Production Log: Week 7

What have you contributed to this week?

This week me and my partner continued on with editing. We had managed to get the intro, first verse and chorus edited and finalised. We had realised how difficult it would be to peice together shots in a totally new programme to us and found ourselves looking at a lot of You Tube tutorials. We also did some extra filming of the shots that we needed to do in school were i was involved in on my own during lesson time as our cast had their own lessons to attend too. 



How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project?

I am pleased to say that we are on track and on target. We are at a good place at this moment during the task. Although we have gone through some glitches due to the circumstance of our cast not being able to turn up, but we are still on target and are very happy with our upcoming shots. The job roles have been split between both myself and Prinul and we have really worked together and gelled as a team 

Were there any problems?


There was the issue of the introduction of our piece. In previous weeks we had wanted there to be a beginning introduction before the song begins. The reason for this would be because we wanted to give the audience the foundations of the music video so it will make the production much more clarified. We thought we had enough footage for this beginning sequence but when it came to the editing of the music video, myself and Prinul had noticed that it wasn't flowing nicely and looked way to jumpy. We instantly wanted to change this as it wasn't a good start to the music video and it gives a bad idea to the audience to what the rest of it may look like. 

How did you/will you overcome them?


We initially thought that the introduction would look better if we had added more effects and slowed down individual clips. When doing so we realised it looked awful and too over done. We then said we would re shoot the clips and make sure there was not a lack of match on action so it will flow much nicer. But with the deadline slowly approaching we decided to totally scrap the introduction, this didn't ruin the song at all as the song wouldn't begin till after the introduction. 


What are the plans for the following week?


We are going to shoot some extra footage on the chorus to change up the shots and add more close ups. We will also continue the editing process and work toward fridays deadline.
