November 2014

Week 1 -2 
This was the time where we filmed most of our shots and most of the editing took place. We found it better to spend most of this time editing our video. Through doing this, we had more time to add to it as we knew now exactly what shots fitted best in the video, although some were very different to our storyboard. This was because some of the shots that we had planned to do were too hard for us to film, or we had tested the shot against the music and incorporated it in the video and found that it didn't work as well as other shots or ideas that we had. This was were we spent time tweaking the video. We wanted a first draft to be completed by the week after. 

This week we made our band social media. We had to make Facebook and Instagram profiles for each member of our group. This was to connect the members to our audience. This is a presentation of what we made:




Week 3 
By this time we had created the first rough draft of our video. We had made a title page and edited the basic shots. This draft is extremely basic and we had received feedback already as to what to change.

This is our first draft: 

We are very new to editing music videos and this is shown. Also feedback from our class and respondents of an interview said that our main singer should be more confident with lip syncing. This is what we have to alter in our next time filming and editing. 

We also had to develop our research. We looked at research on props and location to find where we wanted to film and what we should wear and use. We looked at similar genres of our video and used this as inspiration for our video.
Last week of November
With my class we went on a trip to the BFI, where we learnt how to make an effective music video. This helped my group and I make our video as good as possible. We had to go to London for this trip, this gave us the opportunity to film some shots in London as we didn't have a lot of time to get up to London to film. The shots were filmed on London Southbank, during the Christmas season and they fitted well within our video.

We then started to film our video. We had a challenge as it was hard to film the shots that we wanted to do were based around the summer and due to it becoming winter. With the weather changing we had to use the last bits of sunlight
