EDITING 2

As my partner was in charge of the video, she explained different things she did throughout the process.  During this session, she added the finishing touches and she used some colour correction tools on adobe premiere to add a glossy affect on the video. She used this effect mostly on the chorus shots as they were the most darkest and dullest.  She also made the rest of the footage more brighter to make it seem more alive. She was thinking about contrasting some shots but didn't in the end as they made the footage look posterized and animated. 

She also used the "Luma Curve" which allowed her to fix specific colours and brighten them which made the footage look more colourful and less dull. 

Below is a screenshot of a scene from out music video before and after adding colour adjustments to it.

For our first day editing, we decided that one of us (my partner) should only

edit the video as I was in charge of the digipak and the photos for the

magazine advert. However I still helped her with ideas and what shots should be put where. She would use markers to show where there are strong beats throughout the song so she would be able to 'edit to the beat' and give  We had discussed that when she will next edit the music video, she would focus on the chorus and get it finished as it's repeated throughout the song a few times

Filming The Music Video - Day 2

FILMING DAY 2

On our second day of filming, we had re-filmed what we had previously filmed on the first day with the male actor but we changed it slightly. We filmed with four different shots which were a close up of the singers face, a medium shot of the singers full profile, a medium shot with the singer in the spotlight and a medium shot of her laying on the floor. As we used my partner's Canon camera, we were able to film with the black and white filter on without editing it on the actual footage, which helped us create a really good atmosphere in our video for the ending and other places. 

Filming The Music Video - Day 1

DAY 1

We had decided to film the last shots of the music video first as we thought it would be the longest to film. We had the main singer and and actor to play the abusive boyfriend. During filming, we had figured out the way the singer and the actor should show their emotions of the song in the same shot. The boyfriend was made to look as if he regrets everything and he is trying to reach out to the girl but she has already let go. The main singer was made to look angry about the past events but with the outfit she is wearing and the way she sings the song was made to show her being set free from him and the past.

For our fourth production meeting we discussed about our last filming sessions. We had decided to re-film the footage we had used in our rough cut which was from our first filming session. We also discussed about finalising our ideas and the definite locations we will be using and all the available ties we are able to film in those locations. We then talked about editing our video and how we could improve on it by adding more locations throughout the video and we gained and developed more ideas about using different shots and scenes and how we could edit them throughout our audience feedback. Lastly, me and my partner talked about our editing schedule and plan, for example, if we will have enough footage to edit with and how much of the footage we should edit during all our available times.

PRODUCTION MEETING 3

For our third production meeting, we discussed what we needed to film for our next filming session. We decided that we should film in our other setting which was the park. We also talked about what precautions we needed to take such as making sure that the singer wasn't too cold and so we confirmed details about what kind of clothing the singer should wear in order for her to be comfortable and warm for filming. We also discussed what kind of equipment we needed to use for that filming day, we would need to use a dolly to film the singer walking of our other setting which is a bridge.

PRODUCTION MEETING 2


For our second production meeting, we had to discuss our filming sessions and how we would do it as our male actor could not make the  production meetings. We also discussed the abusive relationship that would be included in the music video and how we would have close up shots on the bruises on the female actress' skin. We also decided on the date we would film again and the details of what shots we would use for that filming session.
