Rough Cut

We pretty much have our rough cut finished with the images from our storyboard in place of the actual band footage, we have been unable to film our band scenes this week due to the Christmas school concert being on. We are definitely going to film when we get back to school after the Christmas holidays! We could have done it in the holidays but we either need to use the drama room or the hall in school and we are not able to come into school when they school holidays are on. This means that we will be able to get it done as soon as we come back to school in January. We have put all of the shots together and we are quite pleased with how it looks at the minute. Obviously it has no edits in yet and we are quite confident that our music video will look good when we add them in after finishing our shooting of the band scene. We are currently watching the video through and checking that all of our shots fit together and that we have no continuity errors. We spotted a slight one where Greg ran down a hill and then the camera was on the other side when the next shot was shown, we have sorted this out and there is no longer a continuity error, we will check this again when we have finished our band shooting. I will upload our 'rough rough' cut tomorrow; after the first week that we get back we should have our final rough cut and then we will continue with editing and then we will have our final one so it should be too long before we are finished our music video and then we will focus on the print based products that we have began recently.

Progress

This is an image of our work in progress, we are piecing together the parts of the chase scenes and cutting them so only the parts we want are shown, the storyboard images are being added in so when we get the band scene filmed it is only a matter of placing the pieces of it where the images are and then adding the appropriate edits to give the best effects, tomorrow we are going to add the music in to ensure all timing is correct. 

Rough Cut

We are currently producing our rough cut, we have not yet filmed our band scenes due to let downs by the cast and room availability, however we aim to get this filmed at the beginning of the week, in the mean time to ensure we do not let the lack of filming affect us we are piecing together the rough cut and placing images from the storyboard of the band where we think the band scenes might go, I will upload an image of our progress in Adobe Premiere Pro onto my blog soon. Also as always we are thinking of the ideology we are portraying and ideas for the print based products. We are quite happy with the Magazine advert that i previously uploaded so we think we are going to keep that and put the image in the middle; however things may change and when we add the picture and we don't feel like it looks as good as it could we will change it and choose different colours and typography etc. We have thought about doing a similar colour scheme on our other print based products to show the link between them. But.. although it is early days yet for the print based products so we are prioritising our rough cut over these for the time being.

Updates

We are aware that we should have our rough cut done by now, however we have had trouble with our shooting as when we have been able to film the rooms have been full, meaning that we can't use them. We are currently looking through the chase scene shots that we filmed last week and we are going through them and picking out the ones that are suitable for our music video. While we are doing this we are thinking about where each one can go in terms of the order of them and what edits we can use. We are going to use some fades in order to make it seem that he is being chased for a while. Similarly we are deciding suitable times for the band scenes to come into the video. When we have decided what clips we are going to use we are going to piece them into Adobe Premiere Pro and just put our storyboard images where the band will be, this will stop the lack of shooting preventing us from progressing on with our project. When we have finished the shooting we are going to replace the storyboard shots with the actual shots. Also we feel like piecing the video together on Adobe Premiere Pro now will help us as it will allow us to see any gaps that may appear in our video and show us if any re-shooting needs to be done. However we are confident that we have a sufficient amount of shots.
