Update: No Filming for Thursday

Hey Guys!

Due to bad weather me and Dan were not able to film on Thursday, which means we are going to have to get the big chunk done on Friday. Although this seems fine as Friday is the day when we have more time to film because we will start earlier plus the weather is supposed to be better.

Fingers crossed!

Bye for now.

Update: Cardboard Chaos

Hey Guys!

So today I, with some help, made the car door, signs and traffic light mask from the collection of cardboard I've been accompanying over these past few weeks.

So now we are ready to start filming the next part of the music video tomorrow! Although we aren't planning to get a whole lot filmed as we are having to rely on natural light for this part outside and it'll get dark quick. So, we are also filming on Friday at an earlier start as we have got permission to film in the afternoon rather than go to our media lesson.

So that's that. I will most likely do another update on Friday saying about how filing went and soon after that the next 'Behind the Scene' episode will be released.

Bye for now!

Behind The Scenes - 1

Hey Guys


Here's the first instalment in our 'behind the scenes' series.


Enjoy.

Creating the Cine-scope Look

Hey Guys

As I mentioned, me and Dan are experimenting with adding a cine-scope look to our music video. If you are not sure what that means basically its the two black bars added in movies (and also music videos) that give it a professional, cinema make-over.

This is the video that we used to learn how to apply this in Premier Pro:

Filming - Day 1

Hey Guys

So on Saturday morning me and Dan started our filming for our music video. We used the kitchen at Dan's grandparents church to film the chef character section at the beginning as our location; a place where we have previously used for a preliminary task, hence the absence of location shots. However, we are working on a 'behind the scenes' series, using the camcorder, to show what is going on as well as the filming. The first episode will contain brief location shots and will be released shortly.

Anyway, at the moment we are compiling our footage together in Adobe CC Premier Pro, experimenting with post-production features like filters as well as adding a cine-scope feel.

Also we are currently arranging when our next filming session will be.

So as always, bye for now.

Update: Getting Ready For Filming

Hey Guys

So me and Dan have got the equipment sorted; a DSLR, a camcorder, a green scree, a tripod, a gorilla pod, a 35mm lens and a light. As well as this with have an extra battery and a charger for emergence.

Also, we have some lab coats and the chef's hat sorted and at this moment need to sort out our bits of ingredients.

So, we start filming tomorrow!

Bye for now.
