Music Video: Editing Complete

Today we beat the deadline and totally finished editing our music video. However due to poor internet activity, we are unable to upload the video until after the christmas break. Once we return on Thursday 5th January, the video will be posted onto my blog.

Music Video: Another day of editing

As our deadline beckons we are taking significant strides towards completing our video.
Today our object is to complete the last minute of the song.


After several hours we achieved our goal and we have now just got to put our candidate numbers and other important information at the begging of the video.

Music Video: All layers are on and in time :)

After completing all of our filming, today our objective was to put all the footage on the timeline in Final Cut Express. By doing this we can put all the footage in-time with the music which will help us with the editing process.

It will be easy as we can use what we call 'the mountain tip' trick to easily choose between layers.

By pressing this button,

and clicking this button 

we are able to alter the importance and visibility of the image. By dragging the black line to the bottom, it removes the image. This also allows us to use interesting fades between sequences.

Music Video: Changes From Original Plain

While shooting our video we decided that we will no longer want to film several minor orginal ideas.
One of these was the car scene.
We felt that this idea would be too hard to film and that we would not be able to fit that scene into our video. Instead we thought we would include some more footage from our band scene as it fitted in more with the genre of the music.

No boys Vs Girls

In our story board, at the end of the video the boys were going to confront the girls, and then they were going to have a mass pillow fight. However, we thought it would be funnier if one of the boys would pretend to be one of the girls. At the end of the video the girls would become aware that a boy was in there mist.

Music Video: Filming the Band Scene

Today we finally managed to secure a time slot in the drama department to film our band scene. We have decided to include a band scene in our music video as it is a reference to the bands actually music talent. It is not widely known that two members of the group can actually play an instrument.

This has concluded our filming and we will now crack on with the editing process
