Explanaition

Explanation


Due to  my partner getting kicked out of school i was not able to complete the full music video on my own. I managed to get more than half of the footage filmed by myself and now that i have not got a partner to work with i will be working in a three with two other boys Connor and jack. Connor and jack have nearly finished their music video and i am now helping them with it as well. I will be helping with re shooting and editing and i will be adding some of my own ideas that could make the music video better. I will also be uploading all the shots i have done to show you how much i could do while i was by myself. Now i have just been editing with my new group and i don't think i will have anything to do with the old one again.

This week my group and I have finished the final edit of our music video production. We had to go through the whole music video to check if there were any gaps in the music video. Then after we checked the rough part was all up to date we started adding in effects to make the music video lively and interesting to watch. We also added transitions to make the music video flow. These parts were very important to include in our music video as it looks much better with all the effects and transitions in it. Our teacher then went through the music video to check if it was good enough to export and it was good enough. We also had to record another performance part of the music video as our partner is ill and hasn't been in the week and he is the one with the memory card that we recorded with. But now we have fully finished our music video and have exported it. Now we have to check that all of our blog posts are up to date because they are about to get marked. I don't I  really have anything to do next week as I have finished the music video and have also finished the blog posts and everything else. If we did have anything to do last week I think it would have something to do with uploading the music video to YouTube but other than that i am not sure what we will be doing next week.

This week my group and i have finished the rough edit of our music video which is due for next week. We have been making sure that our music video has been cutting to the beat throughout the whole music video when editing. We have also added a wide range of jump cuts to make it interesting for the audience and we also filmed two extra parts which performance was coming from the two actors. We filmed the two characters in different locations so we have a range of locations to include in our music video. We had to include these things in our music video otherwise the video would of not looked that good and this also helps us achieve a higher grade if we are doing things to make it better. Next week we should have finished our music video and started checking our blog posts to ensure there is nothing missing. My group might have to record the performance part again as one of the members from the group are really ill and he was the one holding the memory card after we've recorded that part so if he is not in next week me and another group member will go out to film some performance which will take place outside sitting on a bench as we felt that it links with the music video.

This week i have joined a new group with two boys Connor and jack I had to join their group because my partner has been kicked out of school. I have been helping my new partners edit and i have also found some clips from my music video that would perfectly fit into theirs which saves us time when filming. Next week I need to re shoot with my partners because some shots in the music video were quite dark and you were not able to see properly. We are also going to add some performance shots into the music video so it makes it interesting to watch as the music video felt slow when watching it. All of this fits in with the music video because it is all making our music video look much better to watch. It also allows the viewers to engage with the music video as there is a clear story line to it. I have filmed on the weekend and while i was filming i have included better shots so it was clear and you could get a clear picture. We also added the performance part in which makes our music video better. We filmed in the park and in a public shopping center to make the music video look pleasing when the viewers watch it.

This week i will carry on filming since i have not yet completed all my shots on my own. I will probably be filming on the weekend on both days and most of these shots will be in the same location from where I was filming before the people that will be helping me are Connor Monique Kori and jack and they will be actors in my music video. Since I haven't got a partner I will be changing things up so some stuff won’t be the same as my shooting script. I have lost a few actors as well because of time reasons but I did come up with some backup actors. The filming is relevant to my work because if i do not finish filming then I will not be able to produce a finished music video which will result in me failing. Next week i will have just about finished my music video and have gone back to editing the music video. If my partner has to leave school I will be put into a group with new people preferably a group that has not done that much because that way i will be able to involve myself more in the group and hopefully it will get me a higher mark.

Production Log Week 5


This week I have been struggling to record because my partner has not showing up. Apart from that that I have still tried to get as many shots as I could. I have filmed some shots with Michael and I have captured a few good shots. I filmed at the location where it is set outside on the street due to the fact that some actors were not able to film that day but i managed to find a way around it. I have also been editing the parts I have recorded it is hard to edit without all of your shots because there is not a starting point you just have to put the shots anywhere and it does not match up. I have also been struggling with the editing because it is not really one of my strong points in media and i also do not have a partner and it is a shame because my partner could edit to an acceptable standard. If my partner still stays in school he will be able to finish editing and i will just carry on with the filming part and hopefully i should finish that soon. Next week i will carry on gathering more shots to complete the music video. I was thinking of getting more shots with Michael because some of the parts that he was lip syncing were off so it would be good idea to go over them again.

Production Log Week 4

This week I have finished all of the planning assets to the final production. I have completed the location reeccie Which was too pick out all of the hazards of where i was going to be filming and i also had to think of a way to prevent these hazards. I also created a production log this allows me to see what days to film and it lets me stick to a specific date to make sure i do not fall behind. I have finished all 3 of my risk assessment forms and this is where I had to think about the risks in the locations I was using. All of these things are relevant to my music video because without it I would not be able to even start filming. Next week I will fully start filming my music video with my partner. I will be filming all the party shots because that was the hardest part and i just want to get it out the way so we have the simple parts at the end. I am going to film the party shots in the basement as it looks like a party scene in there and it depends on the way you use the camera to give it that party effect. The party parts are quite simple to film and it is not that long some I don't think it will be that hard to film.
