Filming; Instruments

In this session we as a group decided to film some shots of the band playing instruments, we decided to do this as it was a common trait that we had seen in Ska 2tone artists work, and therefore we felt it was an important part that needed to be included in our music video. This included some extreme close ups shots of Stacey pressing buttons on the saxophone and chords being played on a bass guitar.

We also filmed some long shots so that we could have Stacey playing both the guitar and saxophone at the same time. This would be more difficult to edit using Final Cut as we would have to crop some of the shot.

I felt this schedule was successful as we got a lot of effective shots that can be used in the video as cut a ways and the close up of the saxophone can be shown on the actually part where the saxophone is heard.

Uploading

We spent this lesson uploading our re-shoot onto our music video, this was because we needed this footage so that we could continue editing. As we had already done a lot of our video already when we realised we needed to re-shoot.

However I took this time to begin experimenting on Final Cut as I have never used it before, so I started by experimenting on a clip that we weren't going to use and worked on the using the colour corrector and making it change throughout the clip. After doing this we decided that we would use this idea in the music video.
