Production Diary Week 26

This week we carried on editing our video, we have added more lip syncing now we have got the hang of adding it in by keeping the sound on from where we played the music in the background so we know what words we was dealing with. We added more narrative in but we didn't like it because it didn't look natural.

Storyboard

Second draft

Here is our second draft,we experimented alot more the narrative, to ensure that we didn't want to use the stuff where the narrative is looking at the camera. We found as we added more, that it didn't just look confusing but also awkward and not very natural. We did add more lip syncing in though and we found the shots of london worked really well but we're slightly long and became boring.

Production Diary week 25

This week we created our first draft for our video, We didn't have much footage so we couldn't fill the whole video. But we begun to link the lip syncing to the lyrics this is where we came across our first problem as we hadn't expected how difficult it would be, but after lots of try's and cutting the lip syncing down to each lyric at a time we managed to link these well. We also really liked our shisha shots as we felt they reflected the cool vibe of the song really well side by side. Once putting the other narrative shots in we found they got confusing alongside the lip syncing as they was all looking at the camera.

First Draft

Here is the first draft for our music video, this was just experimenting with our first shots. We didn't have enough footage to fill the whole, but we started to link our lip syncing to the lyrics, we really liked the graffiti shots and felt they matched the song. We also like the shisha shots as they matched the cool vibe to our song. We didn't like the narrative shots, as she was looking at the camera so it looked more like a band singing together than two separate parts. I really liked the lip shots and we feel we will use these throughout.

The week we filmed our last narrative shots to tie the story together, these included the shots of me getting ready and walking at the beginning, these gave us a more story like feel to the video and i think this will engage the audience more as they will want to follow the story. We experimented alot with different camera angles firsly through the mirror and also walking over the camera, these gave a very interesting look and gave more or a variety to the shots.

Getting ready shots

Here are the shots we took of our narrative getting ready. We took this to put in the video at the beginning to keep the narrative flowing. We experimented alot with using the mirror to get better angles, I think the mirror shots came out really well as they was more interesting than just looking at the camera I think these will help engage by audience and also tie the whole narrative together more. We was really lucky in these shots as the natural lighting really reflected the mirror nicely so we didn't have to worry.
