ACCOUNT OF EDITING PART 1








After three long days of filing in the different locations, the next step in completing our music video was to edit the footage gathered on the camera. During our shoot days we film over 300 individual clips, some useful and some not but the most challenging thing was going through each clip and working out which ones to keep and discard which took and awful amount of time, this however made sure we had the best footage available  to put into video and make it the best we could, we did however keep some clips that were similar and at the highest quality possible to compare how they fitted in with the rest of the clips either side of it. Finally we did take extra shots for our film but those parts never the cut as we realised the film would become long winded and slightly boring for the viewer. However i did include some timelapses  which i shot on my Mobile device to add some effect to our project.


The first task we carried out was putting together our introduction with the song playing building up to where the lyrics commence. This involves many small and snappy shots which took a bit of time to get right. The first shot However was a bit of a hassle as it required a lot of movement and shaping due to the fact it was 3 shots in one. I used many effects Premiere pro hopping to get the best outcome.

As a group we also came to a conclusion that it was better that we made the whole video black and white which meant researching and understanding how to adjust our clips normal to black and white.

The next stage was tackling the Green-screen which was behind us in the shots filmed in the studio in school. We tried tested many background including white canvas and real life studios however we not come to a final conclusion as what will be used but this we be decided very soon. We did however put the shots that need the green screen in to place so it leaves us with little to do when it comes to final checks and run throughs.

The next process in putting our music video together was editing the time lapses. Due to me filming it a smartphone i had to editing it in a way which would make it compatible with the rest of the video which took quite a long time in finding the right position and balance.

The final part that i have completed so far is adding in some shots from the theatre and making sure that that speech lines up perfectly with the actual song so it is a timeless blend of mouthing the words and the lyrics.

ORGANIC Coldplay- Viva la Vida In this music video, it demonstrates  a true representation of organic music. it shows the band itself playing all different types of musical instruments symbolises that they have produced the music video to show there natural talent and not because of there visual image. furthermore it also shows sufficient evidence that they have written there own song and they have let there natural talent shine through the lyrics and harmony.

OUR BAND WEBSITE

Image
http://joshspivack1.wixsite.com/mysite When looking at our website for our band we wanted to represent them as an organic and real band. This is why we have gone for the black and white style to give them that authentic image. We have gone for this type of theme throughout all our products including the music video and the digipak. We wanted the star image to come across on the website showing they are a simple band who just want to produce good music for their fans. As well as not having abstract colours to draw in fans as we focused on the music side of our band to increase our fanbase.  Our front page is different to many other bands website similar to ours. We wanted a big bold photo of our band to draw the attention of the audience to the band so they become more recognisable and well known. This is because we want to sell their image as a real and authentic band so we had a black ad white photo of the band in their smart clothes. This draws all the attention to the band in wh

SHOOT DAY

On the first Morning of shooting, were we very lucky to have nice bright blue sky weather, however due to the strong sunlight the filming was effecting due to the number of shadows created by people and camera equipment but on a whole I think we managed it well. Furthermore, the ability to use a drone to film some birds eye shots was another bonus as it added another dimension towards our movie and the viewers perspective. Unexpectedly when filming  we did however come across a problem which was the ride of the vehicle uses in the filming. Due to hard suspension some film was jigging about and quite bumpy which did effect our progress but does mean we have to work extra harder to make the film look professional and get the best features in to add to the 'horror' themed effect. Another problem that occurred on the morning of the filming was the number of vehicles that passed us in our location. This meant filming specific parts look longer then expected and more edite
