Here is a quick video of what we did in today's lesson.

Editing-14/02/14

This is what we have done so far in the editing of our music video.

We have edited together the footage from our London shoot and also our housewife shoot. We are very happy with how it is going and at some point are hoping to reshoot the opening as there have been a few continuity errors.

In today's lesson we continued our editing. So far we have edited up to the first chorus for our song. Editing is going really well, when an issue arises we all talk it through and decide as a group what to do. One of our main issues at the moment is trying to decide where to put the number scenes. We wanted to use them to do a countdown to the paint party, but we weren't sure if they should all go together or separately between different lip-singing shots. We thought that the clips should go together as it would make more sense that way. The next decision was whether these should go building up to the first chorus or the second. We decided that the first one should be used for more London shots and then build up the numbers for the second. If this doesn't look right when we have added in our paint-party shots that we can always move things around.

21st January: Group Meeting

Today's lesson we started editing the footage for the beginning of our music video. We got along quite far, just doing a rough edit that we can make better later on. We found a few issues with continuity of editing, finding that there were areas that didn't quite match up. For example when I am standing up I pour the tea for myself and the "boyfriend" figure,we wanted to cut from this long shot to a medium over the shoulder shot however, we found we didn't have matching shot for the cut so it didn't flow. Other than that we had a very productive meeting. I think the best bit we did today was that we decided to slow down the part where the cake hits the guys face, and then reverse this and speed it up in time to the song. I think this looks really effective in the video.
