RE-FILMING DATE

WE ARE RE-FILMING SOME OF OUR SHOTS ON TUESDAY THE 26TH NOVEMBER AT THE YELLOW BEAN STUDIOS AGAIN. 

Feedback and Improvements for Final music video

Below are the comments and feedback made by Mr Smith, my teacher.

I have taken onboard this feedback and constructed a storyboard (excuse my horrendous drawing) which contains each shots that will be re-filmed in order to improve the grade of our music video when we complete the final version next friday.

I have taken on board the main comment of playing the instruments at the right time (Note that the irrelevant drumming clips were only used as fillers in the draft). I have matched up each instrument to each part in the song and have drawn and described each shot to match the song and to improve continuity. I will also be re-editing my half of the video in order to improve the slight framing issues. And finally the slight lighting issues can be corrected post-filming whilst we are editing by altering the brightness and saturation of the footage.

*change drum to drum pad. (re-film shots)

MUSIC VIDEO DRAFT FEEDBACK

Feedback (2) - Matt De Jong (Professional Creative Designer)

Matt Dejong is a professional creative designer who specialises in record sleeves, digipaks and album/tour posters for a huge range of large scale bands.

He can be found over on http://godejong.tumblr.com.

I have decided to contact Matt in regard to feedback on my draft Digipak and Poster. As good as Mr Smith's feedback is, I feel a few pointers from a professional who's products I either own or admire is a lot more valid. 

Matt currently lives in New York after moving from London this meant communication me be more difficulty in school hours. I have been following Matt on my personal twitter for a good few years now so I decided contacting him via that means of technology was best. He quickly replied to my request and gave me his email to speak further on the matter.

Filming Day - Images

Filming Day - (30/10/13)

Our chosen venue as mentioned in previous posts by Alex is the 'Yellow Bean Studios'. We have had this venue secured for over a week, but we had not securely pencilled in a date and time until Monday. We had an advantage when it came to organising hours needed as Alex had already been involved in production for another groups video (this information can be viewed at the 'experience working on a music video post dated (9/1013). After a discussion we decided that a minimum of five hours would be necessary as the filming phase is a surprisingly longer than you would expect. We also came to the conclusion that a few added hours would be vital. These additional hours would allow arriving late to not hugely effect production, allow make up and costume to be thorough whilst also giving actors/band members breaks. Following the summary of our discussion we decided to get hold of our contact (Jono) who we have been sharing phone conversations with, and secure the hours necessary. We were able to secure a 9 to 5 slot for Wednesday (30/10/13).

The Studio Address is as follows ;

376 Western Road

Leicester, UK

LE3 OED

Again 'as mentioned by Alex in a previous post' we have been given access to a 26X15 ft studio with a white curved infinity wall studio area, a hi-glide, dressing room, seating area, WI-FI, kitchen, toilet and lighting. Our preproduction phase was completed before the date and times were confirmed. We completed an equipment list, storyboard and animatic. All of these making filming a lot easier.
