Editing





Today as Jasmine's strength is editing she has taken the role of getting started on our editing. She has to started to lip sync a few of our chosen clips. Me and Daisy have been watching the whole process so we get to familiarise ourselves with how things will pan out.

Editing And Lip Syncing



Today my group and I have started editing our music video. All of our footage is uploaded including the song which we burnt onto a CD. Our song is 3 minutes and 23 seconds long, this means we will have to make sure all the footage and filming we are using will all add up to this exact time. We have also started lip syncing our artist's miming to the lyrics of the song and first impressions it looks good and is moving along very well.

Second day of filming



Today was scheduled for filming our lip syncing. i couldn't make it for part of the day but joined Jasmine later and Daisy wasn't able to make it. So Jasmine had to take the role of leading the filming until also came to help. Before this day we had all spoken as a group and discussed what shots and images we wanted for the lip syncing to fit in with our other footage of our couple. Jasmine felt more confident going into filming this time as she knew what was needed. When i was then able to join her later on in the day, we realised last minute that we needed a visual metaphor. But we overcame this and me and Jasmine came up with an idea to write i love you in leaves. We think it will looked good with the autumnal scenes and locations we used in our footage from before.

First day of filming












I have just come back from our first re-filming day. Myself and Daisy started the filming off as Jasmine couldn't make it to the first half of the day. We went to our chosen location whereby we completed a numerous amount of shots using our two actors Bethany and Ben. They both worked really well together and also with us helping us to create the picture we wanted. When Jasmine arrived later on that day she watched us controlling the camera first and then had a go herself to gain some experience.

Filming Schedule

Day 1 of Filming: The first location we are going to use is Hadley walkway/park and my house Ellie Muir, Marriott road.
Date: Saturday midday 10/11/12






Monday 12th of November:
After filming with our two actors and watching the footage back we realised we haven't stuck to our origional idea and storyboard so we have now scheduled another filming day whereby we can film Jess for our lip syncing but aslo to re film parts of Bethany so that we can correct our story and to also think about visual metaphors we can add in.
Day 2 of Filming: We will be using the same location as before because we want the artist to fit in with the narrative we've already gone by with our actors.
Date: Saturday midday 17/11/12

Shot List


Here is a brief plan of what we are planning on shooting in the upcoming weeks:
  • low angle shots and mid shots of the couple messing around when walking through a park in the autumn
  • high angle shots, wide shots and tracking shots of the couple kissing
  • establishing shots of the Hadley walk way showing the autumnal setting
  • close ups of their hands and faces as they are intimate
  • wide shots of the couple moving around the park showing them in the autumn setting
  • over the shoulder shots of both of the couple texting
  • reaction shot showing the girl's facial expressions and emotions towards a text

Re-filming and Planning new filming dates and times


In the half term from the 26th of October to the 4th of November, Jasmine filmed some footage with our actors but unfortunatley me and Daisy couldn't be there so coming back to school we watched the footage and Jasmine said she found that she wasn't enitrley sure what we all wanted the shots and imagery to look like as we weren't all there to decide as a group, so she said it was difficult to direct our two actors so that they could create the situations/scenes we all wanted. So, collectively we discussed what would be the best option. Therefore i suggested using a connection of mine. My connection is my step dad and his friend, who have both worked in the media, tv and film business for a number of years. I then mentioned the project to my step dad and he contacted his friend Tom who then kindley agreed to let us use his equipment to film with.

We have now planned with my step dad and Tom and our actors a suitable time to meet for filming which will be on Saturday the 10th of November.
