Filming - Changes.

I have looked over my video and edited certain aspects of my music video to make it more effective and make this look less like a film and more like a music video.

The aspects I have changed are that I have used more cuts to cut from scene to scene.

I will post my video sometime during the week.

Filming Schedule - 26th November - 2nd December 2012.

Monday:

- Organise weeks schedule and prepare for filming.


Tuesday:

- Double Media lesson, will need to film shots of props and actors


Wednesday:

- Media lesson, will be used to look at clips from the previous day and edit said footage.


Thursday:

- Will try to film, but with no media lessons this could be problematic.


Friday:

- Another double media lesson will be used for filming.


Saturday:

- Due to mock exam week being the week commencing 3rd December I will be preparing for my exams.


Sunday:

- Try to find a day to try filming for the week of the 3rd December. 

Problems...

I have had numerous problems when doing my A2 Media Coursework...

However, more have started to crop up in the last few weeks these are:

- My actor is not always avaliable for filming as he has a part time job and so do I.

- Mock exam week is important as it will give me an idea of what my January and Summer exams will be like and will need a lot of attention to ensure I am successful.

- January exams:  I have five exams in January and over the Christmas period I will be revising to ensure I have the best possible grade I can achieve.  Due to this filming may be suspended for a period of time.

Filming Schedule - 19th November - 25th November 2012.

Monday:

- Editing parts of music video - the introduction.


Tuesday:

- Double media lesson will thus be the time to film more parts of my music video.  I will need certain props for this filming session.


Wednesday:

- Filming and editing will be suspended due to a short trip to Rome lasting three days.


Thursday:

- Same as above.


Friday:

- Same as above.


Saturday:

- Other commitment of travelling to Crewe for an open day.


Sunday:

- Prepare for Monday and another day of filming.

Organisation.

I have decided to become more organised in my media work I will be creating a filming schedule for every week.

This schedule will show:

- When I will be filming
- When I will be editing my music video
- When I have other commitments

Camera Angles

I have been filming these past few days and whilst filming I have been considering what angles and shots to use.  During these considerations I have created a presentation of the main angles and shots I will consider using.
This is shown below:

Cuts of Introduction of Music Video

I have constructed after taking shots of landscape/sky a introduction to my music video.  I believe with the fade effects I have used that this is looking more effective than my previous post of cuts.

Problems With Filming.

I have had a number of problems filming my music video:

- During the holidays I had a open day at a university which required me to leave for a few days.
- I have tried to make contact with my actor and have received no reply from said actor.


However I have been able to film the beginning shots of my music video.  Landscape/sky etc.
