27th November Editing

After having to deal with filming constraints, we have finally got some of the footage and we are now editing the film against the music. we have about a minute's worth of of filming and james is editing what we have with the music. This puts us at an advantage because we know exactly how much footage we need and what we need.

the filming has not been done in chronological order due to location changes and having to deal with weather changes. this means we have filmed only parts of the film so we cannot edit too much because we don't yet know what the final piece will look like. hopefully the weather differences will not interfere too much as it has been with the rest of the filming.

Filming setbacks

during the filming for our music video, James and I encountered a number of problems, the main problem being the weather. We needed certain conditions to film the scenes in order for the editing to look it's best. Because of issues with the weather, this may hinder the editing slightly as some of the special effects we wanted to use will be difficult to incorporate.

However, to resolve this problem we have decided to split our filming, so we are going to film some in the rain to represent a change in the time, for example all of the scenes where it is raining will be in the present and all of the 'flashbacks' will be in the conditions we wanted initially (clear weather). There is also a third element which is the scenes with the band; this will also have to be filmed in good weather conditions so we can use adobe after effects to add in the special effects during scenes when the band is playing.

These bad weather conditions have set us back two weeks which means we now have less time to edit the final piece, but hopefully if we can complete all of the filming within the next week we have three weeks left to finish the video off and add the music to the piece.
