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.
