Wednesday 26th October 2011 / Wednesday 2nd November 2011

On both these days I edited the music video using Final Cut Pro. I had to chop up three different files of footage, whilst making sure they flowed well throughout the video and also making sure that the cuts sat well with the different lyrics during the song. The only bit of footage that I didn't fill was a brief 30second period during the clip where I aim to put footage of children or something along those lines in just to break it up a bit and make the clip have a bit more atmosphere / appeal. I also added in an Album cover to the beginning of the clip as well as make scrolling text credits at the end on the video.

Today we filmed the music video in the photography studio. We set up 3 cameras. One camera was set on a wide mid shot which we centered using the HD camera. The other two camera's we setup either side of the room and angled them in towards Jess and Oliver across them. We only needed 20mins to set up thanks to the help from Cam, Damo, Sarah and Taylah. Once we were setup we started shooting. We got what we needed in the first take which was great. Overall it was a successful shoot and hopefully the footage will look good once on the computer. Next week I plan to start editing the clip.

First lesson back for term 4 we worked on out tutorials. Taylah and myself also organised our filming schedule for our music video. We planned to film the clip in the photography studio using 3 cameras. We aimed to make the photography studio look like a recording studio by setting up a microphone. If all goes according to plan then we should be able to film next week in class.
