Draft

Here's our very rough first 30 seconds of our music video. Only 4/5 weeks to go to finish editing but we're focusing on the beginning as it's what will interest and engage our audience. I don't think it flows the way it could yet, although I do like that our ideas are working.
We're liking the use of fonts, and hoping to keep this as a theme continued throughout. We're hoping to change the colouring of all of our shots so it keeps a vintage theme. We like the split screen at the beginning as it looks mirrored, although we're not sure if Millie's hair change will be an issue for the continuity. The chances are that we won't be able to get back up to our location to re-film this shot, so we will most probably keep it.

Editing

Feeling positive with 5 weeks to go now. Almost finished our filming with and progressing with our editing. Today we added font's to in our editing to bring a quirkiness to the video.

Although this video is at a complete different genre to our music video, the use of lights, colour and fonts is a similar concept to the quirkiness. It's speedy editing and in time the beat which is what we were going for too. Differently to this we used pale blue, pale pink and white. We're going to stick to this theme as it seems to bring an innocent feel to our video.

Final Cut Pro

Today we had final cut pro tutorial's with a lady named Angela. We learnt quite a bit and i'd say I'm partially confident using this programme for editing now. I was playing about with the opacity tool and managed to use it for incorporating for our opening shot in our music video

Really liking this video. The use of stop animation and shapes is really interesting. I wouldn't expect it for the song and the video is simply just the shapes being coloured in but its really different which makes it stand out. Lip-synching is still going on, and the colours are all quite pastel colours whilst on the man, although the woman has green colours perhaps interpreting the woman bring brightness in to his life?
We're thinking of using stop animation in our video as it's quite common in our genre and effective.
