the editing process (construction)

The editing process was fairly long because it is a music video which are usually made up of short clips with a lot of effects, and so the footage that we got had to be broken up into small clips with quick transitions in order to keep the viewer entertained, however the video still had to remain in some order to follow the narrative of the song and so the footage had to be carefully constructed. We also had to pay attention to how the video looked alongside the music and had to make sure that the images would match the music in terms of mood and lyrics at the different stages in the song, which is why the editing is quicker in some areas of the song.

We finished off the filming today with the final shots that we needed for the chorus part of the video and have edited it together which completes the filming part of our video which leaves the editing part which would finish off the film.

We had to return to raf upwood on tuesday the 22nd as we didn't get enough footage from the first time we went. This went well and we ended up getting a lot of important shots for the final peice, however because of extraneous problems some of our original cast members couldn't come and witht the final deadline for the production so close we decided that we would go ahead with the filming without these characters which meant that the storyboard had to be adapted in order to make account for these absences which was difficult but we agreed that it was important for us to get the footage which we could mingle with the old film and still create the same effect that we wanted. We decided to film the main chorus part of the video in a diffrent indoor location to the rest of the film which would put more emphasis on this part, we think this would keep with the conventions of other music videos also as the chorus is repetitive and so the video is also repetitve along isde this and in a location that seperates itself from the other clips. We also decided this because of the fact that we couldn't find a very good location that would be appropriate in raf upwood

Filming (consruction)

We did the first part of our filming on Friday 1 October, we filmed the parts that were in the school because this was the easiest to do and was available at the time, it will also mean that we can get the first part out of the way which will allow us more time to get the second part done which will require more travelling, it will also give us a section that we could show to people so that they get the general idea of what the video is going to be like. It also gives us an idea of how its going to look with the music and if it fits right or not.
