Regulations and Constraints

production log week 9

This week my group and I have been editing our music video and it is looking very good we have now finished our music video and we have put it on youtube.   We really wanted to add some special effects to our music video to make it look eye catching when the audiences watch our music video. In the intro we made black and white. We are all happy with the music video even though it took us long to finish it we are happy that it is now done. Through out the week we was finishing up the last pieces to the puzzle on our music video we was making sure there was no gaps throughout the whole of it and we made sure the lip synching was all on point. On Wednesday we finally finished our music video. On Thursday due to do to the year 11 having a media trip to the BBC no lesson took place. On Friday we started to learn about the next unit which is called unit 1 codes of practice and regulation and we was learning about regulation and constraints we was given a guardian article, we had to pick out certain things that the regulators take control. The regulators set the rules and the rules that the music video can't break are bad language, sexuality, humans being treated like animals and animal cruelty.

production log week 8

This week my group and I have been editing our music video and it is looking very good but we had to re film some bit because some of the scenes were not that interesting to watch so there for we had make it more exciting to watch when is cutting to the beat. Yesterday we filmed inside the school cage in upper school playground to show an urban look. We did chose to re film so we can get a better grade when the marker assesses it. On Thursday we said behind for about another 30 minutes after lesson had ended to continue editing and it went well even though we got stuck at some points we still managed to do it. We also imported the new footage on Thursday from the pieces of the music video in the cage. We added some footage of Rashaan playing basketball with his friends. At the moment even though it's taking a while were not falling behind with the coursework we are still on track.

The problems we came across are we had to re film because we didn't know we were going to have to re film again. A part from that no other problems occurred this week.

We solved this problem by re filming it wasn't so bad in the end because when we was putting the filming onto final cut express it looked good because it made the music video look more eye catching which is good because the song is quite fast paced so it's good because almost every cut is different. Even though it's very long in a sense I am still happy when i am editing because I really like the way it's all starting to slowly come together. Next week we should be wrapping up the music video and ready to export a well presented and thought out music video.  We really want to add some special effects to our music video to make it look eye catching when the audience watch our music video.

production log week 7

This week my group and I have been editing it is going well so far but we have to re film in Ilford and   school gym What I contributed this is helping my group with the editing what I have been doing this week fits in my job role because I meant to be the editor also it fits with production schedule and I am keep up ton schedule. The only problem was that the lip-syncing did match the lyrics so that is why we need re film. We overcame this by carrying on with what we have got so far tomorrow we will re film in the gym and Ilford. We need to do it by Thursday because we need have rough edit, which needs to be at least one minute and fifty seconds long because our teacher wants to see what we have so far. We need to remember to cut to the beat when we are editing each scene. If we keep focus and not get distracted. I like how our music video is looking so far.  Next week we will be carrying on with the editing. On Wednesday my group and I went to sevenkings park and ilford after school to re film it went well. We are working hard to get everything edited by next week Friday which is the dead line. We have been staying behind after school to edit so we can get it done on time. We are all helping to edit I think the editing is harder than filming because when we are editing we need to always remember to cut to the beat and not leave any gaps.

             

production log week 6

This week I helped with film and  my group and I have  now finished filming and we are going to be editing for the rest of the week. We will all take turns to edit the music video we use the mac edit our video the software we are going to is final cut express.  I don't think they were any problems this week. i think this week is going well. The problems that I countered this week is the fact that we didn't stick to the script as much as we should of. So now were editing some of the scenes aren't in the right place so there's more than a chance that we had to re film some of he scenes. To make sure that there in the right places for the music video. With that being said it might slightly dragged us back a little but I strive for perfection so I will be more than comfortable to go back a quickly re shoot scenes.

I will solve this problem by re shooting the scenes that need re film and then import the new scenes onto final cut express and I will also make sure the new scenes are cutting to the beat. I will also make sure that all the scenes that are being filmed are filmed over the weekend so I don't fall too far behind.
My plans for the next week will be to re film the scenes that need to be filmed and continue to edit the music video.

week 5 production log

This week me and my group have been filming and I have been filming. My group have been filming in various locations such as Ilford, the seven kings skate park and Chadwell heath park and the music studio we close to finishing the music video. We just need to film film in Ilford again because I missed one scene and the Chadwell heath park again because we need to redo another shot but apart from that we've covered all the scene that needed to be taken. So far it's been going well because the things we've got done I'm feeling quite confident that this music video will go well when it gets edited. With that being said I do have doubts because later into the filming that I realised that I was supposed to play the song while saying the lyrics so I had to go and re film some of the locations. At the moment I am currently on track with my work. This week the problems that I had to solve where some of the places I thought that were public were actually private. Such as the car park, the behind of Keith Moore theatre so i had to ask if we can film there. Next week we will be editing the footage that we have filmed hopefully it goes well. we hopefully finish filming before we go back to school.
