Performance Section Draft

 

 

 

As you can see from my music video so far I only have the performance section of my music video, this is becasue I have yet to find my leading roles. However, the shots that I took and have used are very helpful as to how I want the performance section to look on my final product. Unfortunitly, I will have to shoot this again as I haven't framed the shots very well as you can see the green screen. I will shoot these again within the next week. I will also be on the hunt for actors to play in the narrative section of my music video. 

Shots Taken From First Day of Filming

Shots used:

      

      

      

      

      

      

      

These are the shots i used to make up the narrative section of my music video. By trimming, changing the speed and adding transitions, I was able to match up the song to the lip syncing of my artist. To make this process easier and more accurate for me, I played the song during filming to make sure the timing was exactly to the song. I was then able, using the editing software to line up the shots to make one continuous performance sections. These shots are exactly how I want my final to be framed and timed, however, I am going to re-shoot all of these sections again because when looking back at my footage, I noticed that the green screen is seen in some of these shots. This was really disheartening when I came to editing.

These are the shots I decided not to use:

Final Cut Pro Techniques

In this post I am going to look at possible techniques I could use in my music video to give me knowledge on the software I will be using to produce my final product. I did use this software during my preliminary stage, giving me basic understanding of the software however I want to explore my options to allow me to be more creative whilst producing my product.

In this tutorial Matthew Pearce, who has a YouTube account and regularly post tutorials, has made a tutorial which goes through the basic steps of working on Final Cut Pro X. Which I can learn from to help me develop the knowledge I already have on the program. I like this tutorial because it goes through every process you will need to know if you are new to the program and have never used the software before. The tutorial also looks briefly at effects and transitions and evaluates the points in where Final Cut Pro separates itself from other softwares. With this tutorial I am going to use this video and knowledge to experiment and explore what I can do on this software. 

First Shooting Plan

I plan to shoot my first section of my music video on Wednesday 17th December. On this day, I will be filming the performance section of my music video so that I can spend the rest of my time focusing on the narrative section of my music video.

Here is a few shots taken during the filming of artist. I may use some of these for the magazine article and digipak. When I come to retake these shots I may take separate images for my other products:
