Today we looked at doing our 3rd filming session with intensions to do a large part of filming, and it went to plan in some cases.
As a group we filmed the entire first verse and it went as planned, although straying from the storyboard only to benefit the video itself.
We filmed every thing we needed for the 1st verse and this has eased our time pressure. We have started to edit in the new footage and it is looking very promising, and as a group our motivation is still at an all time high. We want to use different effects to make it look professional and so far we feel we have accomplished this to the best of our abilities.
We want to use a variety of shots when filming and we have done this so far and will consistently do this throughout the filming to hopefully gain extra marks.

Ideas we moved forward with
Now we had a number of songs we felt would be good to use for our music video we began discussing ideas of what we could and what styles/ connotations we may like to consider when using these songs, these are the two songs were seriously considering to use and why:
B.o.b - Magic
This fast paced song would allow us to experiement with a number of cuts and camera shots, really playing with the editing to create a modern styled music video that plays upon fast movement and upbeat feel to the song.
Our particular idea for this song would be to show a day in the life of our character, going to an audition to perform infront of a judge and generally show the gradually rise to fame for this character.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Cant Stop
This song is very fast paced and would require many fast cuts and experiemental angles, the style of music will allow a lot of freedom in terms of what we want to do, and will allow us to play with the idea of tension buliding which is dispalyed within the song beat.We will look to once again follow the audition theme, however experiement with a lot more random connotations as this style of music allows such a thing due to its versitile lyrics.

Film preperation
Before we start filming we wanted to sit down a discuss exactly what were doing, such as where were starting, where were filming and whos going to be our main character. we came to the agreement that with the help of altering mise en scene and a little help from our friend final cut, we could easily use a simple setting such as one of our houses and edit it to give it a far more music video, and in some cases a rags to riches feel.
Evaluation Prep
Once our video is finished we as a group have to evaluate every area of the video and discuss the pros and cons of it. There are many ways of doing this but we as a group believe by making a powerpoint presentation with print screens of our work will give us a good building block to talk about our video.
We will record the presentation and afterwards we will answer pre set questions about our video. Within this discussion we will answer questions on all areas of our video.
Before recording our evaluation we will rehearse our lines so the delivery is correct and everything goes smoothly.
The evaluation side of the coursework allows us to show the audience how we feel the video went and give them more of an insight into the videos background.

Final Filming
For our Music Video to be complete we had to film for one last time to gather shots needed to fill in every missing spaces. We only needed a small amount of shots and went to my house to film the sequences needed. We tried to use a variety of different camera angles and camera movements in our shoot to give the video the professional edge we fill we have already.
As a group we believe filming went smoothly and there was no hiccups, we gathered all the shots needed and the shot we got were of a high quality. These shots will help us finished our Music Video

The Showcase
Within our class we came together and put a showcase together, with fellow students and teacher to watch our music video before they were fully completed. We believed this would help us with the final stages of creating the video as we can see what is going well and what needs to be changed. The showcase would allow peers and teachers to give us feedback on how our video is looking and any comments they had on it. We hoped to gather feedback in a variety different areas, for example editing and lighting etc.
Our teacher gave us each individual student a sheet to fill out with question about our videos. The questions consisted of, what was especially good about the music video. Would you watch it again? If yes why? If no, why not? And did you notice any errors within the video?, the sheet also asked the class to rate certain areas of our video out of 10 , were ten is the highest.
The class were asked to rate the, editing, sound, camerawork and the synchronising of sound.
Once our video was shown to the class we then discussed the pros and cons of it.
The class believed that a positive aspect of our video was indeed the editing , the edits were in time with the beat and there was a variety of different edits to keep the video interesting. Most people rated our editing with a 9 out of ten score, however our we did gather a piece of feedback that the editing was out off sync at one point so we will have to change that.
However a negative side of our video was the narrative and shot repetition, peers told us that they did not understand completely the narrative and also that there was too many off the same shot within the video. This gives us as a group something to discuss and hopefully change in the near future.

Filming Part 4
As you can see from the previous post, we are currently not finished our video, so we once again come together as a group and begin filming more shots for the video.
Before going out filming as a group we discussed the shots that we needed and to help us towards a high quality video. we not only disscussed the shots but also the lighting of the shots and the camera postions. We done this so that when filming all goes smoothly and there are no confusions.
Within this part of filming we gather a range of shots that we believe will have given us a great chance of produced a quality video.
We used a variety of places to film for the video to give the video a range of settings.
