Time Management and Organisation
I have entered the deadline date into my school planner to ensure we meet the deadlines and successfully use our time management to make sure we finish our advert poster by Thursday 13th February. As we have almost finished the advert and we only have final touches to add onto the poster including social networking icons we are going to go to the media studies classroom in the morning to finish this.
Editing Process – Rough Cut
When we had filmed all of our footage for our rough cut we began our editing process. As we had found out when we edited our animatic, we knew the editing stage would take a long time to complete. Therefore we left ourselves plenty of time to complete this stage to ensure we edited as well as we could for our rough cut. As we had picked a fast song with significantly up-tempo beats, the editing to the chorus we knew would be very fast and difficult. Additionally, as our song ‘Grammy’ has a large rap element to the song, the lyrics are therefore sung very quickly and this made lip-synching and editing the lyrics to the visuals would be even harder.
We decided to edit on the iMovie software as we were all comfortable and confident with this software and furthermore it still included some of the effects we were intending to use. Also, this would make our editing process more proficient as we already knew how to successfully edit on this software.
We found this period extremely valuable and we believe quite successful, however, we are aware we will need ti improve certain elements and aspects of the music video to improve the editing.
Below are some images of us during our editing process.
Shooting Schedule – Wednesday 20th November 2013
To fully maximise our filming time we have completed a shooting schedule in regards to our shooting time tomorrow, on Wednesday 20th September 2013. This shooting time will only consist of filming Zara in the studio location – we plan to capture all of the footage needed in this location within this session. We have learnt a lot from filming in this same location last week, we will know how to set up all of the equipment correctly and also what angles will look best. Therefore, we will be starting our filming session more prepared and organised.
Plans for half term
This plan for MBD over half term will ensure we use the week effectively in terms of Luna and Grammy. Therefore we have chosen three vital elements we need to work on before we start to film our music video. These consist of:
1) Locations
2) Actors
3) And plan our filming and editing time over the next couple of months
We hope this keeps us on task and make sure we reach all deadlines and leave plenty of time to film and edit.
