Editing

During lessons i have been editing my music video together. I have used a range of different techniques whe editing a new technique which i used was changing the opacity of some shots so they could be seen over the top of others.

Filming harry

on thursday i filmed harry and his guitar then in the lesson i uploaded the footage using imovie so that i could insert into final cut to be edited.

Staying behind after school and during lessons

For the past 2 weeks in lessons i have been editing the footage which i have into my music video. I also stayed behind last night to do some more editing.

Here what I tried to do was have the candles with all 7 of them on screen at once so they all came on one after another but this didn't work
So i tried it with eyes and then tinting them to be different colours but i didnt think this fitted in with my video.
Then i edited in some more of dance sequence which i really like and the majority of my video is going to be.
this was the water droplets which i re filmed. they are in more focus now and look so much better than the first time i did them. what i did was i tinted them to a purple colour because that is the colour scheme which i have used the whole way through in my digipak and music magazine.
This is the ending of my music magazine and what i did was placed the water droplet over the top of the dance sequence and just changed the opacity so you could see both.

uploading footage to the mac's

After i filmed at home i then uploaded my footage onto the mac's. I came into the next day and during form i came to the mac room and plugged the camera in so that my footage would have been uploaded ready for the lesson period 3.

12/3/12 Filming at home one evening

This evening I re filmed one part of my footage to make sure it was in focus this went well and looks 10 times better than the first filming. I also then did some filming with some candels i hope this will look good once i upload it onto the macs.

filming harry

I have scheduled to film Harry on thursday after school this is because we have had to postpone filming him until now due to family matters. For this filming i will need to make sure that Harry has all his guitars ready and knows what hes doing.

Rescheduling filming

I was ment to film Steph on Sunday but she was ill so we are going to film on tuesday now during the lesson.

7th March

In todays lesson I went through my footage and got a copy of the lyrics and i went through and wrote dow which parts i still needed footage for. I have planned to do some of this filming on Sunday with Stephanie. The scenes i will film will be of Steph sitting on a sofa changing where shes sitting lip synching and i am also going to ask Harry if he is free to do some filming. over ht eweekend i will also do the bit of th ewater droplet as i didnt get a chance to do that the other day.

arranging to film

I have arranged to film some footage this weekend that will be used to go behind the lyrics which i put into my footage. I have also got to re film some bits because when i uploaded them onto the computer they were out of focus.

Practicing with live type

On live type I started trying to practice how to use it. So what i did was i added some text which was 'sometimes its hard to follow your heart'. What i did was i entered the text in two parts so i could over lap them and then put an effect on each so it would fade in with the music and then fade out again. I then added a background and changed the colour but im thinking instead of having a background thats still im going to get some footage to put behind the text whixh i add in.
I then did another set of lyrics and this time i didnt have them on a background so it would be transparent over my footage i also changed the angle at which the text sat to give it a bit more softer effect.

I then exported this text so i could use it in final cut. I dragged it over the piece of footage i wanted it to be over and this is what i got.
