Audience feedback

I asked a friend what they thought of my groups video and here is there response.
They really liked the beginning this is due to the fast cuts and the beating which drawed them in straight away.

Editing continued


We gained extra footage outside of our local areas of flashing lights and people we then added this to our footage to film the time gap 



GIFS of effects used




Above is a highlighted  dissolve effect.Our audience found this effect very appealing and thought it worked well. In particular shots within the studio.







 My group has used The GIF to increase the speed by 200% and reduced the other clip by 50%. By desatuating both of them it has enabled us to show that it is a flashback in a fragmented manor. The audience gave a positive feedback,  they enjoyed the angles of the shots which are establishing and tracking.







We expanded the time lapse speed to 300%. This is a great shot as it is a period lapse shot which is interesting in contrast with different shots. our Viewers felt this was great as Morshed had to stay in one position for five minutes to make it successful.

editing continued




We had to gain extra footage in order to show more of the couple. we used filters such as sharpening effect to give our video a professional factor we are just wrapping everything up and adding more footage to our timeline. So far we are pleased with everything. It has been a long process. At several points we had to restart editing as our work kept getting lost. But with the help of the media technician we recovered it and were back on track

work in progress







In these shots we made sure to focus on the emotions of the actors so that they appeared close. we used black and white  for the flashbacks  and the video was played in slow motion in order to match the slow parts of the song and make the audience feel the emotion behind the break up.
we did more editing today it was challenging as we lost some of our work but the video is coming along well

mirror effect





With Morshed's expertise the group was able to flip the video which enabled us to merge it on final cut pro using the "flop" effect. There was  a slight problem  as the noses of the clips were touching.
to solve this they had to be pulled apart and use the crop tool to drag them further away on a separate smaller screen

Editing the video Final Cut Pro





 There my group has used final cut pro  to duplicate the same clip and by cropping it into equal parts and uniting them making it mirror. The left clip is played first, we then stopped the frame allowing the second clip to carry on where the first left off


Today we started eediting. It was a good session, we made sure everyone had a say on each effect so that we all were involved. It was a long process as we had alot of footage to get through but we have made a great start

Actors and Mis en Scene

Actors and mise en scene











we nominated morshed to play the boyfriend. This is because he is in our group therefor we could count on him to be reliable. morshed also has prior experience in acting and performing. He also had the charisma and swagger in order to give a sexual appeal to our female target audience. My job in the group was to then aid in constructing possible shots for the story boards and concepts.



















The role of the girlfriend was appointed to Monica. who is a close friend of Morshed. Many of the girls we wanted to use were unreliable so we decided to use Monica. the fact that she knew Morshed was an advantage as it meant that she would not be uncomfortable around him as they would need to get close in certain scenes. She was instructed to wear something in which she felt comfortable in as if she was not it would show on camera. the bedroom scene was shot in her home where she was most comfortable

Location 1 westfield Blury Lights










This picture was taken at the first outdoor location which was taken before the  city and blury car lights brought in during the rap. Though it came out professional due to poor lighting which was uncontrollable. However due to the picture coming out so well it could be used as a potential CD cover
