Group - Updated cut 05/12/2016










  • Since the previous version, clips from the entire video have been re-arranged in order to allow for a faster cutting rate to be employed during the chorus. This faster cutting rate has brought about a variety of cutting rate for our video and made it more exciting, as was advised by teachers. 
  • Clips have also been re-arranged so that we could have the supermarket section start after the chorus, instead of during the chorus. This helps to separate the chorus from the rest of the song visually, whereas before the Tesco section was fairly unnoticeable.
  • The outro (car driving away) has also been removed, as on reflection we decided that it seemed like an outtake and did not fit with the video.

FP - Editing log 30/11/2016

Frankie and I had a conversation with the teachers, during which it was decided that at present, the cutting rate of our video is fairly constant all the way through. It was agreed that in order to make it more exciting and a more accurate visual representation of the song, in places the cutting rate would need to be increased and varied. However, due to the fact that, having completed the timeline, a lot of the clips lined up with the song in a specific way, therefore we couldn't simply cut clips up and move them around without  planning and calculating the precise timings. This meant finding new unused footage from untouched clips and remaining parts of clips that we had previously trimmed. Today I chose to begin by increasing the cutting rate of the clips shown during the second chorus, as can be seen below.

FP - printwork log 22/11/2016

Today we received the photos from the Kensington shoot (shot on 35mm film), that I took to be processed. Whereas before we only had digital re-creations of the shots we had managed to shoot on film, we are now able to view the actual photos that we are likely to use for our print work. This means that we can actually begin to make productive progress with our print products. To begin with, we plan to create a shortlist of photos that we would like to use for the album artwork and magazine advertisement. Once selected we can begin to arrange, edit and finalize these images to render them usable for the final products.

Below are a few examples of pictures from the batch received today.

FS Lesson log 21/11/16

FP - Edit refelction 21/11/2016

During today's lesson, due to the fact that we needed to get more of our footage on the timeline, we selected the best shots from those we filmed in the supermarket in Notting Hill.
Once on the timeline, we decided the point at which we wanted to use these shots in the song and began to cut, re-order and change the speed of them.
The addition of these shots led to significant progression with our video, while adding more shots that fit the profile of those we were advised to use more of during the feedback from our rough cut.
