Finished Music Video

                                    

Here is the finished music video.

Note: The scenes are not exactly what was shown in the Storyboard Animatic. this is due to the changes that the other group member and myself made throughout the filming process in order for the outcome of the music video to be the standard we wanted it to be.

Research: More Editing Techniques...

The other group member and I also came up with an idea  where we  wanted to mirror/ vertically flip an image vertically therefore we reaserched a video on Youtube and found this video which is a tutorial on how to flip images in Adoboe Premiere Pro CS5.

                          

Another editing technique used which the other group member and I decided was to have the split screen effect. we researched a tutorail via Youtube ad found this video to help us achcieve our idea and incorporate it onto a scene in our music video.

           

Updated Production Schedule

As we had encountered some problems during the process of our filimg sessions, that were initially planned the other group member and I had to update the production schedule to show all the extra filming sessions we completed in order for our music video to be successful and close to our ideas.

Please also note:  
The reason why the production schedule has been updated quite late is due to problems with the actors not being able to attend the filming sessions, planned due to thier personal issues.

The extra filming sessions are clearly shown with the message;

"BELOW ARE THE ADDITONAL FILMING SESSIONS DUE TO CHANGES"

Research: Change in storyline idea for music video - Perfect by P!nk and One and Only by Adele

Video: P!nk, "F**kin' Perfect"

As the other group member and I have both decided to base our music video on the song ‘One and Only’ By Adele, although we had to change our initial storyline idea due to complications that occurred throughout the filming process. This is beecause our main actress was unable to make any more filming sessions and we still had not finished fimling all the scenes which meant we immidiately had a problem and had to solve the problem as soon as possible to give us enough time to do our editing and to complete the music video in time. This led us to having to change our storyline and use the available footage we had previously filmed and to incorporate the footage into a music video but also considering an interesting and eye catching storyline and also that relates to our target audience and their responses based on our surveys.

Therefore, the other group member and I came up with the idea of having an actress (whom we know would be regularly available) to act as the artist (Adele), singing to the lyrics and playing the piano. And with the remaining footage that has already been filmed to be used as a reconstruction of the lyrics to One and Only.

Hence, we were inspired by this idea due to watching the music video by P!nk – F**kin’ Perfect. The storyline of the music video are linked to lyrics of the song as the diaglogue refelects the lyrics of the song, so we have decided to follow a similar storyline to the music video by P!nk.

Production Schedule

Here are the dates of what the other memeber of my group and I have planned to complete during the production of our music video. The location, equipment and the people required are also included. this will enable us to be more organised, so that we are up-to-date with the production of our music video and so everything goes to plan.
We had to decide the best days for both ourselves (film crew) aswell as the actors due to other issues such as other school subjects or work and any other issue that may prevent the production if this producion schedule was not created.

Practice Music Video

Here I have filmed a practice music video.This enabled me to practice before making my actual coursework music video. Although i did not add many transitions or filters or any extra editing techniques, as this piece is just a practice.
 I also did not use Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 to edit, but instead I used Windows Movie Maker as I had filmed this piece in my own spare time with no intentions of relating it to my actual coursework ideas and also this practice does not involve the other member of my group,
but I felt it would be relevant to include this for an example practice piece.(Please enlarge the video player window for a better view)

Research: Green Screen Practice

The other member of my group and I have decided to use the green screen effect in our music video. Although we did not know how to use the green screen effect in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, we researched a tutorial online which is shwon above. This helped us to learn about the green screen effect in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and were were able to be clearly guided through the process of creating the green screen effect.

Here is an image of the set-up of our green screen.

Due to the creases from transportation, we had to iron the green screen as the creases may affect our green screen effect.

We then decided to do a practice scene with the green screen before we did our final piece so we could familiarise ourselves with the software and understand how to create the effect without any difficulties.

This image below was taken after we ironed the green screen, to enable a better effect.

Below is a print screen of our footage in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5

While learning how to use the green screen effect on Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, we came across a few problems such as areas on the actress' body that appeared opaque revealling the back ground image onto her clothing. But with the help of the tutorial we were able to fix this and this resulted in a very good piece of practice footage!

Below is the final green screen practice footage.

Storyboard Animatic

                   

Here is the Storyboard Animatic. 

This is where the other group member and I drew out some rough sketches of each scenes for our music video idea.
 (Please note that these are only rough ideas so we may or may not follow this all the way through for our final music video)

Locations Permission (Update)

The other group member and I verbally asked the park owners of Forty Hall Park for permission to use the park for a couple hours to film for our Media Studies Coursework. Thankfully they had granted us the permission, so we have successfully been able to film the scenes in the park for our music video!

Location Report

The other group member and I decided on number of places we could possible film some scenes for our music video, base don the type of music video we are doing. We want to make sure we portray the right location for the mood and also reflect the lyrics of the song.
Listed below are the locations we aim to use for our music video.


- Forty Hall Park (Written/ Verbal Permission from council/ park owners needed)
- St Anne's Catholic High School For Girls Hall, various corridors and Drama Room (Permission already granted)
- Family Member's House (Eloise's Sisters House)


Although we also had to bare in mind all complications that may occur while filming in these locations listed. For example, not having permission from the council or park owners therefore not being able to use the location. Also using corridors in the school because people may be walking around and may distract actors or walk into shot and at Eloise's sisters house we have to make sure that her sister grants permission for actors and myself to film in her house.
