Extra Editing

We have been given the opportunity to do extra editing after college, out of lesson time. We have booked the day of Wednesday the 22nd of October where all our group members will come in and we will continue to edit our music video. Hopefully but this time we will also have the extra footage that we can upload onto final cut and edit and put into our music video. Once we have had this extra session our music video will start to look complete and all we will have to do is make sure the editing in the extra film is good and make sure the whole video runs smoothly with any transitions, all the editing and making sure the lipsyned parts are in the correct place. Then finally our project will be completed and ready to hand in on the deadline week starting the 3rd of November.

Extra Shooting

We are going to do a bit more extra shooting in one of our lessons because we did not quite get enough during the actual filming time. The part that we will be filming is the end of the music video as we have everything else already in order but no ending to finish the music video off.

Dirty Pretty Things Split

On the 1st October 2008, the four member band announced that they are going to split after their 11 date tour finishes in Southamptons Guildhall on the 18th of October. Frontman Carl Barat explained to the NME website that each band member would be exploring new music projects and none of this involved The Libertines. He also confirmed that they did not want to cancel their final tour and that they are reluctant to give up touring but will give the last waltz everything. Barat also said 'It's been a glorious three years which we all would gladly live out again, but it is time for us to try new things.' Their farewell tour kicks off on October the 4th in Glasgow....

Filming

We managed to get most of our filming done one evening after college in Hardwick. The filming went well apart from we didn't quite manage to get enough footage. We will now film the rest of the footage during one lesson when all group members are here! The part that i think went well during shooting was the variety of different angles and shots that we managed to get, the only bad point was that we did not quite manage to get all the footage done and we only had one female actor, where as in our plans we were going to have many different female actors.

Group 41 - Test Footage

Are test footage, is more an example of the kind of shots we will use and the location types, rather than a definite test of the narrative. Our shots also are not in any particular order. We were pleased however with how the test footage ended up looking with the music attached. The first shot is giving us an idea of how we want it could look when the male actor goes out on dates with a lady. The shot we got of the two lads walking towards the camera is the type of shot we will be hoping to use when the unhappy male performer is being comforted by his mates in the actual video. Also, we liked the look of the shot where the male performer would be singing looking straight into the camera. This test footage was just giving us an idea what sort of shots and angles we could use in the actual shooting of our music video.

Blog Feedback

All the other groups looked at our blog and then wrote down some feedback for us. Below is all the feedback we received......

Good Use of influential video
Good Pitch
Not Much evidence - on the band and previous videos...etc
Too vague on location, props...
need to extend on feedback for animatic
List of location shots need developed??


Now with this feedback we will take in consideration what all the groups have said in the feedback and we made changes accordingly.
We slightly developed the location further, but we were still undecided on where we actually filming so we could not do too much detail for this.
We also done a post on Band Info and Info on the band splitting up, which we did not have until after we received the feedback and finally we slightly added some more detail to the shot list.
