Week 6 Production Log

What have you contributed to this week?

This week we had imported all of our filming we had done into final cut express. This task took a lot of time because we had a lot of footage to unload and look at. We looked at all of the footage and sored through it to see what one we were doing to use for our music video, according to our shooting script. We also watch a few tutorials on YouTube, which gave up a simple idea on how to use final cut express, because it was our first time using it. We also started to edit out first few shots we wanted in our music video.  

How does this fit with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project?

We are currently sticking to our production schedule, and are not falling being on filing or editing. We stuck to our job role because I was the main person to edit the music, with Jasmeet as the director telling me what she liked and how she wanted certain shot to looks. We were lucky that we are on the same wave length because the ideas that we both put across was liked by the other person, so we did not have to try and find a compromise when editing. We had also experimented with a lot of tools in this programme such as the Cross-Dissolve and Fades.

Were there any problems?

When we looked at the footage we noticed that some shots had lighting issues, we tried to lighten them up on final cut express, be the shot looked very unreal and fake. We when decided that we had to re film them shots in order to get the lighting on point. Also when looking through the footage we noticed that we did not film some shots and some shots we did film needed were not sung with a lot of passion by jasmine. So we had to go back to the school studio to re-film them.


How did you/will you overcome them?
To solve this problem we had to re shoot which was not a problem because we were on schedule and were able to fit in a time to do the footage, which made use not fall behind. We are glad we did as it looks much better than it did before. We made sure that the lighting was much brighter naturally which enabled the camera to pick up on facial expressions of each actor much more better.  

What are the plans for the following week?
The following week will consist of re shooting the darker shots and school studio shots. We will also be continuing on with the editing to get closer to finishing out music video
