Progress

All rough cut footage is filmed and we are in the process of uploading and trying to cut out all footage that is not relevant. We hope to finish editing at the end of this lesson 20/10/09 although we have a lot to get through and limited time due to not having Friday to enhance the quality of our footage.

Test Footage

Yesterday we filmed some test footage for our video. Here it is:

Contacting the band

We have successfully contacted the band through myspace and we are now waiting for a reply from them. We told them that we wanted to hear their ideas so we may add in parts of what they want to see from them

Storyboard 1

These are the photos from our storyboard. They were drawn by Chris.

Shooting Schedule

Next week we will start filming. We will start by filming a few test shots of us in the woods, and see what filters and effects we can use to give a 'drunk' feel to our video. After that we will hire out the cameras for a weekend and get the instruments in some woods. We are still unsure as to what woods we are going to film in, and where we are going to get some drums that we can put in the woods. We also need to plan what other shots we need because just performance may not hold the audiences interest. We have ideas for a narrative about a party in the woods, but we need to expand on this idea more.

Camerawork // Storyboard

Seeing as the video we are making has partying and drinking themes one of my ideas of how to shoot the narrative is with hand held camera shots to make it seem as though its from a view of someone who is partying with the band.

As the video progresses and the people get drunker and drunker i thought it might be a good idea to have different filters over the video to make it feel like you are in the head of the hand held camera person as though you are at the party with them and are experiencing what they are experiencing in their head.




also the storyboard is coming along nicely and timeline is being completed.
