(I am having trouble attaching my video, but it is on the website linked above)

Notes for editing

• Recently I made the decision to re-edit my music video, as the three narrative strands were getting too confusing and made it very difficult to fit everything into the video. I have chosen the narrative strand that I believe is the best (the most well-shot, good composition, good lighting, clear storyline) and I am going to stick with that one and edit my video accordingly around that footage.
•  The video will now follow this structure:
• Opening shot of Aled walking and sitting spliced with close-up guitar shots.
• Establishing shots of Aled 

Progress this week

 This past week I have finished editing together my music video, and have begun to put the finishing touches to it such as colour grading. I have begun to fill in the blank space in my performance shots with drawings/graphics - my plan is to animate references to the song lyrics, as well as intertextual references.

 

Raw Footage

Shooting Days

Band Shots (30th August)

Things I had to change:

• My original singer/lip syncer, Felix, had issues with his confidence in performing, and Isobel, who was originally going to drum, had issues with transporting her drum set. To solve both of these issues, I changed it to Isobel lip syncing as she was a more confident singer, and Felix playing bass alongside Louis' guitar, in place of the drums. 
• This then brought about an entirely different issue, in that I couldn't have a female lip syncing to a male singing voice, however I couldn't change the entire song and therefore entire video concept as I had already filmed other elements of it, so I found a female cover of the song by "The Suga Babes".

Details of the raw footage:

• I filmed in two locations, one outdoor, one indoor. I decided it would be a good idea to invest in a green screen to use as a backdrop for the indoor footage, as I would be able to edit it to look like they were in multiple locations, and also use it in a stylistic way and make it more reminiscent of music videos like "I wanna be adored" by the Stone Roses. The outdoor setting was my garden, as it had good lighting and the plants added a nice backdrop to take photos for the website.
• I made sure to film almost all of the time, so that I could collect footage to use in a "behind the scenes" video that could possibly be used for the 30 seconds of additional video required.
