Technical Difficulties!

So when filming our music video we did encounter a few significant difficulties, this included things such as Batteries running out, and the green-screen light's not having a long enough cable however we managed to sort all of these issues.

Firstly the problem we first encountered was in which the greenscreen light's didnt have a long enough cable to get one light on each side, we searched around for a few extention lead's however we unable to find enough to help it reach to where it needed to be so we had to use both the light's on one side and thanks to our green-screen editing skills (Newly learnt by all of us) we managed to bring it all together and edit it perfectly!

The second 'disaster' we ecnountered was while filming outside of the school the camera lost all battery charge, this may have been because we rushed getting out of the school to film and didnt check the camera's charge, we tackled this issue by whenever we went out filming we turned the camera on to check how much battery would be left and if it would last the time we needed it to, in situations where the camera would be left at someone's house overnight we also used one of the charger's to ensure the battery would not go flat.

Testing the raw footage!

To test our raw footage we use some green-screen work however, this clip isn't in our music video due to there being a more touched up and sharper clip which we used.
In the clip here we show a clip with the green curtain behind and then an edited section however due to us all being farely new to green-screen editing we all pitched in and worked together to learn to edit the green-screen work, which infact is fairly simple.
The main way in which we decided to test this footage would be to fully edit the part of the clip in which we would use for the countdown of 1-2-3-4, this worked fairly well however there were still some specles of green from the editing however the raw footage itself worked perfectly fine!
This is and example of how raw footage of a green screen can be turned into a solid background which works well.

Peer Assensment

Good points

• Lip syncing was good
• Good use of Green Screen
• Range of shot types
• Lots of different effects
• Good use of colours
• Good use of band instruments
• Good characters
• Good narrative

Improvements

• More transitions
• Acting not so good
• Maybe too many effects
• More variety of locations
• Framing needs to be sorted
• More lighting
• The band scene is a bit long

In conclusion, we have some good lip syncing and effects but we need to work on some more transitions and getting the framing so there are no doors to be seen!

Rough Cut

This is our music video in progress, dated 4th November. This isn't our final video, many things were changed  as you will see once the final music video is uploaded. There are many problems with this, for example from 0.54-0.59 the background of the green screen ins't very appropriate for my genre of music. And almost all the lip syncing in front of the white looks tacky apart from the extreme close up of the mouth. Another problem is that from 1.50-2.01, it is very repetitive and alwell as not having the correct mise-en-scene for my music genre/song. But this was helpful when filming the rest of the music video because we knew what we needed to film and what needed to be improved.
