Me and my partner carried on editing this week. We cleaned up and finalised the intro and first verse of the song, and we had also done a variety of other scenes through different verses of the song, but leaving it unfinished as we haven't tidied the shots and have some shots missing that we need to fill in. On Thursday after school, me, Farhana and our cast member, Damanjyot, managed to do all the green screen shots for the chorus parts. Then on the Friday, we uploaded the footage onto Final Cut Express and carried on with the editing. We also was trying to figure out how to place the picture behind the green screen as we wasn't as experienced as much with using Final Cut Express than iMovie.
How does this fit in with the production schedule/job roles/overall ideas for the project?
This fits with our production schedule as we completed the chorus' with the green screen, and within our production schedule, our aim was to do the green screen for the chorus scenes. Me and Farhana had also agreed on the chorus being a performance and the green screen would be a padded cell to portray Damanjyot's chararcter as clear as possible as she has psychological problems and we wanted to show that by having her in a mental place. Job roles contained me and Farhana both filming different shots and helped on directing Damanjyot. The ideas for the overall project were looking good, although, we did have doubts on our green screen as it wasn't going to plan when we were both filming and editing it.
Were there any problems?
Yes. Our first problem was dealing with the scheduling of green screen day as we had to figure out what days Damanjyot was free and when myself and Farhana were free. Also, because a lot of other groups had to use green screen, we had to make sure we weren't going to clash with them. We originally decided to do green screen on Wednesday after school, but Damanjyot, without realising, straightened her hair... because this was not the crazy look we wanted, we wanted to rearrange the date to another day. Another problem was when me and Farhana uploaded the footage onto Final Express Cut, the green screen lighting varied with a lighter green and a darker green, most were dark. We were baffled as to why this happened as the spotlights when we were filming, were on all the time.
How did you/will you overcome them?
We dealt with our first problem calmly and changed the green screen day to Thursday. We chose that day as we were all free after school, no one was using the green screen, and Damanjyot had made her hair curly again. The green screen light issue was confusing to understand. We got one of our teachers who was in the room at the time to look at the problem and she hadn't understood why that happened either. Me and Farhana were not very pleased, but began thinking of a plan b... we decided to re-film, but this time, not using green screen, have Damanjyot performing in a music studio, with maybe some elements of the green screen fitted in to the chorus. Now we know our next task has to be in finding a day when to film in the music studio.
What are the plans for the following week?
Our plans for the following week are to film the chorus scenes in the music studio. Our deadline to finish our editing is on Friday, which will mean coming back in our frees and after school to finish everything off. We have to make sure to perfect our music video as much as we can to achieve the best grade possible.
