Week 12 blog reflection

Week 12

This week we have only focused on editing and getting our first draft done by Thursday which we did. We still need to include transitions and manipulate a few clips but overall i am happy with our first draft. I really want to get  feedback from class mates as they will be our target audience so we can change things that don't appeal to them. This will be done in Mondays lesson, giving us the other half to carry on editing. Our deadline is next week meaning the pressure is on to finish the editing. Our main decision this week was deciding if we wanted to keep a location in the music video as we didn't have enough shots of our artist in this location and we had too many locations in the music video. I left one clip of him in there so i can see what people in class think on Monday. We also decided to change the filters on the behind the scene clips. We went from black and white to red because we watched a few music videos and we saw that indie genres tend to had either a red filter somewhere in the music video or red lights. We also decided to make the narrative black and white so people knew which parts are narrative as we have the artist in both the narrative and performance. We got this idea from Ed Sheerans video as we felt it was more effective. 

Next weeks the final deadline to edit the music video which has come very fast but i fell like the music video is what i planned it to be like. I am happy with the clips and editing we have done and i feel that we have met the genre of our music. We will meet this deadline however we still have finishing touches to do such as the transitions and making clips more shorter.

This week also was easier due to the fact that i felt more confident with final cut and was able to edit the clips more easily making production time more effective due to the YouTube clip.
