The making of our video - 1

The first day of editing our video, we came across a problem to due with the shots we had recorded. We realised we needed more images of Connor lip syncing. However, the starting images of our video work well with the music, and we are very pleased with the clips.
Next lesson, we are going to spend our time recording Connor, and other extras lip syncing the song and dancing. This will enable us to fill our music video, and still link it to the theme of the song.

Green Screen Test Shoot and Research

We did a test footage shoot to see how well green screening was going to work in our project, we set up the camera and did dancing to small clips of our video.


Some problems we encountered were that we realised the lighting in the green screening would effect the overall product, to avoid we would either bring in a blanket to cover the main sliding door in the room (main source of light) or we would have the light evened out by using the artificial lights provided.

We also noticed a light green rim around our actors clothing, we believe this was because the green screen doesn't work well with white clothing, also the images we chose didn't quite stretch over the radius of the video screen leaving gaps on the side.
