editing diary

on wednesday i uploaded all my footage that i filmed at my house last week.the camera was straight and steady and everything look great within what i filmed however the lighting was a small issue when we was filimg the lighting looked great and didnt seem to be an issue however a few of the scenes were a bit dark but with my previous experience of foundation production i understand that that can be rectified so it should no longer be an issue.nothing thus far that i have filmed needs to be filmed agagin

filming diary

last week Thursday i completed all the shots and scenes where my house was necessary to be filmed we filmed over 30 minutes of footage which included all the shots that i have drafted plus more so i have alot of stuff that i Can play with when it comes to the editing the lighting also looked better than expected as the room that i was filming in was bright yellow including the ceiling i accomplished what i wanted from filming and even more i gave positive and constructive criticisms to my actors which enabled them to work better together.i would just let the camera roll at certain times so i can get natural feel and not have them over or under perform.i realised that my skills as a director as quite good as well as i briefly spoke to my actors about what i wanted and played them the track to them a few times so they got the feel of the song and the lyrics .they even said being featured in the video which included the elements of selecting outfits,getting ready,doing hair and make having drinks and a warm up dancing got them in the mood to go out and have a good time this was a very fun process and very natural

during the half term decided to film some shots for my video i decided to film stuff around my house that i thought would have some relevance such as clothing shoes mirrors accesories and alcohol .on thursday coming i hope to finsh all thr rest of the relvant shots where my house will be needed for location .this filimg will take place in the evening once it gets dark which should be around the time that i am finished at school.my actresses will need to bring a range of clothing and make up

so far for my music video i have selected my two actresses and my location.i still need to to select dancers which i will be doing sometime this week as there are many rehersals taking place for the annual november dance show .i have recuited a chreographer however depending on the amount of filimg that i accomplish i might consider choreographing a few of the dance sequences myself.

my story boards first draft

these are the shots that i am intending to use in my video for now however as i am going more into the story boards and listening to the song aslot more i am thinking of many more shots .
