today me and my group presented our video draft and we got feedback on it which i will be uploading in the next post

Editing day (14)

Today we continued synching the footage and we also lightened up some of the footage that was filmed in the dark, we added a swipe effect to the beginning and end. unfortunately our coloured smoke bombs have still not arrived so we improvised by adding in clips that we already have so, we are ready for the screening on Monday.

Editing day (13)

Today we encountered some issues with our footage some of it was looking unclear. we had to delete the footage and cut it in again. Our teacher gave us feedback that the cuts between the scenes were too fast and didn't look right. So we added transitions which made it look more professional .

Filming day (5)

Today was our fifth day of filming. We checked the weather beforehand and we were pleased to see that it wouldn't be raining and this was the case. The first location we went to was Mile End skate park. Unfortunately we did not find extra actors for this scene so we came to a decision that our music video will be performance based, we got our actor to lip synch in this scene. Also, we didn't get to film where we wanted because there was a lot of skaters however, we found a good place to film afterwards in the skatepark where there was no one skating and was a lot of nice graffiti. We thought that the graffiti complimented our actors clothing so we decided to take a few sample shots for our cd cover. We then went of to film next to excel. When we were creating the storyboards we weren't initially going to use excel however after few days of editing, we realised that the track was repetitive and as a result we thought some of the verses that weren't choruses were choruses, we wanted the footage to be the same for the same choruses, however a certain verse was not a chorus so we planned on shooting this verse near excel which is exactly what we did. We knew we wanted the location to be filmed at night because the lights would really set the scene so that's why we decided to shoot the Mile End skate park scene first so that it would become dark as we were heading to near excel. We had to use our torch on our phones so that the actors face would come up on the camera clearly. We had our storyboards with us and we ensured that we stuck to it and as a result, finished the filming quickly. We all had team roles (listed in a post below) in which we all stuck  to. Overall, I would say that it was a very productive day of filming as we filmed a few extra shots for the cd cover which will make us ahead of timings.
