Production Log: Week 8
In our final week of editing we cut in the extra footage that we shot in the Brick Lane area and synched the sound up with the singing in the video.
We realised that we needed to add a scene where that main character is on her own, we decided to use Brick Lane as the location to shoot this scene as the heavily graffitied walls and narrow roads would give our video a slightly less mainstream look. We took a variety of shots from different angles so that when it came to the editing stage we would be able to pick the best footage to be in the music video.
Once we had put the footage onto the Mac and started editing we had to decide which shots to keep and in which order to put them in, me and Shryia had some different ideas but after discussing them we came to a compromise that resulted in better more rounded video.
One of the difficulties we face was that in some of the shots it was quite hard matching the audio to Shryia singing in the video, this meant that we had to cut the shots in different places to where we had planned but it was necessary in order to get the lip synching to a good standard.
I feel that overall this project me and Shryia have worked well together, our difference in music tastes and artistic ideas has meant that our music video has a well rounded feel that uses some of the main points of mainstream music videos but has also incorporated a slight indie feel.

Production Log: Week 7
During this week me and my partner have continued to edit our video and have reshot the scene where Shryia is in the studio, and have begun planning the filming of an additional scene.
At this stage we have finished editing the the first verse of our music video, this has meant that we have had to review all of the footage that we shot in the park and place the best shots in an order that flows well and that the placing of the cuts matches the beat of the music. In the planning of the additional footage we have both agreed that we need footage of the main character on her own at the end of the song and we have chosen Brick Lane as the location. This decision has meant that we have had to reorder some of the existing footage so that the lip synching still works and we have to do a risk assessment for the new location and plan a day when we are both free to film.
The main challenge this week is that we have had to cut into our editing time to reshoot the studio scene, and although this was competed quicker than the original filming because we knew the exact shots we wanted it still took a total of one hour to film and then upload the footage which is an entire lesson.
We overcame this by again leaving the footage to finish uploading during break so that by our next lesson the footage was uploaded and ready to replace the shots we felt needed altering.

Production Log: Week 6
This week we uploaded all of our footage onto the Mac and began editing it into a music video, we started this process by reviewing the footage and selecting the best shots to use.
During the beginning of editing after we had separated the best shots we began to put them into an order that we felt would best match the feel of the song at that particular point, we also made a point of keeping all of the footage that we hadn't used in case we needed it to cut 2 shots together or if a shot that we had already selected could not be used for some reason.
The main difficulty that we faced this week was that because of the large amount of filing we had done it took a long time to upload our footage onto the Mac which meant that we had less time to edit. We had initially planned to edit on the newest version of iMovie but due to complications when uploading we were forced to use the slightly older iMove HD. in order to overcome this problem we left the footage to upload over lunch so that when it came time for our lesson the footage was already on the Mac and we could begin editing straight away.
Next week we are aiming to continue with the editing of our video with the possibility of reshooting some scenes which we feel need altering. At the current pace we should finish editing on time and have allowed ourselves enough time to reshoot again if required.
