together, making sure that they all catted to the beat and synced in right with the music, so the music video will look more professional, it was a very easy process, since there was not problems that we had to face, it was one of those situations where we had to just finish adding everything together, with no problems at all.

Since this was the last day that we had to finish the editing for the music video, we all had to stay after school, to finish everything for the music video, and get it just as we plan it to be, which got us excited to see how it will actually turn out to look like in the end. While waiting for everything to render, we had literally nothing to do, so we had some time to talk and go on our phones.

When the rendering finally finished, we showed our music video to Miss Lowndes and she told us that apparently there was two scenes that did not fit in with the music, which then we quickly changed, and after that we managed to finally  managed to finish our music video.

This week, my group was very busy with both editing and filming, the whole group, including the cast and crew had to film on Saturday, since that was the only day we were allowed to film, and re shoot all of the scenes that we thought were not as good as we planned, we had to re shoot all the scenes that had the memories of the two girls in the couple. we managed to finish every single scene that we needed and now we just need to put them in the music video, in the following week.

For the whole week we had only two people in our group, since one of the people in the group Ben, had a headache, and was not able to come in for the lessons, so me and Franki had to edit for the whole week, and we did a pretty good job, we managed to cut to the beat with every shot and added some color frames to the shots, to make it look better and fit with the music. such as the scenes that had a little but of a pink filter fitted with the instrumental and the shot to make our music video look even better.

When me and Franki showed our work to miss Lowndes, she told us that the whole thing was good, but we still just needed to get those un filmed parts done, but so far everything that we had done was good. On Friday, both Ben and Franki, were not in the lesson, since both of them were ill, which left me to do the work by myself. Since there was really not that much for me to do that lesson, since the only thing we need to do is the re shooting and adding them to the film, I just went over the music video, to see if there were any mistakes, and there was one scene that did not cut to the beat, so I changed that, and then Mr Phillipson showed our work to another group and told them that is how their work should be, after that he told me that the work was distinction level currently, which gave me and my group more confidence and now we look forward to see how the movie will look when finished.  Currently we would say that the music video is 95% done, with everything in the right place, all we need to do is add the scenes we done on Saturday.

This week was all about editing, since throughout Monday to Friday me,Ben and Franki have been working on the editing for the music video that we are making. Throughout the week, me, Ben and Franki each took turns every day on who would do most of the editing, there was one day, which was Wednesday, that Franki had to go to the dentist, which was unfortunate, Ben was there but he had a massive headache, so he was unable to do the work, which was also unfortunate, with those two in mind I had to be in charge of continuing the editing, when I was doing the editing, I managed to do quite a lot, on the other days of the week we all were able to do the editing, and it seemed like a simple process since we all knew what to do, but there was one thing that was a problem and we found it annoying to do, and that was rendering the video every time we do something, this took a long process since we had to wait a long time, usually 10-12 minutes and got annoying sometimes.

Since we had to do the editing, we had to listen to the song many, many times, and by now we got kind of tired of listening to it multiple times, and we had to re watch the whole music video over and over again, to check if we made any mistakes, and so we could check what the music video actually looked like, we did find out that one shot in the music video did not sync in with the music, so we had to quickly change that to make it fit in with the music. 

We tried our best to cut to the beat with the music video, since sir told us to do it multiple times, and it was very important since it made the music video look a lot better, we managed to do it so well that sir used our music video as an example for the other groups in our class, which gave us more confidence to finish our music video to see how it will look like in the end, so far we think it looks really good and we would say it is currently 75% done, and we will probably finish it next week.
