Conformation

My actors have all confirmed that they are free on Saturday 7th February to re-film sections of my video. Until then, I will begin to work on my other tasks.

This is my video so far:

Beginning of Video

This is the beginning of my Music Video. This video shows the test that I have put on my first few clips. I did this to present the name of the song as this is a promo video. The text is not how I would like it to look as I think it should be larger. However, on iMovie this is the best text that I can use. I will change this on a different programme in the later stages of my editing.

Editing clips

Whilst using iMovie more and more, I have realised that there are a number of things that I can do to brighten up my darker videos. I can use the brightening tool and also add effects to the videos to make them brighter and sharper. This may mean that I do not have to re-film these outdoor sections as I had planned to but I will be re-filming some of the indoor shots with my main-actress anyway. Whilst I have my actress, I may re-film some of the outdoor shots to compare them with the shots I already have, however, this section of filming depends heavily on the weather which means I may have to wait for a few weeks. For now, I will continue to edit my video together using the darker shots which can then be replaced later on.

This first picture is an example of my darkest shot. The second picture shows how I have brightened it and made it sharper, allowing my actress to be seen more clearly. I have had to make this clip black and white as the camera did not capture any other colours because of the dull weather. I actually think this black and white looks very interesting in contrast to the brightness of some of the other clips, eg;

Re-Film

After trying to edit together the second part of my video, I have realised that i do not have enough acceptable film to use. I would rather re-film some parts to ensure they are up to standard with the first half of my video. I cannot re-film this weekend because one of my actors is in work, but I have asked all of them to help on Sunday 8th February. This should be my last session of filming and I should then be able to put together my whole video. For now, I will use templates in place of my real film so that I can carry on editing together the shots that I do have. I will then be able to replace these templates with my film.

Song

When editing further into my video I realised that the song that I downloaded from iTunes was different to the youtube version of the song that I used when filming. This iTunes version was longer and included sections of music that I did not know were there, explaining the 11 second gap that none of my footage fit to. I have now managed to get the youtube version which fits my filming a lot better!
