okay so improvements

Right so as far as filming goes im not quiet there so ive asked leane for a bit of an extention as the pub we filmed in is closed for refurbishment till next monday which means we cant do those bits till next week, also kirstys unavaliable for this week for medical reasons so we wont be able to film anything outside of the pub either, but im sure a full recovery will be made and filming done by next week with the final cut all done and dusted, we'll just find out and see how it goes.

The crit

Okay so today we had our crit, it was good to see how everyone else got on wth their videos, especially kirsty as i got to see her cu of the video. there was many similarities in our videos but hers held more variety, which was one of the problems with mine, there was many shots that went on for too long and no real break up in the story line so it made little sense, i was appreciative of these coments and had noticed them myself whilst i was editing but wasnt sure how obveous these were. But one thing with this video is i did and still do want it to be very simplistic to go with the theme of the acoustic, i dont want too much happening as i feel so much change in an acooustic video such as this doesnt work too well. also the clapping at the begining im unsure about, i know id like some sort of sound there as before it was just dead sound but i think i need to find some low background noise from somewhere and use that as the voloume of cheering doesnt match the amount of people in the pub. but again taking on board these coments i need to film a few more bits and put them in and i feel like it will all be ready to send off, hopefully the filming should take too long but i will let you know how it goes.

Okay so the edit

Too the mac, editing went well and ive done the first cut of the video and its not too bad,but i felt like i struggled to find some footage for places so i need to adress these isues.but all in all not too bad for a days work and all in time ready for the crit after half term, heres some screen shots of the process using imovie, its a good program for an easy edit, though not the best editing softwear ive used but id still recoment it for its simplicity to those who lke it that way, personally i would have prefered using amuch more nitty gritty program, i like things to get complicatd.







and heres my first cut, i warn its abit out of sync, thats due to youtube, i can assure you that it was in sync before it was up loaded

And he takes off

okay so editings been a bit iffy, first the mac we were working on crashed multiple time and lost some of what we cut up resulting in having to re edit. i then decided that i would like to make my own cut of this song as kirsty and i have our artistic differences and i feel i can knuckle down and get something knocked out ill be proud of. as there isnt enough mac in the school ii decided to use my sisters and edit at home, though this means i wont be able to use final cut pro and have to use the Imovie version on her mac but im sure itll still produce a decent video. ill let you know how it goes.

The third time?

i feel quiet bad as again i couldnt attend this film shoot as i had other engagements, but that did not stop Kirsty, herself and Martyn headed out into the cold snowy weather and shot some more ofthe video including the ending so ood work to those two, next up is the editing, well see how that gooes and ill et you know.

The next one

Off to Dartford it was to have our second atempt at filming our opening scene, scene as this was a different day we had planned to head up to barmondo and shoot it there as we orginally planned, but when we got the it was shut for staff holiday, very irritating. with our current plans in tatters we decided to regroup in Mc ds and decide what was to happen, we were worried about going back to the Old Corthouse because we didnt want to end up with poorly light footage again, so we considered some of the other pubs in the local area such as the Bull and Vic butt these were all far darker the Old Corthouse so we decided just to see what we could get from there instead. before we dont anything i took a couple of test shots for lighting and all was okay so ahead went out filming. it was a successful day of filming and we got the footage we needed so off home it was for me.

The first Shoot

Right so for the first shoot Kirsty went with martyn up to the Old Corthouse in Dartford to shoot the begining of the video, i was unable to attend as i had prior engagements on this day. We were originally going to shoot in Barmondo in dartford but were unable to as there was and event occuring on the same day we wanted to film. i believe Kirsty and martyn had a good time filming and produced some nice shots, unfortunatly the lighting was not of the best quality rendering the footage unusable so we've had to organise another shoot to get this done.
