Filming Progress and Review

Having spent the past 2 days using my time to review all of the footage that I have managed to capture throughout the past 2 filming sessions I feel that I have now got all of the suitable footage and planned shots that will be needed to complete the music video and the editing process that I plan to undertake over the next week.

I now plan to move on to use Adobe Premier Pro CS6 to edit all of my footage, I will be using a number of YouTube tutorials in order to teach myself how to use this new software as the training day that I went through was quite some time ago, so I feel I will be able to get the best quality editing if I refresh my memory on some of the new skills that I was taught back during the training day.

I have managed to make a quick mock up of the shots that I had after the first time filming and have just quickly uploaded it to YouTube. This version has some blackspots due to lack of footage and also some of the lip-syncs were out due to my inexperience in editing the type of material. This was done at home using Sony Vegas editing software, this is shown in the Sony Vegas tag that can be seen during the video, but this won't be a problem on my final edit as it will be completed using the iMac's that my school has to offer.

Now that I have reached this stage I feel that the only direction that this production can take is to move onto the editing phase, with this I hope to implement some of the earlier techniques that I researched and planned for in terms of the widesceen editing and also I hope to implement some adjustments to the brightness, contrast and the saturation of some of the shots to give it a brighter more vibrant feel.
