Editing Week 3

This week we added all the effects to the video including colour correction and any effects like blurring the video. This was done by adding adjustment layers in Premiere Pro as well as using After Effects which had more tools available. Spencer added most of the effects as he knows how to use these tools.

Rough Cut Screening/Feedback

This is our unfinished cut - we screened it to a class of our peers. They are our target audience and can provide useful feedback.





The class feedback was very useful, as the class gave us specific notes on our video, the main one being some lip synch issues which we will fix, there were also some issues with camera movement which we can also fix using After Effects. Overall, the class thought our video was very high quality and impressive and the main things they praised were the lighting, the effects and most of the camera work.

Editing: Week 2

Each lesson we rotate who edits the video while we direct and add our ideas, working on the chorus of the song which is one of the most complex parts.
we have finished the edit of the video and now we have to add effects to the video such as colour/lighting correction as well as aesthetic changes to make it visually appealing.

Editing Week 1

We have started to add adjustment layers in order to colour correct or add effects to the shots, we also plan to add most of our effects after the edit is completely finished.

Filming Week 4: National Theatre and Leake Street

 We filmed at the National Theatre which was our final location, the filming went well as the lighting outside was bright. The architecture there made for great shots and composition, we would have filmed at twilight where the lighting would be more cinematic but we ran out of time. However, all the footage we did film was good quality

 

 

We reshot footage at Leake Street in order to get better shots and complete the story. There were new graffitti designs which were visually appealing, and we got everything we needed to complete the video in editing.

Filming week 3: Studio

We filmed in the TV studio which allowed us to control the lighting which made for a better in camera look. This was the final footage we needed so now we can edit and complete the video.

Filming Week 2: Sky Garden

We filmed in Sky Garden and it went well, it looked very visually appealing and the view was fascinating, however we arrived a little late due to transport delays so we had less time to film, But what we did film looked good.
