FS- Print work rough cut
After taking the original image from our print work ideas on the previous post, I put it in photoshop and put a very subtle colour grading on it making the harsh whites more cream.

Group - Rough Cut feedback
During the lesson on 11/10/16, the class came together to view a rough cut of what each group had achieved with their music video so far.
After the viewing of our rough cut, the feedback that we were able to take away from both teachers and classmates is as follows:
- The comedic nature of our video that we had aimed to convey translates well and forms a clear part of the framework of the project.
- The slow-motion footage, combined with the close-up shots of the artist's face/lip-syncing etc. along with the abstract guitar playing also work well and do not contradict each other as we feared could have been a possibility before we had begun editing.
- However, one suggestion was that, while the close-ups of the artist and the 'playing up for the camera' nature of the shots that form the majority of our video so far seem to work well, what we need is a variety of shot styles, predominantly including more of the shots where the artist acts in a more 'candid' manner and does not seem to be addressing the camera directly. Fortunately, some of our unused footage from the Kensington shoot fits this profile of shot, and we hope to be able to use some of this footage to broaden the shot variety in our music video.

FS- Rough cut update
In our rough cut currently, we've tidied up some of the cuts between shots and started on the intro part to our song. during our shooting of this section, the two shots that were meant to be together. one of the shots was slightly over exposed so we had to colour grade one to make them fit together properly. however the lighting in the windows of the car was different so we needed to put a short black screen in between.

FS- Lesson log: 1/11/2016
- In today's lesson we started the editing aspect of our video in DaVinci, after we placed the files in the media pool we put the track on the timeline.
- We then, selective our opening shot, a tracking shot of our main character (me) playing guitar.
- After placing this on the timeline we had to change the clip speed down to 50 percent, also selecting the ripple tool.
- We repeated this for several shots, also selecting where necessary cuts on the beat.
