Evaluation of our progress

We have made the first draft of our music video and so far we are happy with it. There are only a few shots we are not entirely happy about and we plan to shoot these again, as well as other shots that the feedback indicates we need changing.

We are unhappy with the attic shots as we do not feel it ties in with the theme of our video, therefore we plan to shoot those in an exterior location, similar to the ones also used in our video. After already re-shooting the attic shots once due to incsuffiecient light, we thought these were more imporved and appropraite to use, however when watching them with the rest of the footage, we can see it doesn't look right and doesn't portray the ideas we had for the video. We plan to keep the same outfit for the refilm as we really like the burgandy dress that Rosa-Leigh wears.

 

 

We may consider re-shooting the fuzzy & blurred nature shots that we used to create a homemade, vintage effect, to see if they make the video look like a better quality.

 

When editing the footage we found no major problems arose, and we were able to successfully create our draft before the deadline. Because the footage was on George's iMac we could not edit the footage in school, so we used free periods and after school time to create our video, whilst working on our Digipak's and blogs at school. We found this was actually a good thing as even though we could only edit at home, we managed to get everything else done, and finish the video with days to spare. Editing the video, although fun, was stressful at times because shots we had taken did not look good at first, but with editing and transitions, cutting at appropriate times and coordinating it with the music, we managed to make it work.

 

We both think that working as a team on this project so far has been beneficial, as the work load has been shared, and time has been spent together editing and working on our joint blog.
