I’m am now a part of Youth Productions and we are making a
music video for a up and coming artist named Elle Wood (Official Facebook page
below) and with us she will make a music video for one of her recently recorded
songs and now we are setting the task of making the music video to make her a
star.
15/5/2014- Today we were two team members down and now we
have to think of a whole new idea because our original one was shot down
because it had no structure to it. At the start of the day we were just three
normal people and by the end of it we had done a magical thing and made what we
see saw as a great piece of work. All we need to do now is show that it can be
a reality.
19/5/2014 – We now have to educate one member of our team
who wasn’t in on Thursday and now we have to make the idea viable one in preparation
for the paperwork to begin tomorrow. The other member who was off on Thursday
has turned up now and once we have explained the idea to her we can now iron
out any cracks in the story ready for paperwork to begin tomorrow.
20/5/2014 – Today paperwork was filled out to an industrial
level standard and now we are moving closer to making this film a reality with
only four more pieces of paperwork to be done tomorrow and we have to meet the
actor who will be in our film scheduling will be done to tomorrow so that after
half term we can go straight out and film this video.
22/5/2014 - We have a new plan now and the new plan is a Alice in wonderland based film and now we are ready me and our new director spent the day going through the idea and getting it ready and ironing out the creases. We are ready for the new idea with will be filmed on the Wednesday when we get back.
04/06/2014 - Today we went out to film. I use the film in loosest terms. 3 of our team arrived on set at 11 and the last 2 members and the make up artist with Elle arrived 45 minutes later. It had been raining all morning and so when it came to film we reverted to the contingency plan the contingency plan had several options including try another day, keep filming and see how it goes or find a local location to film indoors. We decided to keep filming because we had the costume and we had the artist so we went for it in the pouring rain. The shoot didn't go well ending in us deciding to pack up and go as the equipment was getting really went and the make up was smearing we had to try our best.
06/06/2014 - Today was judgement day for us and at the start of the day it defiantly looked like it would go swimmingly but at 9:15 we were told our talent has a doctors appointment at 10 and this meant we were behind schedule already. When our talent arrived and we got to the park it was 11:15, we were now 45 minutes behind schedule. Then at 12:30 the batteries and the camera died we called for help and by 1:15 we were ready to go and within 3 hours we had a music video on our hands and a good one at that. All that's left now is to edit it.
09/06/2014 - Today we see if our hard work had paid off. First we had to capture the footage which is easy enough we had all done it before so it was a good start but then in typical fashion a problem occurred a big problem. Although on that day we had a microphone plugged into the camera in all the commotion earlier in the day we hadn't checked that the sound was on automatic or a higher manual level. The should was on but it was extremely quite this seemed like a massive problem and looked like our film wouldn't be done in the 2 days allocated but in the space of 1 hour, 45 minutes and several seconds it was done our director had done it with the help of our chief designer. To me they were hero's but to everyone else they had just fixed a problem. Throughout the rest of the day there was bickering and arguing over what to put in and where but (i think) we are all at peace with what it should by 2:30 tomorrow a musical masterpiece. 22/5/2014 - We have a new plan now and the new plan is a Alice in wonderland based film and now we are ready me and our new director spent the day going through the idea and getting it ready and ironing out the creases. We are ready for the new idea with will be filmed on the Wednesday when we get back.

10/06/2014 - Today was about 'Wrap stabiling' as piece of software on Adobe Premier Pro which makes the film look twice as good if you have filmed handheld then for me now its a must it makes it look much more pro. The only problem is that a 6 second piece of film took 10 minutes to stabilise which means to put the whole 4 minute piece through would take days, days which we don't have. We are at full power as we want a rough copy by today to make changes tomorrow and to make a fully and ready edit done 1 day before deadline day.
