Update - Scream studios filming

Today we returned to scream studios to film some more performance shots. We shot in a different studio with different clothes on so that there were two distinct settings. This helped the separate the two studios and helped give the music video something different as the audience wouldn't be looking at the same place over and over again. We shot a multitude of shots which were mostly close ups but were also long shots and were from different angles.

Update - First narrative shots

Today we added the stuff we shot of Simon into the video. We then decided to make the effects slightly darker and to desaturate the colour more to give it a better effect.

Update - First band shots

Today we made some effects on the band footage we shot. We tried many different types of effects such as colour correction but we also added a vignette effect to make it more distinguishable from the narrative.

Update - Feedback on effects

Today we gained some feedback on our use of effects. We also started putting in the band stuff. This day was mostly made up of deciding what order the band videos would go in. For example, Singer, Drummer, Singer, Bassist, Guitarist, Singer.

Update - Establishing shot effects

Today we tried out some effects on the establishing shots that we took. This included colour correction and speed adjustments. We then looked at these shots with these effects enabled and decided what we were going to use for the majority of our music video. We decided to go with a grayed out look that had blacks slightly heightened and the colour saturated.

Update - Filming in music studio

Today we did filming for the performance part of the video. We filmed for 3 hours we were given and got quite a lot done, although we may need to go back there to film more.

Update - familiarization with final cut pro

Today, my group and I tested various different effects which were contained on the Mac computers at my school. These ranged from various light effects to controling the RGB density. We tried to gain a dirty looking effect and while we gained some success we did not get the desired effect. We will try again at another time but I think it is imperative that we do not lose anymore lesson time over it.
