Music Video

Production Log Week 7

This week was deadline week, me and my partner were under a lot of pressure, as we still needed to record some more scene's in a studio on the day of the deadline, this week we had to complete the music video to the best standard possible, so that we could stay on schedule. 

Although we were behind in terms of work we managed to stay on deadline and we were able to stick to our production schedule. Me and my partner were finding it very difficult to edit as we needed to re-do a shot but the problem was that the actor was off sick due to being this meant us delaying by a day, however on the day of the deadline me and my partner recorded the shot again and we also edit the whole music video that day.

We had many problems this week, we found it very difficult to edit as we could not understand what the actor was lip syncing, by not understanding what he was actually saying we had to re-record specific lines so it looked better. On deadline day me and my partner stayed back after school so we could meet deadline.

This week we have finished the music video to the best standard possible, me and my partner gave all the effort possible could, however i thought that if we had more time we could have got it to a better standard. Making this music video has allowed me to gain skills that i could use next time, for example use time efficiently because when you are editing it is all about time.

Production Log Week 6

This week by far was the most hardest i believe as we were very productive as a group as we done a lot of things, We re-shot two scene's after finishing the rough edit on Tuesday, however we still have two more scenes to do this will be done on Monday, we recorded a new scene which we thought was needed this was a scene of the artist and then in the shot we see him fading, after we shot all the scenes we uploaded the work on the macs then transferred it on to final cut express and then carried on editing, after finishing editing me and my partner have decided to shot more performance this will be done on the deadline day and will be edited then uploaded to the music on the same day this is possible if we work really hard. 

We are slightly behind schedule but should be okay as long as me and Asad are focus on what we are doing, we fell a bit behind as our artist was not in on Friday due to him getting injured after stepping on a screw this meant we had to wait till his back in on Monday, hopefully we can record the performance scene and upload same day. 

This week we had a few problems first problem was that i had fallen ill this week, which meant me not be in, this meant my partner working on his own when i wasn't in, however my partner has been editing non-stop and has done the quality to a good standard. The second problem this was that on Friday we were meant to re-film some shot, however the actor was not in as they were injured which means we are slightly behind.

Next week the plans are that we finish the re filming on the same day then we can complete the editing of it and then finish the music video, Next week will be a challenging week as we all know editing is time consuming, if we work hard it will pay off.   

Production log week 5

This week we were very close to finishing editing, we still have a little bit left to edit and then as a group we will see if we can improve our music video, we have also added the song to the music video by downloading it to the mac, this gave us a better understanding of the song, we also made sure that we cut to the beat by starting different shots when the beat came in, this made the music video more entertaining and enjoyable as there are more shots.

This week we were meant to finish the rough edit by Friday, however due to editing taking time we will have to finish on Monday, also we will make sure we catch up and get to schedule by working extra hours outside of lesson time.

When we were editing the music video we found it very difficult to put the lip syncing in as we recorded the performance three times in different positions, this made it difficult for us to put it in but we did after a lot of time. To download the song was very hard as we could not due to school restriction on the internet, this meant us having to wait to get home and getting the song on a USB stick.

Next week we will be looking at our music video and checking if we need to record any of the scenes again, this will be done on Tuesday after school, and we will also carefully listen to the music video and check if all the shots are cutting to the beat, this will make our music video more entertaining and amusing.
