Construction - Progress Report

Week ending  11th Nov:
I was able to get hold of a table showing when everyone was free, kindly given to me by my classmate Jake, who is using similar actors in his video. I then used that to plan out some days of filming.
I managed to create some of the props for my music video, including these exam papers;

Week ending 18th Nov:
Shot some clips that didn't require actors, such as zooming in on a clock to and a shot of the Sixth Form's exterior. I also set up Final Cut Pro on the Mac and added my chosen song to the audio track.

Week ending 25th Nov:
Filmed some shots in the classroom, including lip-syncing of the first verse and chorus by the lead singer as well as some shots like sitting down and looking bored sat at the desk. However, technical issues caused some problems getting the footage onto the computer.

Week Ending 2nd December:
Fixed the problem that was preventing the footage going onto the Mac and began to edit the parts I had filmed, adding them into the right places and cropping them while leaving space for the next shots I need to film.

Week Ending 9th December:
With all the band actors together, I filmed almost all of the narrative shots that I needed for the second and third verses of the song. This included some high angle shots in the exam situation and the band writing their answers. One problem was that the hall I intended to shoot the exam parts in was busy, so in the end I opted to use the same classroom but space the band out with no extras to make it look more sparse and like an exam.
