FINISHED!

So we planned out filming as i mentioned before. Mahida and i filmed myself and 2 other girls. One of the girls was a bit too shy and it wasn't successful. Zaq and Joe filmed another girl. However, i chose to use a setting in front of a bricked wall which i think represents entrapment ot feeling sad and suppressed. I did mention this to the boys for where they were meant to film but they didn't follow the right instructions and filmed in a different location which changed what we were trying to portray. When it came to the last bit of editing, the boys uploaded the footage, so i came to edit today and couldn't find the footage. After searching the mac i somehow found it, but they had only uploaded myself, the footage they shot, and the girl who was too shy, the other girls footage was missing. So we just left it and edited with what we had. In the end it worked but we had a lot of difficulties and problems. But it is all done now.

Test Footage

This is the test footage we used to practice filming. We ended up using some of this for our video.

Front Cover


This is the front cover to my digipack. It has kept with the screen and has an iconic image of him looking depressed which i like. Its simple and effective. I like the name around the edges and also the R is backwards b i like that too.

Last Min Touch Ups

With our editing fully done up to 3 minutes it looks fine, but the end footage is too long and needs to broken up and we also have a few gaps right at the end. The aim for tomorrow is to bring in the idea of voyeurism into our music video. I have seen in a few music videos where there is a male voice singing but the image you see is a woman. This is not just something in the Indie genre but also in others. This brings in Goodwins theory of the notion of looking. I think have clips of girls singing in between the long footage will not only break up long shots but also make our video a bit more interesting. After telling Mahida my idea we decided to go ahead with it as it was taking too long to wait for us all to be free to film or letting Zaq and Joe do it. So tomorrow Mahida and I have arranged for myself, and 3 other girls to be filmed during a free and will edit this in later on during the day. If we can find any more people then this will be great but at short notice I don't know who we can use.

Here are the videos I have seen with the same sort of ideas..
