Finished Music Video

Below is the finished version of my music video.

Editing: Day 1

Below i have started doing my editing day one. Here i have changed the composition of the music video to 1280x720 meaning i will have my music video all in HD. Once i had set the screen size i had to import the files in which i had recorded. the way i went about doing the was going onto the Premier Pr CS6 and clicking on File > Import > and then selecting the files from their saved destination. Once i had imported the file i wanted they were position in a small window and allowing me to click onto files i wanted. I firstly started by dragging the music file of my chosen song onto the Audio 1 field within premier pro. The file in which i included was a simple shot of my walking through a tunnel next to the wall. the reason why i chose to do this was because there is a small intro in which the clip fits in with. Once i had done this at the start of the video there is a small count down from 5 to 1, From this i decided to add titles in which would match this creating a visual countdown as well. The way i added titles was by clicking on the tab Title > New Title > Default Still. This allowed a window to appear in which i then created the titles from.

Filming: Day 2

My second day of filming consisted of my new cast members. The Filming took place in a series of different places, for example my first place that filming took place in was inside my friends bedroom. Within this location the only shots i got were shot of the main character, these were not shots in which were lip syncing but they were shots in which i could most definitely put into my music video as it matches the songs beat. Once i had shots of just my main character we went into my friends back garden in which it was a bright day and the garden looked very ideal for us to film in. In this location we got quite a few good shots in which were good for lip syncing. We managed to record my chosen artist to lip sync to the chorus in which was vital, so from this location i was very pleased with these shots. Once we had recorded and were happy with the shot we got we thought as the songs basic meaning is for the characters to act like children it would be ideal to record in a park. Once we had done the Park shooting the final record was through some streets and shots just small clips in which i would be able to fit into my music video to take up space in which i do not have lip syncing for. Over all i feel that this was quite a successful day in shooting as a lot of recording what was helpful was done.

Planning: Casting changes

My initial plan for my casting was to have Andy Bellamy (Picture on the left) and Dane Haughey (Picture on the right), the we encountered a few problems. One of the problems we encountered were is that since one of them got an apprenticeship a to of time was taken up so this become an issue when trying to organise to film. Another issue that occurred was during the filming they did not fit in with the genre completely so the music video did not feel right. During the filming they did not look comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera whilst the song was playing which would have obviously resulted in my music video being to a lower standard then I have originally planned it for . 

My new cast members consist of Tobi Kareem and George Keenoo. I am positive that these two would be much better then my original cast member because of experience and confidence. Tobi Kareem currently studies at a college in which he performs for his music so this is a huge bonus to my music video as his confidence and experience will increase the standard of my video. Below i have a small video in which shows one of Tobis projects in which he took part in as part of his college course. George Keenoo also has experience in being in music videos, his experience is not as much as Tobis so i am going to have Tobi as the main character and George as the supporting cast member. A picture of George is shown to the right of this text and a video is shown of Tobi below.
