Filming & Editing

Filming

When it came to filming, we were actually very well organized, and we managed to do all the filming that we had aimed to do within approximately an hour. Meaning that we were staying on target and when we came back to school we did the editing that we could do so far, and we also managed to get our poster and digipack within one lesson, meaning that we were well ahead of schedule. We had managed to finish all of our extra products, and we just needed to do a little more filming which included the lip syncing. When it came to doing the lip syncing we found it very difficult to match it up with the song, but we managed to do it, not perfectly but satisfactory. Overall we were very pleased with the overall filming.

Editing

However when it came to editing we were 9 seconds short of film, but we managed to get it to fill up a whole minute, by slowing down many shots, which actually makes it look more effective because of the tempo of the song. We also had to put all of the shots into black and white, to fit in with our theme.
After doing the editing I felt much more confident when using the Mac and trying new things. I learnt many new skills such as changing the saturation of shots, slowing down/speeding up shots to the prefered speed, putting text onto shots and much more. This experience has made me feel more confident about doing the real production work as I feel that even though we didn't get the choice of song we wanted, we still managed to make it work.
