Upload Footage

To upload footage you need to insert the sd card in to the back of the  apple mac and import the footage. Once the footage is on the mac you will then need to put in to the software in which we are using(adobe premiere) and begin to edit the clips in. Then we save our project in the local student share so we can access it on our designated computer, to eject the sd card properly you must click on the icon and click eject.

Rough Edit Analysis

We have started creating our rough edit, this is rough as we have not managed to film everything yet and still need to film a few shots before we finally have all of our footage.

So far our rough edit is looking good, it is looking both creative and eye-catching. The rough edit is a good time for us to mess around with our footage and to try new things to see what does and what doesn't look good.

I feel that editing as a pair has been very beneficial for both me and my partner, the reasons being are that we both have creative ideas, therefore, we can share those ideas with each other and put our ideas together to create even better ones. by putting our ideas together and sharing them we can create a really creative and exciting piece.

Another reason being that, we can both look at things differently, and we can both spot mistakes or areas of improvement which maybe the other wouldn't see if they were to be working by themselves.

When we started editing, we realised that we didn't have many different shot types, therefore, we had to go and start filming some more footage where we used different shot types and camera angles.

using planning documents

When filming we tried to follow our planning documents as much as possible, we did this because we thought that we planned it very well and we thought that if we followed it we followed the plan then not much will go wrong.

First of all we kept the same filming idea as we planned, we did this as we thought that it was a very good, creative and entertaining idea.

Before we started shooting, we created a storyboard, of how our music video will look throughout the whole song. we made sure that the shots we filmed we had in our storyboards and that we used the same shot type as well.

Filming Experience Homework

What did you film? 

    when filming I filmed multiply shots types, from extreme close ups to mid-shots. we used a
various amount of setting such as Anthony's bedroom and bathroom and in the school.

When did you film?

       we filmed about 3 weeks ago before half term on October the 14th and 16th

WWW? I think our filming went really well we got a lot done in a short period of time with good quality. in addition we didn't need much help from the teachers as we were independent.

EBI? I think we could of improved on making sure the camera was really steady, as in some shots the camera was slightly wobbly. Therefore, to improve our filming skills I think more practice would help

Did you need to reshoot anything? If you have already reshot it, what made it better than before? We had some issues with shooting our cut away's as we were laughing through some of the filming so we had to reshot it to make sure none of us were laughing and that we were doing it properly.

 

Did you stick to your storyboards? yes we stuck with our story boards as it was easier because we knew what we wanted to shoot, when we wanted to shoot it and how we were going to shoot it.

Were you well prepared enough? Yes we knew when we wanted to do things and how we were going to do them.

What have you learned about filming from this experience? I have learned that I need to know where to put the camera in order to get the best lighting and how to use the lighting to my advantage to get a better shot
