Constructing of the Production

As a group we had many obstacles that we had to overcome from the start. We didn't always plan sufficiently enough which caused setbacks, for example we planned to film in a complex which we had planned intensively for and had spent hours upon hours debating the camera shots and what scene would be shot where and at what time, all these numerous plans were scrapped due to security reasons and we was not allowed to film there. This left us with a tough decision to make regarding whether we change the storyline to accommodate another location or we find another suitable location with the same or slightly adjusted storyline.

Luckily for us we found another location shortly after which allowed us to use the storyline and bring in some ideas that we previously scrapped due to the restrictions the location placed upon us. We used variety of shots from long shots to pans to hight angle shots. We had some difficulties at times do to the time we was filming at which was late at night so it was hard to get volunteers to help us with the filming so we had to make sure each shot went smoothly as we had limited time and wouldn't have the time to rewind each take to see how it went. Several times during filming we left the camera in positions to film us if we was all involved in the scene, this was risky as we would not know the quality of the footage but it paid of as the final product was to a high quality.

Our editing skills at first wasn't to a good standard as we had only just got the mac but as the project ticked along we become more competent at using it and by the end was able to efficiently use the programme to create desired effects such as slow motion, reverse speed and flashes. The editing took more time the filming, we done it as a group and individually when we had free periods. We added fades, brightened scenes and played two clips at the same time to show how diverse we are in our editing skills and to make the music video more interesting.
