Use of planning document.

Whilst filming we used our planning documents to direct George and ensure we were capturing everything we need. I have some footage/ sound of use doing so which i will shortly upload to my blog.

Exporting and effects

I have now finished editing my music video and am exporting it using quick time conversion, i will them be uploading it to youtube then taking the embed code and posting it on my blog. After receiving the feedback from Ahem records i have added a variety of effects into the video these include things such as: the earthquake effect, a negative colouring effect and colour changing effect. I feel these effects have really improved the video making it more enjoyable and engaging to watch.

Casting decisions

The cast for the video We Ain't Never done will include a selection of people from The Heart & Soul fan base, who are more then willing to volunteer to participate with the creation of the music video.

The cast for Illusion we decided to use George Haywood as Big Tempah.

Props costume and make-up for ' We Ain't Never Done'

Props- the props I will require for this music video will be: glasses, some bottle of alcohol, a few items of clothing, a hair brush, placards, a car, a trampoline, an acoustic guitar and a suit case. These will not be included within my budget as i already have these props and can produce them on request.

Make-up & costume- the only costume i will require is two t-shirts with the words 'SO' printed on them apart from this the rest of the cast will be wearing clothing similar to the style of clothing worn by The Heart & Soul.

Uploading

I have now uploaded my video after finishing all of my editing, which i feel went well i didn't encounter any major problems during this process and am happy with my final version of the video. I have included things such as fast cutting and a variety of effects to make my video look more professional and interesting for viewers to watch.

Rushes

We filmed in several locations these included my house so we could get shots of him on top of a roof as the artist singing these shot showed him being dominate as it was representing him on top of the world. We also filmed at George H's house to get shots of the story line- him packing moving on to better things. We also shots footage of George in his garage for cut away shots to show him practicing and wanting to move on and up in the world. We also filmed at Gatwick airport to get shots showing George leaving and moving up, showing that he has finally made it. We also filmed on some roads local to our school just to get shots of him lip syncing. No problems arose whilst we were filming in each different location so we were able to get our filming completed very easily. During filming George P and myself had to direct George H using the shooting schedule to ensure we had the correct shots we needed. We also used a fig rig when filming which George P was in charge of to ensure there weren't any shaky shots by mistake- although there is a few shaky shots one of which i have used within my final edit to make it look like a insight of what the artist is like of set messing around with his mates and the camera.

Illusion- rough cut

This is a rough cut off my music video which I struggled with slightly as I had to ensure all of my clips were lip synced perfectly, this took me a while but once I had done this I was able to chop away at bits that I didn't want and begin to create my video. I had some trouble with cutting out sections of footage I didn't want as once I deleted it, it would then shift the rest of my footage along which would push all of my footage out of lip sync. I over came this by locking sections of my footage that I had cut before taking a chunk out. I also had some trouble with parts of the footage in which George wasn't lip syncing, once I started adding our cut away clips I managed to solve the problem by adding in cut away clips were George wasn't lip syncing. At this stage of my work I haven't included many effects in my video as I'm trying to piece it all together once I have created my music video I will then add more effects on top.

Client feedback- Ahem records

This is my feedback form Ahem Records and I have broken it down into 'What Went Well' (WWW) and 'Even Better If' (EBI) :

WWW:
- nice variety of footage, suits the genre
- nice low angles of Big Tempah/ close ups when he looks directly into the camera
- editing is engaging

EBI:
- lip syncing is mostly good but some parts need to be fixed
- the editing could be quicker therefore fully suiting the rhythm of the track
- cut aways should be fully incorporated
- add more effects
