Change in Idea

24th Nov,2009 (this is a link to the song we were going to use for the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1QE8hZxDC4)

We as a group have decided to change the direction in which we were once going in. In terms of the fact that we have decided to change the music and the original idea we once had because we realised our original idea lacked some sense of energy and creativity because of the song choice. Its arguable that we should have analysed these factors before filming however we didn't notice until we had a few reviews from those who saw what we were doing. Therefore we decided to do a totally different genre of music compared to what we were once doing which was a slow RnB sort of music, so now we are making a music video for a rock song called monster which unlike the other video we were once doing it has an original video from which we can get some inspiration: The song is called "Monster" and was performed by a band named Skillets. amongst all the other music genres we could have chosen we decided to choose rock music because it is more energetic and is easy to create a narrative as there is not much time to really think about complex narratives we are going for somthing much more simple but creative as well.

Editing

2nd Nov,2009
Today we were able to do some editting on the little filming we have done so far. We managed to edit the beginning of the filming and decided to change our mind on some things we had decided to do before because it didn't make the video look very presentable, for instance instead of using the stairs we thought the elevatorwould be better because by doing so we waste less time on filming. but so far it seems like we are a bit behind time so we want to quicken the pace by also filming outside lesson times. Above is an example of the software we used whilst editting which is the "Apple mac final cut pro" programme. it is very vital we use this software because it is able to help you log and capture the shots you need onto the timeline where the actual video would be and also gradually helps you to put together a more professional video.
