Editing

Today we have not been timetabled in the editing suite and therefore cannot continue with editing our music video. However Serena and i are up to the point where we have completed a rough cut of the video. We learnt how to lip sync and have successfully done this now. We need to film a few more shots to make our visual metaphor which is popcorn stand out more during the video. We shall hopefully complete this, this weekend.

Editing problems

Serena and I are uploading footage that we filmed last week, and thankfully the artist became available to film however we do not have enough of a variety of shots that we would like so are therefore filming again this weekend. We are doing this as we want to make sure that we have plenty to choose from. We will also be filming 'Popcorn Boy' and are using my brother as he will be available and i know that he will completely get into the character of 'Popcorn Boy'.

'Popcorn boy'

Serena and I have contacted a local theatre school, asking if one of their male students would like to participate in our music video. Unfortunately we have not yet heard back from the school so are going to chase it up. We have also started to ask friends and family but finding it hard to find someone who will fully commit.

Alternative character

Serena and I have not filmed this week as the main character that we have planned on using has lets us down twice now who is the artist of the song 'Popcorn Boy'. We are now considering using a drama a level student as we know we can fully rely on her.

Story boarding

Serena and I created story boards to help us with our filming. This will help us as it will make it clear to us which shots to use for each scene. Our post it notes, mood board and story board have all helped us as we now know what we'd like to to achieve with our music video.
