our objectives for today

now that our footage is uploaded, we can start placing it with the sound track. there are some small concerns that this will be too time consuming, but the high resolution of the video track is reason enough to persevere with it.

we still aren't sure whether or not to use footage from the college camera's, as the difference in video quality could be noticeable when changing shots through the video. the most important thing now however, is to get the footage taken from the HD camera and link that up to the soundtrack.

that is what lucy, olly and kirk are doing whilst i write this awesome blog. :)

looking at new footage

after a couple of frustrating lessons, where lack of footage prevented us from advancing further with our project, we have now got our new footage uploaded to our computer. despite there being no sound on the video, we are hopeful that we can still link up the video track to the actions on screen.

our lesson today will be spent viewing the footage uploaded, renaming it to allow us to recognize the clips quickly, and then, time permitting, we will add this to our time line.

good times.

Rouch cut feedback

In today's lesson we watched everyone's rough cut. We realised that compared to most groups we don't have to panic about our problems because we're not the only group with them. We are pleased with our rough cut considering it's only one quarter of our footage. We have had some technical problems. We filmed using two cameras. One camera was the college's and one was our friend Kirk's. Kirk's camera doesn't play audio on the college's macs and we cannot upload it any other way. We have managed to use a PC to convert the video onto a blank DVD. For some reason the Macs don't recognise the footage on the DVD's so our teacher is having to burn the DVD onto a PC and then put it onto a hard drive and then put it onto the mac's using a firewire. A lot of hassle but but we can't lose our footage! wish us luck!

Rough Cut

alternate music video by kk productions

This video below was created by groups 36's good friend and cameraman Kirk Kemp, who in his spare time was able to have a crack at his own rough cut out of our music video, obviously we cant use the video for our own as it is not our work.

However we do feel that Kirk should get credit for it as this is all his own work, done in his own spare time. Kirk is a media diploma student who is learning fast through helping our group, and his video is a promising sign of things to come.

Shooting the video

On Thursday the 2nd and Friday the 3rd of October we filmed our music video. We ventured down to a small river in Little Shelford with overgrown trees and crisp autumn leaves on the banks.
The two days were productive and we got many different performance shots. The River had a bridge over it with three tunnels. We created some affective shots with the three band members in the tunnels. We used two camera on the shoot. One was the College's camera and the other was our friend Kirk's snazzy HD camera. We filmed the same shots with both cameras which is a great benefit for us because it means double the footage for us to play around with.

Here are some of the pictures from the video Shoot:
