Filming and Editing so far...

We have nearly finsihed filming as there are a couple of things that we could film in order to make our music video better, such as filming a group of people walking in a place like sutton high street and then editing it so that it becomes fast, but however this is similar to the original video. I like the footage we have so far, however i feel that a couple of things could be re-shot like Lee and Charlotte walking down the road together as i feel that this could have been filmed with a better angle and made slightly more interesting. If we did film anything else it wouldn't take that long as we know what we want to do and how we want it to look like.

What i don't like about the music video is that at the moment it seems to look quite boring, however this could change when we start to edit and put everything we have together.

After we had imported everything we weren't sure on how to edit it as we didn't have the track and also as we needed to go through all our footage in order to decide what we liked and din't like. In the end we mostly agreed on what we liked such as there was a shot of a smily faced model against a silver bin looking happy. We liked it as it made a change to what we had got in the beginning and as also as we had changed our idea, it fitted in with that to.

We have also added the track to it now which means we can start to edit it to the beat of the music. By having the music it means that we can also see what fits well and what doesn't and how we could possibly make it more intersting by using the effects on 'Final Cut'.

We started to put things on the time line such as clipsthat we thought we could edit without the music and we also played around with these such as we managed to change the a clip so that it was seen diagonally and we also managed to crop this picture so that there was a greater focus on the smiley faced model. We also editied things so that a clip could be cut in different places so that when it was played it jumped between all the differnt shots quickly.

Overall i think that the music video has come together as the project has progressed. I felt that at the beginning of this it was very slow moving and that the song was not motivating us as we found it hard to come up with different ideas as we were trying not to copy the original video. I think however that once we have started to eidt and we are seeing that it will look good then we might feel different about it. I think the work we have done though is up to the same standard as everyone. Most of our effects will most probably come from the editing.
