GROUP: Phoebe Hall, Katie Dunning, Holly Connell, Jamie Hewlett
26/06/17 - First meeting in our Prelim groups. We had to decide what music video we wanted to create. We narrowed it down to:
Call Me Maybe
Love Me Like You
Last Friday Night
Marvin Gaye
We liked these music videos because they all had a fun, upbeat sound and feeling to them. We liked the pop songs because the videos looked fun to film and they included different camera angles and settings.
We created a media group chat, where we further discussed what videos we wanted to recreate.
27/06/17 - Today we decided on the music video Call Me Maybe. In this lesson we watched the video frame by frame up until 1 minute and screenshot all the different angles and created a storyboard. We then created a list of props and costumes we needed and shooting schedule.
28/06/17 - Today we went to Phoebe's house and managed to film the first 30 seconds of the music video.We used Phoebe's conservatory and garden as the setting for the video. The filming was successful and we got some good shots and were able to get a lot of filming done. Obviously we don't have the exact same settings and props but we were able to recreate the shots well. If we were to do it again we would probably try and do it on a day with better weather.
29/06/17 - In today's lesson, we uploaded the footage shot yesterday onto the computer and begun to edit it on premier. To edit we needed to zoom the pictures out and colour correct it to make the video lighter and have a warm glow like the video. We found out that some of the shots we filmed didn't look like the shots we wanted and some files went corrupt so we need to refilm some shots. We also worked on the blog posts that we needed for the video.
30/06/17 - In today's lesson, we continued the editing and blog posts. So far we are pleased with what we have created so far, even though we have to retake some shots and finish filming the rest of the video.
03/07/17 - Today in lesson we carried on with editing and the blog posts. We also loaded the car with the drum kit. After school, we went to Holly's house and filmed the garage scene. For this scene we needed some extra people to help us film as we would all be a part of the band. We needed a drum player, 2 guitar players, a keyboard player and a singer. We had to clear out the garage and set the drums and band up. The filming went really well and we got all the shots we needed. We finished our filming today.
04/07/17 - Today we downloaded all of our footage and carried on with the editing and the updating of the blog posts.
