Editing session 1-

Editing Session

Date- 15/11/16

For our first editing session we put a rough copy of our music video together. This session helped to decide if we needed to redo some shots or if we needed to add more in. From this we have decided that we need to add in some more lip syncing shots in the middle of our music video and we need more of the male artists. We also decided that some of the shots were needed in the music video and replaced them with other ones such as the one of the couple walking in London we decided to use an interesting shot of the couple looking over the river with a different angle, we also moved the mirror lip syncing shots to the beginning of the music video because it made the narrative clearer to understand. The shots of the couple walking in London we chose to add in some effects such as  slow motion effect where the couple slow down on the beat of the music. As our second filming session in London went wrong we were short of some clips so we couldn't complete a full copy of our music video, instead we wrote down the shots we need to re do and where we were going to do the.



Filming session 5-

Location- Drama Room
Date- 11/11/16
Equipment- Tripod, LED light, camera

For this filming session we filmed in a drama room to create the silhouette shots for the beginning of our music video. For this we moved the LED light around the room to create a good silhouette, we put the light behind the artist so you can see the outline of her body but unable to see her face. We then moved the camera forward so we get a side profile shot of the arts lip syncing but still unable to see all of her face. Some problems with this filming session is it took awhile for us to find the right position for the light so we could create the silhouette.

Filming Session 3/4-

Location- Sutton,London
Date- 28/10/15, 4/11/15
Equipment- Camera, Tripod


For the filming session in Sutton we filmed in a park. We filmed different shots of the swings which consisted of the camera being on the swing, we also filmed the swings on their own for the present day shots. Some problems with this filming session is that the park soon got busy so we had to film some of our shots in a rush so we didn't get any children in them.

We went into London to film some more shots. We filmed some vlog type shots for the flashbacks to make them seem like a happy couple. We also filmed some shots in the arcade also for the flashback shots, we also filmed the bowling shot and used different angles for them. Some problems with this filming session is that the SD card for the camera stopped working which meant some of our shots didn't film, we then had to use a phone camera to shoot the remanding shots in the arcade.  







Filming Session 2-

Location- Bath
Date- 18/10/16
Equipment- Camera, Tripod, 


For this filming session we filmed some shots in a bath. We decided to film in a bath because it links in with our genre of indie pop because its very typical to it. For these shots we had to use a bath bomb to change the colour of the water, we also had to buy flowers to put them in the bath as well. We used different angles such as high angles to see the artists sliding into the water. This filming session came out well because we filmed everything that we wanted to and it also came out the way we planned. However, we did experience some problems such as because the bathroom was small we had very minimal space to film in.

Filiming Session 1-

Location- London
Date- 14/10/16 
Equipment- Camera, Tripod



For our first filming session we filmed different shots in London. The first few shots were on the London eye where we filmed the couple looking out of the glass. After this we filmed on the streets where we filmed the couple walking along the river bank hand in hand. We filmed other shots such as the couple looking over the side at the river and the couple sitting in the park. These shots turned out well because they are interesting as we used new angles and different camera positions. However, some of the shots weren't what we wanted to such as, some of the shots were shaky although we want the music video to look like the artists are vlogging their time together some of the shots are very shakey which makes them our of focus. When filming in London we came across some problems for example when we filmed on the London eye there was a lot of people so some of the shots we will not be able to use as people are in shots. The main purpose of going into London was to film in the Sealife centre but when we got there it has closed for a private event.
