Darren, Yanick and Omar video

weekly production 9

This week me, Yanick and Darren (my group) finally finished our music video for our media production. As I said in the last weekly production It took us almost the whole of the half term to film it, 2 weeks of editing and 8...scratch that 9 weekly productions...and a hell of a lot of editing but still...it was worth it. Since this the the 9th weekly production and the final one out of all of them...were just gonna skip to the point. This week I contributed by...(sigh) you know what forget, you know how contribute in lessons because I have been saying it in the past 3 weekly productions. I tap out the beats in the song and I check if the lip syncing is on point with the song were using because if the lip syncing was off point then it wouldn't look right so there...that's contribute... I contribute by doing the same thing every week yes it gets boring after a while when I'm talking about the same thing every weekly production but it's the only thing I know how to contribute by and the reason it's the only thing I know how to contribute by is because it's ONLY JOB ROLE I HAVE IN THE FLAMING GROUP!...(sigh)...anyways (apart from that out burst) this fits in with the production because..well...I know I say this a bunch of times but...you know what forget it, this fits in with the production schedule because 1.The scenes in the video reminds us of the risk assessment and what we had to be careful for while filming, 2.The same locations we filmed over the half term are going to be in the music video and 3.ALL OF THIS..is going to be happening in the music video. This also fits in with my job roles because I check if the lip-syncing is on point with the song and I tap out the beats in the song so when every time it drops the scene cuts.

Were there any problems...well this would probably be part of the production were I say that the lip syncing in the video in the video is a problem but since we it was solved in the lesson thanks to the editor (Darren) it was no longer a problem, so no...we didn't have any problems while finishing the editing. What are our plans for the following of next week...well...to be honest I think this is where we draw the line...we pretty much finished filming and editing our music video so I guess that's it. It's been a long, hard working, tiring...mostly exhausting ride but still it worth going through because if we didn't we would of never finished it but still I don't what were doing next week...guess were going to have to wait till then...

Weekly Production 8

This week me, Yanick and Darren (my group) almost finished our music video for our media production. It took us almost the whole of the half term to film it, 2 weeks of editing and almost 9 weekly productions (this is the eighth one) but it was worth it because if we only had one week I don't if we'd of finished it. This week I contributed the same way I always contribute....adding and saying some of my ideas, taping out the beats in the song and editing some of the scenes in the music video. Another way I contributed this week when I was checking when the scenes needed cutting and if the lip syncing was on point with song in the music video...This fits in with the production because...well...as I said many times in these weekly productions this is going to be happening in the music video...this also fits in with my job role from tapping the beats because well...I said this before or something similar to this but every time the beat drops, the scene cuts...so when the scene cuts it adds a jump in the video and that's...how it fits in with the production. Did we have any problems...well...to honest we didn't have any problems this week, and it's funny because out of the days of filming, the 2 weeks of editing and 8 weekly productions...this is the first time this week we never had a problem with the filming or the editing, or if we did then the problem with the media production would still be the lip-syncing because like I said in the last weekly production it's either not on point with the song or comes in at the wrong timing apart from that   what are our plans for the following of next week...well...to honest...I guess we would be either continuing and maybe finishing of our media production as soon as we finish that...well...I don't what our plans we'll be planning to do after that...guess we're going to have to wait until then.

weekly production 7

This week me and my media group (Yanick and Darren) continued editing the our music video for our media production we filmed over the half term. I contributed this week because my job role (besides editing the music video) was to tap out the beats of the song we were using for our music video, only this time instead of tapping the beats on the table, I was tapping the space bar on the i mac so my group (Yanick and Darren) know then edit and cut out the scene we shot. This also fits in with my contribution because this is my job role for my group as well. This fits in with the production schedule because...well... like I said in the weekly production 6 this was going to be happening in the music video that we happen to be still editing. The only problem we (our group) had during the week, we were editing our music video was just that the lip-syncing in the music video is off and still needs more work because when it comes on, the lip-syncing either looks like it's to fast or  comes on screen at the wrong timing of the song. This problem also affects me as well because the way I see it...it just looks...well...amateur...and I also fear that if we don't edit it properly before the dead line then it well just look wrong and...well to be honest I don't know how else to describe it but besides from that the editing coming along nicely and (the pieces are)slowly coming together. From what I know the end line for our music video production is next week (13th of March) So I guess my plans for the rest of next week is to continue editing group music video production.  

weekly production 6

This week me and the rest of my group started the editing of our music video we filmed over the half term. During the half term we started filming on Saturday then finished the production on Friday and started editing on Tuesday. We decided to take it in turns on who was editing on the video. Yanick edited on first day, then Darren did the editing for next lesson, then I handled the editing for the lesson. This shows how I contributed this week because I wasn't just editing the shots of locations we filmed but I was also tapping out the beats in the song so that way my group knows when to cut the scene of the video which (in a way) adds a jump in the video. This fits in with the production of the music video because it happens throughout the locations of the video for example in the car park scene. Every time the beat drops the scene of the location cuts in the video. The only problem I had was that I sometimes struggled to cut or find some of the shots we filmed. Another problem I had was I sometimes lost track of what scene we were going to use next because I failed to pay attention. I still don't how I will over come this...in fact...I don't think I will ever overcome this at all...guess I'm gonna have to learn how to deal with it until I get better at listening to people. I guess my following plans for the rest of next week is to continue my group editing for our music video.
