Completed Editing

All footage included and changes completed. Fellow classmates have seen snippets of the video throughout the editing process, enabling us to amend any changes. The video has a professional feel and suits the genre of music. It was important to make sure the video matched the artist and the type of song, we feel that has been achieved and the editing process being successful.

Since addind extra footage, editing has been continued. Transitions have been included and colour effects have also been added such as black and white. The reason why black and white has been used is to represent the past memories so that it reduced confusion for the audience. The present moments were left in colour. To keep the video interesting and appealable fast re-winds were included.

Editing is still taking place. However the issue that was noticed was the lack of footage to include in the filming. As there was not enough various creative ideas had to be thought of such as; filming more outdoors, including written lyrics, more lip synching and other shots of the boy and girl together. After airing various ideas including written lyrics was the most creative and appropriate idea to include.
Filming was then done outside in the field at college, we used the leaves as a background for the paper sticking with the outdoor theme. Certain lyrics were picked out and written. The lyrics will work as a substitute for lip synching.

Editing was continued today. We have started to add transitions into the music video and trying out different effects which may be suitable for the video. However we noticed that there may not be as much footage as we expected. So new ideas were thought of and we included new footage. This idea wasn't included in the mood board. Adding extra footage will lengthen the video and possibly make it more creative.

All the footage is now on Final cut pro we can now start placing the footage onto the time line. Before all re-organising the clips the audio for little birds was uploaded so that the lip synching clips can be included and matched. At this point no transitions will be included as were placing all clips in the appropriate order.

Today we uploaded the rest of the footage and looked at all the clips we filmed. A selection of the best clips were downloaded onto Final Cut Pro.

Filming: Part Two

We finished our filming today. Some shots were re-filmed; however we had a slight complication with the female actor as she was un-available. We found a replacement and managed to continue with the filming and got a range of footage to select from. Some was filmed in a cafe, bus and on a street corner. Other changes had to made such as removing the scene of alcohol bottles as we didn't have enough for the scene so filming in the house was no longer necessary.

Fimling: Part One

Today was the first shoot for filming. The filming took place in Hollow Pond. We filmled with one of the actors in park capturing various shots of him lip synching alone and movements shots. However a few adjusments were made on where we had the actor perform his shot, but it happened to work out well and carry on with the theme been created. In the next filming session we will capture the male actor by himself again to catch more of his emotion whilst singing the song.
