Blog Feedback





Above is a screen shot from feedback that I have received in relation to my blog. I have tried to keeping my blog up to date as this was criticism that i previously received, I have tried doing this with weekly journal posts. The feedback that I have received is a fair account, at the top is a mark scheme of how our blogs are marked M = Minimal, B= Basic, P= Proficient  and E= Excellent. My blog currently is a mixture of Basic and Proficient, I want to try and improve this and get the Basic to Proficient or Excellent to do do this I will have to add more detail to my posts and gradually improve my posts. To achieve a good grade I will need to do more work on my blogs and make my posts more detailed.

Journal

This week as a group we came to a conclusion that we weren't going to shoot the Britney Spears 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' spoof as we all agreed that the video would be hard to do with the time and resources that we have. The first video that we started to shoot was the spoof of Queens 'Bohemian Rhapsody', we started to shoot as a four to recreate the four faces but we found this difficult as we all couldn't get into the correct positions. So we came up with the idea to film each other individually and position the faces correctly when using Final Cut Pro. Once we obtained footage from all four of us, with this we cropped the frame so we all fit into the frame. Once we cropped the footage we then had to match the miming with the lyrics of the so everything was synchronised. We also started to shoot some of the footage for our music video, the scene that we done was the Justin Bieber 'One Time' . The reasoning behind us shooting this first is we needed less preparation and it was the easier one to do as there was no dance routine needed. We only required a green screen, a camera and lighting all of which are not time consuming.  As Jason already had the costumes prepared, it meant that as soon as we set up we could start. Before we started shooting we looked at the original video to see the elements that we cold mimic, this was to make the video look as realistic as possible so people know what video and who we are spoofing.

Editing Experiment


Below is a screenshot that I took whilst I was experimenting with the footage. Before we started to edit the footage we had to shoot some footage, in this case we wanted to spoof Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' we first tried to shoot the footage whilst we were all together but due to some technical difficulties with the camera it meant that we was unable to shoot the whole sequence. The next time we shot the sequence we decided to do it individually as we thought this would be easier to construct. Once we shot the footage I put it into Final Cut Pro and experimented with the positioning of the faces. I managed to layer the faces so that all of them could be put onto screen at the same time like it does in Bohemian Rhapsody. I cropped some of the footage so that the face were synchronized meaning that they all sing the song at the same time.



This is the final outcome of the footage that I edited, this was only an experiment so some things could be altered. This outcome has meant that I have managed to get ours as close as possible to the original by Queen. When we shot the footage we shot in a dark room to create the effect, we shone light from below to create the unknown feeling towards each individual.

Change of Location

Today I was contacted by Woolwich Polytechnic School and unfortunately they had some bad news which was we were no longer able to film within their school premise. They said that the paper work that needed filling out was too much for a days filming, due to us needing film more than once they said it would be too time consuming to do so. With this being short notice we have decided to film within school, we are yet to decided on what corridor to use but time and consideration will be taken in choosing so we have a good location.
