Colour correction

Based on the feedback we received from our class mates, we are continuing to try and fix the colours in some scenes that are quite bright. We have tried our best to keep the colour correction natural by only changing the necessary changes, such as the exposure and other things as you can see in the picture.

Dance for me - Music Video (Feedback)

Today we received a bit of feedback on what people liked and what we could improve. Some of the constructive feedback we received includes:

- we were told we could add a title of the song name at the beginning, which is something we will try to do.
- We were also told was to continue trying to work on the colour corrections as there is still some clips that clash
- We were told to get rid of the wipe transition in the middle of the video as it is not consistent with the rest of the video, and it plays no part in making it exciting since it is a bit random.

Filming in Olympic Park - Last minute decision (Offical last filming day)

After discussing that we needed to film more content in order to continue editing our music video, we decided to go to Olympic Park today to get more footage. We managed to receive quite a bit of footage that will help us finish the music video. Since it was a cold day today, the weather was quite dull which isn't good for our video, however, as the sung was going down, we managed to receive shots of the sun directly hitting our dancers and artist, which gave off a nice effect.

Filming on Leake Street

Today we went to film on Leake Street. Luckily, we all finished college early so we maaged to get there ealry so that we would have enough time to film in the daylight before it got dark (around 4:00). We manged to get lots of different shots in different areas of Leake Street including the tunnel and areas with graffiti walls. Overall, it was a successful shoot and once we start editing we will come to the decision if we will have to edit again.

Filming at Olympic Park

Today we managed to get a lot of footage of the dancers in Olympic Park. We decided to film here after noticing how ineffective the green screen was. We managed to get lots of different shots, from low angles, to high angles, to mid shots, side shots etc. All in all, I feel that today shoot was successful, and we are now planning a day to shoot more in Leake street.

Green Screen Fail

Last time we did the green screen, there were many creases in the curtain, which is why we attempted to film more. However, as you can see in the picture, no matter how much we tried to stretch out the green curtain, it still turned out to be a complete fail, as it is nearly impossible to make the background one flat colour, and to avoid the shadow at the back. So after today, we have come to the conclusion that we are scrapping the green screen and we are going to stick to our video fully being set outside. 

Test Run In The College TV Studio

Today we had a test run in the TV Studio to see how the green screen would work as none of us have ever had to edit a green screen before. As you can see in the pictures, it didn't work out like we wanted it to as the curtain had creases in it, which created shadows in the background, resulting in the colour change failing. Next time we will try to stretch the curtains apart in order to avoid this from happening.
