gutted

today i missed the bus and was late for lesson my 34 minutes
bad times

the others are filming out in town
i think they are filming some urban, scenic city shots
theyare going to be filming around some run down places by the Grafton center

They should come out well and hopefully we get get some good lighting on them, so that we dont have to rely on editing the shots to make them look good

the shots will mainly focus on the narrative side of the video.

shots needed to be completed:

Lots more walking down streets, up stairs and meeting people. Standing by walls singing verses.
Particually second n third verse. Stuff on Jesus green. Shots on buses.

Rough Cut

This is our rough cut:

We didnt quite get enough footage, so we were only able to edit it up to the first chorus
However we are quite happy with how some of the shots have turned out.


In future we are looking to get some effects on the shots to make them look more effective, and make them look more like they should be in a professional music video.

Another thing that we need to concentrate on, is getting the lip sinking in time, at times it looks a little bit edgy, and out of time. We need an Istation.

Finally we plan on getting, is some better props, such as a microphone, and a microphone stand, to make it look like he actually preforming to an audience.

Targets

Our targets to improve our blog:

• More analysis on some of the music videos
• Develop ideas more
• Do a full shot list to show what will be happening
• More cinematic ideas e.g. shot types and angles
  

Blog assessment feedback

We received a lot of feedback from the rest of the group about our blog, most of it good feedback but some comments were for us to improve. Other groups liked our analysis on student work and band research. We received comments suggesting that our genre was a mixture of indie/soft rock and pop. Although, other groups told us we needed more in-depth analysis and a shot list.
