Week nine blog reflection

Week nine

This week has allowed us to see what we filmed during half term. We started to edit the footage we filmed in the half term. This then allowed us to see what we have to film next time. This weeks main decision was deciding what footage went where when editing the clips with the song. We both felt that we still need to film more however i was really happy with the footage we had and the footage we edited together. From the shot list i think we filmed about 20 shots in one day. We filmed many shots in he day we filmed but we found that we didn't get the artist lip syncing to all the song. So we only have certain lines which are lip synced in that location. However the narrative side of our video is coming along better than i thought. Editing was a little bit of a challenge because we haven't really edited using final cut, but once we edited twice it got easier. Final cut allowed us to add different and more difficult aspects to our work unlike I Movie. We had to use YouTube and the teachers to help us a little as we had trouble with one of the clips. The lighting was too dark to use but we liked the shot, we figured out how to change the colour but the shot didn't look right. We have already added a lot of footage which means we have a lot more time to edit and re film if we have to. Our plan is to film on Monday and then edit the clips in on Tuesday so we know where we are and what we have to film again. Our main concern is getting shot where the artist is lip syncing and in the studio as we need to fill the middle and end bit of the song. This week has made me more confident about our idea as its coming together as we edit and film. Hopefully by the end of next week we will have a draft to show to our teacher and get feedback.
