Post Production

Here is a quick photo of myself and Megan McCarthy during the editing process which we have taken (and are  still taking) a lot of time over.

It is important to edit the video well as poor editing can bore the viewer and also damage the way the narrative is conveyed to them. for our video, the tempo of the song is slow so creating pace will be hard but necessary as  otherwise the video will not be interesting or emotional for the audience, it will just be boring and monotonous.







The way we will create pace is by keeping shots no longer than they need to be and also by adding movement in post production as shown in the youtube tutorial below where it is applied to an image in the same way as a video clip is manipulated.

Studio Photography

Today Megan took some studio photographs for use in the groups ancillary tasks. the studio and photo shoots are a convention of many music genres and most artists have these photos taken of them here sometime in their careers.

For the shoot Megan used a small digital camera which was synchronised to a large flash which was all shot on a white background.

Greenwich Filming

For the main part of our video the setting will be Greenwich. The reason for choosing this location is because it is not only local to use so therefore easy to access quickly and freely but, it is also a recognisable location in Britain which is conventional in some music videos that use locations that are easily recognisable as iconic settings. an example of which is shown below in Birdy - People Help the People. This is shot in locations around London.

For our main theme of loneliness and the line "Going back to the corner where I first saw you" the shots will be of Jamie on a corner in Greenwich which is a very plain and simple location that will become repetitive if shots are not filmed and edited properly. When filming we made sure that we used a variety of shots so that it would not become boring. Also During post production (which is ongoing) we have and will continue to add movement to shots to keep them interesting. 

To finish here are a couple of images from Greenwich of group members Megan and Gemma preparing to shoot with Jamie.
