DEVELOPMENT - Video Editing & Arranging Re-shoot

Today I continued editing our music video with Kate and we were able to import more of our footage to create our rough cut. We imported the majority of our footage from London, this included our footage in Trafalgar Square, Borough Market and Embankment. We used the cutting tool to create a rough cut for each of these scenes.

We obtained feedback from our peers about our video and from this we have changed some of our ideas for the editing and have decided to re shoot some of our footage because we have realised the story is not shown clearly at the beginning of the video.

We have also had a change in idea of how to display one of the elements of our story which is the part to show the girl's friends dropping out throughout the day as they are unable to go out to London. This is shown through images of texts on here phone throughout the first half of the video to symbolise her loneliness for the rest of the video.

We created these graphics using Adobe Photoshop and put the phone images on a green screen so that we could use the green screen tool on Adobe Premiere Pro. We incorporated them into our video by importing them into the second layer and removing the green screen so that the graphic overlaps our footage. We added a tilt which enabled us to have them appearing during shots to display the story.

We have also decided to re shoot next Thursday and film over the shoulder shots of our model receiving these texts on a mobile phone and zooming into them. We plan to re shoot next week and after completing this we will compare the two methods and decide which one we think will work the best for the mise-en-scene of our video.

I have arranged to have the video camera and tripod for this day so we are able to undertake our re-shoot and I have created a list which explains what needs to be re-shot so nothing is missed and the shots will be correct in order to be edited into our rough cut.
