11th- 25th March

Production Work:


During these two weeks we have been working thoroughly throughout in both lessons and non contact time to finish our media final production and subsidary tasks. The editing has been a challenge due to lack of help from certain members of our group and due to the lip syncing with our song. When choosing a music video we had an understanding it would be a challenge, but as we knew this we thought of ways in which we could overcome the problems easily.

We concentrated on the editing and lip syncing to make sure all was correct throughout. During these weeks, we all felt an intense atmosphere as everybody was under pressure fulfilling the last parts of the editing and burning to disc. We had slight difficulty with some shots, as we noticed a few were filmed incorrectly or with an unsteady hand when the tripod was not needed. Therefore we decided to film two shots again, and upload them to the mac in replacement of the old shot. I am glad we did this, as it looks a lot more professional than if we had just left them as they were previously. Also, because we had to change these shots meant that when we adjusted them, some of the lip syncing after this cut was out of sync. We had to concentrate on making these back to the original length, and this was frustating at first because it was time comsuming, but we managed to finish it in the end. The film was finished by the deadline date of the 25th March, and we felt happy with our outcome. When watching it back from a critical perspective, I felt that we could have used more cuts and edits as some of the shots were too long. However, overall I think this media film is the most professional I have achieved, with having to overcome a few problems throughout the production.

This is our final A2 Production:
'Beautiful' Music Video.
