post production - editing

I continued adding in the base tracks today along with more markers to help me place thing where I want them to go.

YELLOW - lip sync for the word walking, as on some clips I started singing from the word walking rather than I.

PINK - for where I wanted to add in the clip of the girls laughing/ looking at the image of the "bad boy'.

( the specific image was chosen because in the image the guy looks dangerous and his features are sharp)

ORANGE 1 - For where I will add in the clip of girls looking at the bad bad boy

ORANGE 2 - ''' Good boy 

The orange are simply an idea I am not 100% sure of I will use that idea, as I feel it may not fit.

After I finished adding in my base tracks, I begin placing marker in for the beats. Then when I finished adding the beats in, I sliced all the footage.

When editing I was deleting clips that i didn't want from the clips i had sliced at some point or another i confused myself and lost track, then ended up messing up way too much and forgetting what I was doing.

After a while I decided to just have fun with it and carry on then, start again from where i had added the beats in another day.

Further Editing

I have continued adding in my base tracks and to make the editing job easier for myself i have also colour co-ordinated my markers

Purple = where I will add in the base tracks of myself and Billie clapping
Turquoise = where the slow motion part of the song will come in / end

Review of 06.11.2014

Strengths:

• We have hopefully completed all filming and re shooting that needs to be done such as the projector scene and the re shoot outside in Angel.
• We filmed a variety of shots including close ups.
• We have successfully imported our footage onto the video drive and onto Final Cut Pro. 
• We have started to add markers to the footage we filmed today.
• It was relatively sunny today which added nice light to our clips.

Weaknesses:

• As we spent this lesson filming, we haven't been able to spend out lesson editing.
• The bubble scene is quite dark, which wouldn't work well in the music video as there is huge contrast between bright and dark. As we are using a bright and upbeat song, this wouldn't match the song and it looks too harsh so we won't be using the bubble projector part but we are still keeping the lips and flowers.

Improvements:

• To continue editing.

Editing - Second Day

We have spent the majority of today's lesson filming; the projector scene and outside in Angel (which is a reshoot). However, we did import our footage today onto the video drive and onto Final Cut Pro.

Here are the some mid shots with the variety of GIFs we choose to project onto Li and some screen shots of the process of uploading the videos onto our video and drive. We also used AirDrop to send each other pictures through different Macs.

Filming - Last Day (Hopefully)

Today we have reshooted the rest of our music video; we filmed the projector scene in room 333 and reshooted in front of the Love What You Do wall in Angel.

We found GIFs on Giphy that suited our fun, upbeat song such as bubbles, lips, flowers, and funky colourful moving images. Then we added the GIFs onto a powerpoint presentation and turned off all the lights in the room. We projected all the colourful girly gifs onto the projector and Li performed infront of the camera and filmed a close up and a mid shot. Close ups are effective as they are the most important shot and the mid shot is used to show the images on her. We also filmed a cut away shot of her just having fun and dancing that we could use when she isn't lip sycning in the video. After, we went out to re shoot the scene in front of the Love What You Do wall in Angel. Here a variety of shots were filmed, a close up, mid shot and a moving shot. All useful and effective in music videos!
