Group Meeting - 06/12/12

Today we had to upload all of the footage from our 2 days of shooting as well as all the photos we took on set. It took ages to upload everything from the SD cards but now we have completed this we have divided all our footage into actual footage, behind the scenes footage, and photographs, this way we can easily access what we need.

Now we have done this we can get onto uploading the film into Final Cut and begin editing!

Group meeting 20/11/12

Today we dissected the lyrics of our song and discussed what we wanted each line to look like on film and what shots we would do. We strategically went through the lyrics and made annotations of our ideas of what we envisage each verse and chorus to look like. I was very pleased with the work we got done as I feel a lot more confident of exactly what we want the video to look like and exactly what we will film on the shooting days and now we have begun to storyboard. Now it is very clear what we want to achieve.

Group Meeting 13/12/12

In today's sessions Ella, Madihah and I were further discussing what exactly we want our video to look like, we looked at some music videos that had the sort of look that we want to enhance in our music video. We were also discussing when we plan to shoot our film. Next week in our local area the Christmas lights are to be switched on and so we plan to do some filming then as we want to capture the togetherness and festivity of Christmas which will contribute to the happy and feel good vibe that we wish to achieve. We hope to have all our filming done within the next 3 weeks in order to have our rough cut done before the Christmas holiday.

Group Meeting:Complete change of idea!

In todays lesson my group and I had a revelation as we thought that our original pitch for 'Hey Mickey' was getting far to complex and was going to be very difficult to actually get all the characters together to film and perform, as well as edit all the footage.

I personally always thought our original idea would have looked really good if it was made properly, but unfortunately we do not have the time/money/expertice/resources to produce it to the standard that would have been worth our while.

We have decided to make a music video for a completely unknown musical due named Brandon and Leah, and their song named 'Life Happens'. The song is very upbeat and happy, with a folk feel and I believe we can produce something very artistic and interesting to look at with a variety of locations and shots etc...I think this idea is far less cheesy and far less restricted, it gives us more opportunity to be creative and let our artistic ideas flow!

I will soon post a new moodboard on my blog in accordance with our new song choice, as well as further details to do with our planning.
