Filming and Editing - Update 3

On the 22nd of February we filmed for the narrative section of the music video. Based on previous suggestions, we filmed the whole song a few times. This did make it easier to match it to the music and so we will do this when filming again. When filming, we faced few problems and it went relatively well.

The 25th of February was dedicated to re-filming a few sections. Although we had previously thought we wouldn't need to re-film, we had already set this time aside. We therefore took the opportunity to perfect some slightly imperfect shots.

We had a slight hiccup in the editing. The music file had, for unknown reasons, been corrupted and no longer worked. However, this was easily resolved by deleting the music and then adding the file back into premiere pro. The rest of the editing process is coming along well.

The Editing Process

To edit the music video, we are using Premiere Pro. This software is easy to use whilst having a professional overall look. The windows can be expanded to see things better. The bar and the bottom represents are music video clips. This makes them easy to arrange and to manipulate the whole thing.





The software has a wide range of present we are using in our music video. This includes video transitions and colour corrections. These will be used to make the shots move to one another seamlessly as well as adding a range of effects.

Filming and Editing - Update 2

We filmed the 2nd auditioning parts on the 28th of January. We encountered a few of the same issues as last time through being disturbed. However, we were disturbed on a lesser scale as there were fewer people around. Most of the shots were successful but we had some technical issues. The camera kept cutting out and the filming was interrupted. However, we worked with this and got some successful footage.

The 3rd of February was dedicated to re-filming some of the audition shots - both inside and outside. This was done to make the shots more steady and frame them better. We also re-filmed some due to the lip-syncing being off. We were successful and this means we may not have to re-film any other shots. However, we have planned for additional re-filming time just in case we do need it.

In the editing process we have had a few issues with the lip syncing. We have been finding it difficult to line the footage up with the song. We will continue to work on this. It has been suggested that we film the whole song in order to match up the lip syncing. We will take this into consideration when filming.

We gained some feedback from our target audience and the main thing that continued to come up was that the narrative was unclear. We will work on this and aim to make the narrative clear by adding a number of things including clapperboard shots to indicate the audition parts and some shots of practising while in a home setting.
