Production Log 8

What have you contributed to this week?
This week Me and my partner Ellie carried on editing our music video. Me and Ellie first continued with the intro and the first verse of our music video. Me and Ellie also done different variety of shots from the song and tried to complete parts which we were fully content with. Although we left it unfinished we made sure we completed the shots which we were completely sure about. We put all the lip syncing which our cast had done in the places where it was suppose to be. On Tuesday we had to stay back after school to re-film the green screen as we faced a few problems with the first time we had done the green screen. On wednesday me and Ellie decided that we should re-film the scenes which we were in as we felt the camera language did not engage with the audience.  




How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project?
This part of editing fits in with our production schedule as we completed the parts which we were completely sure about. Our original aim was to do the green screen for the chorus scenes which we also re-filmed on tuesday after school. My partner and Me had also agreed on the chorus being a performance and the green screen would be a padded cell to portray Damanjyot's character as our teacher had suggested this idea.The job roles consisted of me and Ellie both filming different shots and helped in directing Damanjyot while being filmed. The ideas for the overall project were looking interesting however, we did have doubts on our green screen as it wasn't going to plan when we were both filming and editing it as we experienced a few problems. 

Were there any problems?
We had experienced problems as mentioned before. Our first problem was re-scheduling the greenscreen on a day in which Damanjyot, me and Ellie were free. We also had to make sure no other group was filming on the same day as us. .Another problem we faced was that me and Ellie uploaded the footage onto Final Express Cut and the green screen lighting varied with a lighter green and a darker green shade in the background most of which were dark. We were left confused as to why this happened for the second time as the spotlights were always on while filming.

How did you/will you overcome them?
Me and Ellie dealt with our first problem calmly and decided all we could do is change the date to tuesday after school and try once again to make the green screen look completely perfect. Instead of aggravating we were calm and mature.The issue we had with the lighting left us baffled. We were unsure as to why this happened. Me and Ellie then got one of our teachers who was in the room at the time to look at the problem and she hadn't understood why that happened either.We were not very pleased as this happened for the second time, but began thinking of another plan. We decided to re-film, but this time, not using green screen, as we have already done it twice and it has not helped us in anyway rather it has delayed our editing. We decided we should have Damanjyot performing in a music studio, with maybe some elements of the green screen fitted in to the chorus as this will be best for our current situation and lack of time.
What are the plans for the following week?
Mine and Ellie's plans for the following week is to film the chorus scenes in the music studio and the green screen again. Our deadline to finish our editing is on Tuesday, which will mean coming back in our frees and after school to finish everything off and to the best of our ability. We have to make sure that our music video is perfect so that  we achieve the best grade possible and that of which we expect and are expected.
