CONSTRUCTION: Fourth editing session

This session was another long editing process because there were several empty gaps to fill. Although after I had finished editing all the gaps were filled, it's was just a case of perfecting it and any additional effects will be added later on in the upcoming week. The main thing I focused on today was the mirror scene. This part features Katy Perry writing her lyrics on a mirror with lipstick. To edit this scene I increased the speed of the clip so it was roughly at the same speed of the actual music. Doing this was very straight forward and easy. Overall the editing went very well. The most important thing we wanted to get done was fill the gaps and this was achieved making it a very successful session.

CONSTRUCTION -Fourth day of filming

Today we filmed the rest of what needed to be filmed, as in editing there was a lot of gaps. We had to film scenes that could fill in these gaps, but ensuring they linked in with the lyrics and the whole concept of the music video. Everything seemed to go well, apart from when we were filming a scene in a mirror; we kept getting the camera in the mirror, but we were able to overcome this by doing it from a different angle. There were no serious issues when filming, probably because all the scenes we were filming were all straight forward and nothing too complex. If we are able to fill in all the gaps when editing then we will not need to film anymore and our music video will be done.

CONSTRUCTION -Email to Record Label - Permission to create music video.

Due to copyright laws, we have to ask our artist's record label for permission to create the music video. Therefore, I contacted Katy Perry's record label (EMI) to request permission stating that the video was for educational purposes only.

Afterwards, I received an email from the licensing assistant for EMI who agreed to our group using the song in our music video for educational purposes only.

At this point there were many scenes to edit because in the previous filming session we managed to film a substantial amount for our music video. Having filmed a high angle shot I found this difficult to edit because the footage was quite shaky. However I overcame this problem by applying a slow motion affect to the clip. By doing this, it took the attention away from the shaking and looked much better. I also used the slow motion because it's interesting and adds emphasis to a clip in the sense that it makes the audience pay more attention to what's going on. Our last filming session included continuity as well. This made the editing process much longer than usual because it was important to get the continuity right and on point. Regardless of the time it took I got it done and it was very easy to do. Slow motion was also added to this aspect of the video as well.

CONSTRUCTION - Third day of filming

Today we filmed everything else that was left to do. We did it step by step by looking at the storyboard and the lyrics, to ensure the scenes linked with the lyrics. We were able to get everything done, although we did encounter a problem where we wanted to do a high angle shot where it panned all around us, but half of Lauren's body kept appearing in the shot, but we managed to overcome it by her kneeling down while panning it around us. Although we did have to do it a couple of times because sometimes the shot was quite shaky. What we found quite easy was the party scenes as they were quite straight forward to film. All that is left to do is the editing and from there we will be able to see if we need to do any more filming.
