Production Update
Today we had an Adobe Premier talk by one of the editing technician whereby he taught us vaulable skills and tools to use which can contribute to making the music video such as making a clip black and white and repairing the resoultion on video imagery. I found this very helpful and it will contribute to make the music video quite creative as well as conforming to conventions of an r'n'b music video.

Production Update
During this week and in the near future, our group would be concentrating on editing the music video so that the final product would be done by the deadline set. We have delegated each other with different sections of the footage filmed to create the music video and do it more effectively. For instance, im doing the parts of the opening scene and location shots which I am to finish next week to move onto editing other sections.

Production Update
What was said in the video:
Today is the filming deadline and we only had little bits to film so my female performer and I went down to Westminster to film the last part of the opening scene where she walks out of her apartment complex. As while I was there I filmed a bit more location shots so when it comes to editing we have lots to choose from. We encountered lots of problems filming today mainly regarding the weather. It was raining very heavily today, so we had to film when the rain wasn’t so heavy and where it was sheltered to prevent the camera from getting wet. Another then that we got everything we needed and it’s going make editing that bit easier.

Assessing Practical Work
In order to improve our own practical work, as a class we watched an example of a level 4 music video then evaluated the music video mentioning what works well and what can be improved.
We watched a music video a previous group did for the A2 project which was called Eman and Roshane- Thump. We collectively identified that the things that worked well in the music video was that they used many different transitional techniques were used like fades not just straight cuts this in effect makes the editing seamless. Futhermore, the use of colour in the video had connotations and conveyed messages to the viewer. Parts of the video was in colour whilst other parts where in black and white which signifies the past and present. In order to improve this music video they could make sure that they do not chop heads and feet in the shots and make sure the camera does not shake.
After this we peer assessed our own production work and we noticed that the elements of our music video that is working well is that we had good editing techniques and the footage we had was not shaky. An aim we identified is that we need to use a variety of shots in order to make our music video more visually insteresting.

Production Update
Today, we filmed our party/club scene. In order to do so we booked the drama room after school for use. We made the party/club scene look authentic through different mise-en-scene that we included. We used strobe lights and dark lighting to make it look realistic. As a group we worked together to pull of this scene, mainly by one person controlling the lights, one controlling the sound and one controlling the camera. In the following days we are aiming to get all the filming done. Tomorrow we plan to the tricast shots and on Friday we plan to film the last scene in South Bank and Westminister.
