Studio Filming

In Thursdays lesson we filmed in the studio again as our previous green screen filming didn't work so this time we filmed with our background already there instead of the green screen, and we also filmed with a black background instead of green screen, as when we filmed it with green screen previously and tried to use the black background we had difficulties as the green reflected in the guitar and it was impossible to edit out on final cut, now that we've filmed with a black background it is a lot better and we will be able to successfully edit it. Overall this filming was very successful.

Rough Cut

Fire Filming

Last night we filmed the fire scene with different shots of the main character behind the fire, as well as another character whispering into the main characters ear, we filmed close ups as well as medium shots, and we also filmed some of the lyrics of the song being burned in the fire, which we thought was successful.

Shooting Problems

In today's lesson we edited some of our music video and discovered that our green screen filming was more unsuccessful than we thought, as when we edited we found that we couldn't edit out some of the green in the first shot that was around the main character, and also in the parts where the main character is playing guitar the green reflects in the guitar as it moves around so we cant edit it out, so we will now have to film the green screen shots again in a different way.

keeping up the date

At the moment our group has finished drawing the storyboard and are in the process of editing it. Whilst this has been going on we have also taken some footage so every member of our group could be busy and to reach the deadline date for our music video.
