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;

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.
