Production Log 9

This week me and my group were coming to the end of finishing our music video. Through out the week we was finishing up the last pieces to the puzzle on our music video we was making sure there was no gaps throughout the whole of it and we made sure the lip synching was all on point. On Wednesday we finally finished our music video. On Thursday due to do to year 11 have a media trip to the BBC no lesson took place. On Friday we started to learn about the next unit which is called unit 1 codes of practise and regulation and we was learning about regulation and constraints we was given a guardian article, we had to pick out certain things that the regulators take control. The regulators set the rules and the rules that the music video can't break are bad language, sexuality, humans being treated like animals and animal cruelty. So the things that the viewer might find uncomfortable.

So far I'm up to date with all the media course work.

This week I didn't have any problems with the media coursework as we didn't have to do much this week. From Monday to Wednesday we was editing and on Friday we started unit 1 and within those 4 days I didn't have any problems.

We didn't have any problems to fix because there was no problems in the first place.

Next week we will continue doing the evaluation on our music video and for the next few weeks that is what I'll be doing.

Throughout the week me and my group continued to edit it was a very long process but were close to finishing the editing for the music video. This week me and my group had to re film a few other scenes to make the music video look more exciting when it cuts to the beat. So we can get a better grade when it gets assessed by the marker. On Thursday we said behind for about another 30 minutes after lesson had ended to continue editing and it went well even though we got stuck we still managed to do it. We also imported new footage on Thursday from the pieces of the music video in the cage which was a good location to choose because we were going for a urban look. 

At the moment even though it's taking a while were not falling behind with the coursework we still on track.

The problems we came across re filming because we didn't know we was going to have to re film again. A part from that no other problems occurred this week.

We solved this problem by re filming it wasn't so bad in the end because when we was putting the filming onto final cut express it looked good because it made the music video look more eye catching which is good because the song is quite fast paced so it's good because almost every cut is different. Even though it's long in a sense I'm kind of enjoying the editing because I like the way it's slowly coming together. 

Next week we should be wrapping up the music video and ready to export a well presented and thought out music video. 

Post production week 7

This week me and my group continued editing for our music video. We have gotten quite far last week we was on the first chores now were on the the third verse were taking in slow and steady to make sure every cut is accurate because I want to make sure that the music video is excellent. We also had to re film some scene because we felt that the scene could look better. The places we re filmed were Ilford at the car park roof and then another scene on me rapping to the camera on the way to blueprint youth, the other place was at the Seven Kings skate park and the reason why we chose to re film those places was because it looked okay but we knew we could do better. We also make sure that the cutting to the beat process was as accurate as possible which we've been doing well so far.

The minor problem I faced was filming in school because I didn't properly plan what I filming. I knew I was re filming some scenes in the gym and some other scenes in the music studio. Then Leo suggested we filmed in the sixth form block on the stairs which I found a surprise because obviously we didn't plan it. So in future we will organise ourselves and bit more but apart from that there was no other problems that I faced.

I over came this minor problem by filming in the places that we were supposed to film in.

Next week we will continue editing and hopefully finish soon.

Post Production log week 6

This week me and my group had a few shots to finish off so on Monday. We had to go back to Ilford to go and film a few more shots such as the car park intro and the 4th verse. Also the exchange intro part as well then we had to go into the music studio and film the third verse . We started importing the music video scenes on Wednesday. We have started to put the scenes in chronological order and we are making sure that it's cutting to the beat be cutting the scene on a certain point of the song so it looks structured.

The week has gone well because were not falling behind with the work. So I'm feeling confident with my group that this music will go well.

The problems that I countered this week is the fact that we didn't stick to the script as much as we should of. So now were editing some of the scenes aren't in the right place so there's more than a chance that we had to re film some of he scenes. To make sure that there in the right places for the music video. With that being said it might slightly dragged us back a little but I strive for perfection so I will be more than comfortable to go back a quickly re shoot scenes.

I will solve this problem by re shooting the scenes that need re film and then import the new scenes onto final cut express and I will also make sure the new scenes are cutting to the beat. I will also make sure that all the scenes that are being filmed are filmed over the weekend so I don't fall too far behind.

My plans for the next week will be to re film the scenes that need to be filmed and continue to edit the music video.
