Week 7 Production Log

What have you contributed to this week?
This week me and Jasmeet continued on with our diting. We had managed to get the intro, first verse and chorus edited and finalised. We had realised how difficult it would be to put together shots in a totally new programme to us and found ourselves looking at a lot of YouTube tutorials to help us with editing. We also did some extra filming of the shots that we needed to do in school were I had to film Jasmeet in shots of her walking into the school receptions which is meant to be the hotel. We then uploaded this onto final cut express.


How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project?
 
I am pleased to say that we are on track and on target. We are at a good place at this moment during the task and are not falling behind. Although we have gone through some problems due to the our cast not being able to turn up when we needed them,but we are still on target and are very happy with our upcoming shots. The job roles have been split between both myself and Jasmeet and we have really worked together and helped each other in each task.
Were there any problems?


There was the issue of the introduction of our piece. In previous weeks we had wanted there to be a beginning introduction before the song begins. The reason for this would be because we wanted to give the audience the foundations of the music video so that the audience understand the rest of the song much more.  We thought we had enough footage for this beginning sequence but when it came to the editing of the music video, we both had noticed that it wasn't flowing nicely and looked way to jumpy and the lighting in some of the shots was very bad. We wanted to change this as it wasn't a good start to the music video and it gives a bad idea to the audience to what the rest of it may look like. 
How did you/will you overcome them?


 To overcome these problems we decided to get ride of the opening of our music video, this then gave us time to focus more on the actually song so that it looks at good as it can.

What are the plans for the following week?


We are going to shoot some extra footage on the chorus to change up the shots and add more close ups. We will also continue the editing process and work toward fridays deadline.
