Day 4 Editing

Filming Day 4:

Today, at lunch Alicia and I managed to film the parts of the song that we wanted to film with Matthew as we wanted him to sing the main lyrics of the song as they're sung mostly by men. We managed to set the lights up as they were before and this time we borrowed a try pod which made it a lot easier to have the camera at the same position each time that we filmed.

As I previously made a sheet of all of the lyrics that we needed Matthew to film it made it easy for Matthew to know exactly what he needed to film. To help him know exactly when to sing we played the song lyrics in the background so it made it easier for him to lip sync. We decided to use the black background as this is what we want throughout our music video to make it look emotional and make people connect to it.

Editing:

In the lesson today we added all of the clips that we had filmed into final cut pro and added the clips to the parts of the song that we wanted him to be singing for. As we were importing the clips we noticed that some of the clips were wobbly and blurry this is because Matthew was moving around a lot which made the camera wobble a lot more than we wanted. Therefore, we decided to see if making the brightness of the clips helped with making it less blurry which it did slightly.

When we added all of the clips we talked and decided that the blurriness of the clips where to noticeable so we decided we were going to have to film a few of the clips with Matthew and Alicia again. This is very frustrating but we believe that by filming it again it will improve it and make the video all round the same quality of filming.

We are looking at filming tomorrow at some point again with Matthew.
