Screen Shots.
The Screen Shot above is of our finished piece on the time line and the editing software we used to piece the clips together.I am now going to upload photographs of shots that we have in our film.
The shot above is a split screen shot that we have used in our piece. This is so that our performer Vicky is on the same screen as our actress Liz. Vicky sings the lyrics while Liz sits and looks depressed.
This shot is of our actress Liz stood in the middle of market street. We filmed her stood still for 5 minutes and then sped up the footage so that she was still and everyone else was moving quickly around her.
The above shots are shots we have put on for less than a second to create the effect of the blocks growing upwards and then the final shot is a shot of Vicky kicking them down.
We set up our own studio with a camera on a tripod, a stool, lighting and green screen. These shots are to show the actress to be a model/celebrity.
The above image is a location shot of a derelict building that we have used for some shots in our music video.
This shot is a shadow, silhouette of our performer Vicky on a roof top.
Finally this shot is of our performer Vicky on a roof top which is where the majority of the performance shots were filmed.

Final Update of our Music Video
We have made the finishing touches to our music video, and it is now complete. There were a few problems which we were facing in the last few stages of editing, such as lip syncing. This was a problem, as the song that we originally used so that it was easier for vicky our performer to sing along to was shorter, than the CD version we used for our official video. So while editing we had to slow down/ speed up some of our footage so that it was in sync with the song. We also found that we had small spaces in our timeline, which we filled with some footage that we had left over. This was useful, as the fast cuts tied in well with the song. We also added a photo shoot aspect to our video, as we were going with the theme of Liz, our other actress being a celebrity. so we created our own photoshoot, with green screening and Stand-alone lighting. This added a variation of shot styles as we used a mix of close-ups, mid shots and slow zooms.

Update on Editing
We have now fully finished all of the filming and are now completing the editing process. We expect to have all of the editing done by Friday 27th. Getting to this point has been difficult due to delays in filming, more specifically the weather and time to film. On Thursday 19th November, we decided to use the green screen to create a final scene to add into the video at last minute. I have captured this footage and think that it works very well with the concept of the video. Over these next few days the video will become completed and Images of outfits and locations will be displayed on the Blog.

Update on editing/filming
In the past few weeks the group have been busy filming and editing the footage to make sure we have a good finished piece. In this process we have realised that music videos need a lot more footage and variation than normal short films do and that getting the timing correct on the right beat can be quite a challenge.
We have encountered a few problems whilst filming such as the weather; wind, rain, fog etc... and also our performers hair colour caused a problem. Vicky had blue hair to begin with but as the weeks past her hair faded and turned to a green/blue. She couldn't get hold of the hair dye that she had used therefore we had to go out and film all the blue hair shots again with vickys new hair colour - purple.
We are now in the process of constant editing and making sure the miming fits with the song. We encountered problems whilst trying to do a split screen but we are hoping that putting a thick line through the clip will make this effect achievable.
I am going to post the shot list soon when we have edited it efficiently.
