Before we re-filmed everything we really planned what we wnated our video to be about and the type of shots of angles. As we had done this it meant that our storyboards were completed fully meaning that when it came to film, everything could be filmed in order which was partly why we found it difficult in the first place.
As i had filmed everything in order it meant that editing became a lot easier as we knew where all of the relevant clips were. I had a filmed every shot at least twice from different angles just so that it gave us more to work with when editing, rather than spending even more time filming and less time editing. Editing hasn't taken us as long as did last time due to the fact that we planned well and all had similar ideas. Also as Lewis and Mitchell had learnt the words to the song it meant that the singing and lip syncing were better making it easier for us as well.

Editing...
We managed to film Miichell and this footage has now been imported. As Mitchell really pronounced his words when miming to the song, this has really helped us when it has come to the lip syncing. We have now started to add in Mitchell into the different of the song when we felt that it was necessary.
As we have now filmed Mitchell it means that we can carry on with the rest of the editing of the music video. We now only have the last section to do, which then means it can be played and it will hopefully just need tweeky for example; a slight bit of lip syncing out of time or shot that needs to be sped up a little bit.

Editing...
It has been to edit recently as we haven't been able to film Mitchell as it has been too wet. From what other people have seen of the video they said that continuity would be better if we had two singers one doing the rapping and the other doing the chrous. As a group we thought about this and how well it would work. As a result we decided that we would film it and fit it in and if it doesn't work then it can always be changed. We hopefully be bale to film Mitchell over the next couple of days.

Editing...
I have looked over what has been edited so far and we have about half of the song done. I looked back over the footage that was filmed to see what else we could use. We decided that we would start with the second part of the story, where the couple in the video are at the second location missing each other which is the park. What i liked about this was that we managed to use a lot of different shot ypes for example: an extreme close up of the watch to show the time and how long the girl had been waiting, and also a long shot when she is walking out and then when the boyfriend comes running in before he realises that hs ehas already left.

Editing...
The others in my group have been doing some editing and have managed to edit in and lip sync the singer. They have also managed to fill in part of the story up to where they have finished lip syncing due to the fact that when you lip sync and add other footage in around it the lip syncing gets moved, therefore making it harder as when you watch footage back you always have to rpelace the lip syncing to make sure that everything is right and still fits.

Editing...
So far for eediting, i have imported all the footage that i filmed. I filmed all of what was needed for the music video. Once i had imported all of the footage, i then started to edit. I managed to find the section of a clip that i wanted for example: for cutting the clip where the alarm clock goes off, i made sur the markers were in the right place by pressing I and then where i wnated the clip to end i pressed O. Once i had done this i then dragged the clip onto the timeline, to where i wanted the clip to play in time with the music.

Editing....
We have tried to edit rhythmically to the music as this is a convention of music videos and is also Bordwin's and Thompson's theory. This is coming along really well as we have also lip synced Lewis and Mitchell singing to the original song. As the genre of the song is Grime/Hip Hop, i have looked at other videos of this type and noticed that the artist is seen singing either within the linear narrative or outside of this. As Lewis pronounced his words clearly when miming to the song, this helped when editing as it meant that i could clearly see what part of the song my footage needed to be synced to and how well this would fit in with the story of the video.

Change of plan for filming....
The filming has now changed as it has been hard to find a time where Charlotte and Lee can be filmed at the same time. I thought of filming two other people instead so that all the footage can be done which just leaves the editing. I have kept to the storyboards and what we had agreed when we decided to change our idea.
Filming....
Lee and Charlotte have now been filmed at a train station with lee mssing charlotte as he is late. We have shown this by Charlotte walking in and buying a ticket and then zooming in on the station clock. The next shot is then of Charlotte walking out as she has given up which is then with a shot of her watcxh showing how long she has waited. Lee then comes running in showing he knows he is late but then the camera pans round to show that no one is waiting for him. By using this it has been filmed so that Charlottes feet and legs can just been seen so that other effects can be added such as: you could show Charlotte walking out and Lee walking as these two clips can be cropped together.

Editing...
The last couple of time we have gone to edit we have found this difficult as our video has been jumping which makes it hard to use rhythmic editing as it all freezes, this is also hard as the song doesn't always play, which makes it hard to fit the editing to the music. However even though we could not necessarily edit in new stuff but we went back over what we already had and made sure that what we had fitted really well and that there was also not a lot of repitition. I felt that by doing this it gave us time to reflect on what we had already done and also made us realise that we definately needed to do some more filming and re-shooting.
Filming....
I have been out and filmed all the footage for the music video. I filmed at 3 different locations for example: I needed to different houses to show the two different characters getting ready and leaving their homes. Next i filmed at a train station as i needed to show the characters missing each other and then at a park to show them missing each other again. I used many different shot types for this such as a lot of close up and mid shot. Some of them were long as you needed to see each character entering the location to help with continuity. For the ending when the characters finally meet each other i thought that as the man had been the one that was late it would be good to have him showing up and the girls front door even though this is a bit cheesy i thought that it could work quite well when editing as you could add different effects to make it more interesting so that the audience could relate to it.
Whilst filming as well i used lots of different angles as this would give us more when editing as well rather than just seeing the character faces all the times. When the characters are coming down the stairs at the train station i used a low angle and this then changes to a high angle when the get to the bottom which could be played around with when editing.
Once i had done this i took this back into school to show the rest of my group and they were pleased as everything had been done and as i had filmed it from many different angles and shot types it meant that there was more to work with when editing.
