editing

this is a video of our editing timeline, we came up with the idea of making the introduction a series of establishing shots, with a fast cutting rate.Also, we made it black and white so it will break into colour after the kick, this is impactful because it makes the colours stand out more, and is a good build up for the 1st shot of the artist.

team meeting on shooting

Here's a print of when we were planning on going to the waterloo graffiti tunnel to shoot one our scene's with our dancers and cut aways

We had created a whatsapp group chat so that we could keep in contact with each other when we are not in college, or when you have a idea to add in the video when you alone editing. we also plan days to film and also talk about things we needed to do in and out the lesson. 

filming in a different location : HOXTON

over the weekend we decided to take the opportunity to shoot at a new location, so our music video wouldn't be boring and repetitive.sephora got a shot of the scene of where I had been shooting as I had the camera so she wanted to get different establishing shots, to change between scenes.

Learning how to use lighting

 A member of the media  staff had showed us how to use the lights in the Tv studio so that we could shoot our music video with the best lighting and what we felt suited us. this helped on creating a motif for the video because most of the shoots were dimly lit. therefore, having a brighter light will create contrast.

Meeting

Most recent lip sync

filming from different angles

we wanted to have a variety of shot types for our lip sync, because it very conventional for video to have variation  of locations. this was effective because when it came to editing the clip because we had recorded the whole song in every take it, inserting the whole clip into the timeline.

Due to the weather the most of clip were highly coloured blue so we had to edit out the colour contrast.

Research and Planning

Reserch from Tyanne1

Change of Plan

We have been advised to use a male to perform the voiceover aspect of our music because, the male is singing the song. However, our plan before was to have girls singing the song and mimic the male artist. But, after considering the demographic of our audience we realised because we have no clear narrative anymore, we need to rethink the concept of the video.

1st Editing

Today, in lesson because my group had to refilm a part of music video, we wanted to start editing the footage that we have, so we can start get a initial order then it will be easier to add additional footage. Also, we add the audio so we can set up a timed sequence.

Fliming

we tired to shoot mostly mediums and closeups for the lip sync aspect of our

music video however, the lighting was effecting the quality that

we could achieve because it was difficult 

to control the colour contrast.

also the black background is not suited to our urban theme

because it very plain and bland.

and does not convey the aflational and colourful

african culture, also it does not convey youth or fun.

However, if we need extra shoots we may use 

this shoot as fillings between scenes

so we can have a variation of locations.

my role was to keep the timing of the sound track so that the lip sync will be escat, so when editing
it would make it easier to match it to the imported track

Sephora and Akira roles were to shoot the performers
and keep the camera in focus
Akira was mostly controlling the lighting
