Production Log 7
During this week of media studies, me and my group partner dedicated time to complete our music video. we had until Wednesday to fully complete editing our music video, to make sure this was fully completed we stayed back all days after school till Wednesday night and we finished our music video in time for the deadline. The week went on quite well as we stuck to editing our video to the fullest of our ability. it went well because the video had already been put in order as the draft version was due the previous week. This week we were adding effects in such as 'fades' and we put in the shots that we filmed in the previous weekend into the gaps that we had in the timeline. We also re-watched the video a few times to see if the lip syncing was off at any point and when it was, we worked on sorting it out and got that done. After that all happened the video was fully completed and this got us to the next lesson which was on Thursday. The lesson on Thursday was a lesson on the new unit that we will be working on throughout the next few weeks and we spent the lesson learning about what it is about and what is required from us to get the best possible grade. the next lesson was on Friday and we had to do many tasks on this day as we had to upload our music video on to You Tube and we had to check the coursework grid and see if we were missing any coursework and if so, we had to get the done and put them on the blogger and we have till next Thursday to make sure that is fully complete. As the week went on, we didn't come into contact with any problems that would come in the way of stopping our process of editing.

During this week of media studies, me and my partner spent most of the lessons editing out music video as we have still got till next thursday to finish out music video completely. We edited the video as much as we could and we found out on monday that the lesson on thursday will be dedicated to the whole class going around and watching each others music videos. By doing this is it did not mean that it would be our fully complete music video that the whole class would be watching however it was only supposed to be a draft version so that the teacher could see the progress in our work. The class had to watch each others pieces and give feedback as groups onto a sheet that was left on each computer, we were told that we should give critical feedback to others and our own so that everyone can understand where they went wrong and what they could improve on. After thursdays lesson our next lesson was on friday 7 and 8, in this lesson we had Mr Philipson come to each group individually and watch our draft videos and tell us what we could have improved on. For our piece there was some certain areas which needed improvements such as our intro as it was too long and we also needed to fill in the gaps between the shots as there were many gaps. Me and my partner dedicated the weekend to refilm our intro and make a whole lot of close ups to fill in the gaps which were ruining the video. The week went on without any problems as it went quite smoothly. The next week will result in editing a lot as we will be staying back everyday after school to edit as the editing deadline is on thursday.

During this week of Media Studies, the class started to edit our music videos properly and by this I mean, adding all of the shots and music onto the Imacs. To do this we had to refer to the last week as we were learning about how to use the new program Final Cut Express and we had to use the logic that we learnt from the previous week and put it into performance this week as we had to start editing our videos. It was relatively hard at first to get used to however I got the hang of it. To start the editing process we had to import all of our footage on to the program, then the next process we chose to fulfill was to put all of the footage that we had in order and this made the process of editing much easier as whilst we're are editing shots we won't need to keep adding different scenes in order as we have already done that at first. The next thing me and my group partner did was we started cutting some of the shots to the appropriate lengths as they should be in tact with the shooting script. That is mostly what we got up to as the week went by, we didn't really come in contact with any problems throughout the week and the next week will result in editing again and creating a draft edit to show the class.

During this week of media studies, the class had to carry on finishing their music video and me and my group partner finished our music video. The week went on with us dedicating a few days to finishing the video so it could be done before the deadline. Whilst we were taking part in media lessons at school, we were asking to start editing the shots that we had done so far, this was a good aspect because we got a hint of how the next two weeks of media lessons will be as they will all be dedicated to editing the music video to make it look good and professional. As we were going to start editing we found out by our teachers that we will no longer be using the programme called Imovie to edit filmed scenes anymore and that we wil start using a newer application called Final Cut Express on the Imac's. This was a surprise to me as I was pretty used to using the Imovie programme and this newer programme was quite hard to get used to and I am still not yet fully used to it as I have only used it for one lesson however as time goes by I will hopefully get the hang of the programme as I did with Imovie. As the week went by me and my group partner finished shooting our music video after much hard work. We did receive some problems once again as the week progressed as there were still a few people that dropped out on a few occasions however we still managed to complete it in time for the deadline. The following week will result in us editing the work that we have fulfilled and this will go on for roughly two weeks.
