Film opening vs Music video

Looking back at our film opening in contrast to our Prelim (constructing a music video) I noticed that they are very different to each other. With our film opening we did not have to stick to certain guidelines, we had to come up with a new fresh idea and just throw in different camera angles and then edit it all together, it was still quite difficult because we were all new to editing and trying to get the hang of how to film but not that our skills have progressed we are ow finding it easier to edit, film act. Constructing a music video is very different you have to pay much closer attention to detail and timing otherwise it throws everything else off! whilst editing the prelim we inserted the song we used first (Kate Nash - Foundations) so that we could sync the music with the action (lip-syncing) which worked out perfectly, however the next day when we had to add in extra footage we found that if you change a frame by 0.1 sec it shifts all the other frames and that eventually meant that the shots did not match with the music so we had to go and re-time all of the shot until they were perfectly in time with the music again! It was so tricky and has really prepared me of what is to come when editing my finial music video.

Prelim

For our prelim we decided to take Kate Nash's Foundations music video. We chose this as a group because we knew it would challenge our editing skills as it is very fast paced. Whilst filming we noticed that we needed to keep an eye out for how many different shots there were. We found this difficult because it was so fast paced we kept missing some shots out which then left us having to go and re-film certain scenes. We also only filmed in two different locations my house and our school library. Over the course of three days it only took us an hour or so each day to film. When we finally collected all the footage but then found it difficult to edit. Whilst editing you pay closer attention to detail and we realised that we forgot to film a shot, so we had to do that quickly, but then slot it in the next day. The only problem we found with this was when adding a few more seconds into the movie, its shifts all of the other shots so then we realised the shots were not in sync with the music! It was very tricky and we all had to be very precise when it came down to the timing of each shot! Eventually we did it all and we all found it very fun making our prelim.
