first draft of music video

Organising the second filming times

These are the messages from the second conversation where we are planning to re-film

New weather forecast for filming

So far this is the forecast for the Monday, hopefully this estimate will stay as it is.

New filming times

After having problems with arranging filming times, I have spoken to Eddie and we have arranged to film on the Monday and the Wednesday. this time round i will try not make any mistakes, this is because it can mess up my video, also I will have little time to be editing on the Wednesday at my time slot, 2pm-4pm

My new filming times are as followed;
Monday 15th -- All day
Wednesday 17th -- Half day
After my filming on Wednesday i will be then in Wyke College editing together my video

Extra Tech

As well as my digital technology I am also taking out a tracker with me to my locations. This will help me keep a smooth run when I am doing a pan of the area

Digital technology I have used

The digital technology that I am using for my A2 Media coursework is as followed; Phone, Blogger, 

Prezi, You Tube, Video Camera and an iPod.

Phone – I have used my phone to communicate with Eddie and sort out locations, also to get shots of me filming eddie

Blogger - I have used Blogger to record all of my progress, research and planning.

Prezi - I have used Prezi in order to present elements of my planning and research.

You Tube – I have You Tube for uploading videos which are too big for the blogger limit, also for the use of feedback form random viewers.

Video Camera – the camera I will be using is a Sony HVR-HD 1000E, it is a big video camcorder. I will be using it to film my music video

iPod – I am using my iPod for the music of my music video to play when we are filming

Final Cut Pro - I used Final Cut Pro in order to edit my animatic together. I have never used Final Cut Pro before therefore it was a struggle to use because it was the first time I had used the program. Luckily I had Ben the media technician on hand to help me.

Complications with filming;

I am having to re film my work as the quality of my original footage isn't very good, with this I had to re-organise my shoots. This became a problem for me as my artist, Eddie, is going to be busy the next two weekends in a row. I now have to film my work outside of college and after college, this will cause another problem for me because the light goes early and now that we are in December the weather can be an issue. Although this will cause an issue, we are trying to resolve it by organising a meet up out of college before next week

Timing of filming problems

After reviewing my first shots of filming I realised that I would need to re-shoot my video that I had already done. This is because the quality of the video is very poor. My resolution for this is that I got straight on the my messages and got in touch with Eddie. I contacted Eddie and told the situation in hand. with this we are now trying to resolved the problem

My first filming shots of my music video

After I filmed my first shots, I watched them over and I realised that the quality of the videos were poor. After realising this I set out again to re-film my music video again. What I was doing wrong in my videos is that my video framing was poor, I had a lot of empty space around my artist and the angles I shot at were no good. Some of my shots worked but also the format of the video recorder was a pain to convert on to the appropriate format as it wouldn't go straight on to the PC. Also when I turned my recorder vertical the framing of the video was again poor in the sense that if I rotated it back then there would be black panels on the sides of the screen and this would make the video look unprofessional.
