Today we had our preview for our music video, we finished our video off for today however there are certain elements to the music video that need changing. For instance it needs to match the beat of the music far more and there are certain clips like for instance where Molly is playing a radiator as a piano that need taking out of the music video. I will put the information from the feedback sheets on my blog later today, we are taking all of the feedback collectively in mind and hope to make all the necessary changes.

Yesterday was our final day of filming, the only other filming we will need will be one day after school and only quickly to film some stop-start animations. I have looked over all of our footage and showed people for feedback it is all looking really good at the moment. We hope to be finished by February half-term. There really is not much left to do in the editing stages and now that we have all had a go at editing Si Hin will just add the final touches after our preview to the class. We will hopefully get more constructive views from people during our preview.

Today will be our final day of filming, we hope to film some more stop-start animations as we like this aspect to our music video. We hope to film a few of Molly moving around the gallery floor. I may incorporate some nature shots and do some stop-start animations with trees perhaps or the sky, to show the change in the clouds and the overcast.

Today Si Hin, Libby and I filmed another couple of scenes in the school's gallery. We shot scenes that involved Molly throwing and attacking the parachute men, one scene in particular she was laying on the floor with the fallen parachute men and confetti around her. Another scene involved Molly lip syncing and a lot of the filming involved us just leaving the camera on record and letting Molly Randomly act silly without the pressure of having to be funny or strange. Luckily with the rest of our filming we have found in the editing that a lot of the outtake footage we have been able to use in our music video as it works perfectly in showing how insane she is. Today has been a successful day for editing also as we are nearly finished, we have one more filming day left for Monday and then the rest of the week up until Friday will be used for tightening up or editing. I am happy of what we have done so far especially with our stop start animations that we are filling our music video to the brim with, they fit the bands artsy and unusal ethos.

Today we uploaded the footage from Bostall Woods and at the end of the day me and Si Hin stayed behind to edit the footage and our whole music video, we are of course still missing a bit of footage. However we will film the missing footage this week and next. We aim to be finished on our deadline, we are not far off of this deadline either. The footage so far looks very good, I shall take some stills of us editing our footage and put them on my blog in a post to show research and planning.

Edits of Digipak Photos

This is just another photo for my final digipak, I am not completely happy with it's editing as I think it has harsh red and orange tints to the photograph. However tomorrow in our double lesson I hope to finish editing all of my digipak photos and put them in to place for my final digipak template.

Today we filmed Molly our lead singer out in Bostall Woods she was in her peaceful outfit, being a bit strange, quirky and feminine in a tea party. The shots add some really nice variety to the music video, the sunlight looks really effective in adding a serene vibe to the music video. I filmed the shots with a flip HD camera and a tri-pod and Libby took photos as we may possibly add still shots to our music video. We do not have much filming to do, just more artsy type shots such as the confetti and parachute men. We may need to do some more filming in the woods perhaps on a dark day to add a sense of pathetic fallacy to our music video, where the weather matches the mood so when she's crazy in the woods and eccentric the weather will be dark and brooding. We are editing whilst still filming so we are on good timing and should be finished on schedule.
