Recce Shots

These are some images of the different locations based in the same area that we have used in our music video. The reason we used these places is because of the autumn season the location looked romantic.

Lip Syncing

Today my group and I have started learning and practising the lip syncing of our artist. We had time to practise on another clip of a music video that our teacher provided us with. In turn Jasmine, Ellie and I had a turn to learn how to do it. I found it a bit difficult to do, but got the hang of it in the end. Then we put a small clip of our footage onto a separate timeline on Final Cut Express t practice on. This also went well and we all managed to get the hang of it.

Editing

My group and I have finally started putting the footage and clips together and we have started editing our music video. Editing is one of my weaknesses but since Jasmine is good at it and knows how it works she will show me how to edit efficiently.

Footage

Today we have uploaded our second lot of filming onto the school computers.This footage is mainly of our artist Jess and her singing, but there are still some clips of our actor Bethany in it. This time the process was quicker because we knew how to upload to footage unlike last time. All the filming looks really good and we have a lot to work with, so it is very unlikely that we will need to do another day of filming.

Second Day of Filming

Jasmine and Ellie went to the same park yesterday and completed our second lot of filming that we needed to do. I could not make it as I had family commitments on that day, so they took charge and got it finalised. They showed me today though how the filming went and what they filmed. They filmed our artist Jess' singing for the lip syncing that we need to do, and a bit of one of our actors Bethany. The filming they have done looks really steady and well filmed. We will now get it uploaded tomorrow at school.

Footage

Today my group and I have just uploaded the first lot of footage up onto the Mac computers in school. This footage consists of only the couple we are using for the video and their romance, we will be doing our filming of our singer Jess this weekend. We had a bit of trouble at first because we used different cameras to the school's and we could not work out how to upload it. However we worked out that we had to upload it onto iMovie before putting it onto Final Cut Express, so we this problem was resolved.

First Day of Filming

I have just got back from our first day of filming. Ellie and I went up to a local park earlier and started the filming as Jasmine could not make it in the morning but joined us during the late afternoon. We have completed a solid couple of hours of filming and it looks really good as we have had a productive day. Ellie and I did most of the camera work, however when Jasmine joined us later on she had a go at directing and filming.
