Progress - Week Two of practical

This week, we started to edit our music video and we also did some filming using the green screen with one of our characters, Tom. When we were filming using the video camera, we also took some still pictures using a camera to show what we were doing. This week, we used a video camera, tripod, green screen, the professional lights, iMac computer and final cut express which we are editing our music video on. 



This is the green screen with the back lights focusing on the vinyl which we put in the middle of the green screen to get the best lighting we possible could. We had to put an extention lead on the green screen in order for the vinyl to work but we made sure it wan't in shot. 

This is Richard putting the name of our song on the vinyl, we wanted to test this and see if it would work in black and white. When we edited, we came to the conclusion that it didn't work which means we have to film this bit of the video again. 

This is me recording the vinyl spinning around and trying to get the best shot possible and use the lights effectively. The video was recording a close up on the name of the band on the vinyl.

This is a picture of Richard filming Tom running on the spot on the green screen. We have done this to show our techniques in using the green screen and the lighting. Also, we have filmed this as we are showing our characters running against the power of the vinyl to represent their state of mind as they are on drugs. 

However, once we started to edit the filming we did in the green screen, we noticed that the lighting wasn't correct which brought us to the agreement of filming the scenes again and taking more time lighting the room correctly. 

This is the first part of our editing, we have used colour correction to make our footage black and white and to distort our image a little. 

This is Richard editing some of the filming we did the night before, we are using the guides as well to make sure we used the correct techniques.

This is me editing the colour, I have increased the blackness to make it more distorted and I was checking the guide to make sure that I had used the right techniques.

Here is Emma finishing up the first part of editing the colour of the start of the video, as we had some lines around our image, Emma was changing the numbers to try and refine the lines around the side of the films.
