New Locations for New Filming

Here are map and satellite images of the area we will be refilming parts of our music video. The green markers tell you where abouts they will actually filmed.
Here is the map view of the whole area our filming will cover

And here is the arial satellite of the whole area.

First feedback

When we showed what we had done with our video so far, we were told to write down the feedback we got on what was good about our video and what we could do to improve it.
Good feedback:


  • Used alot of shot variety
  • It was very creative
  • The editing was good especially the part at the end where the piano and drums overlap with the fire
  • The singing of the song was in time with the actual song
Feedback how we can make it better:

  • We have to re-film the whole of the Linclon scene at night so we could get good lighting from the streetlights and it would compare to the other two scenes which were filmed in a dark hall and a night time
  • We have to get another actor as the one we had before went too other-the-top with his acting and he was to tall for our cameraman to film any good shots
  • Have the band members walk around with the singer and actor
  • Give a more clear view that the singer and band members can't be seen
After receiving our feedback, we knew that we had to redo alot of the filming so we decided to go and refilm the whole of the Lincoln scene at night on the 17/10/2012 so we can get the filming done and maybe start to edit it before half-term.

Week one of editing

Here is the first editing. We had added shots we have filmed and added them into the cut. We also added the song itself, we then synchronised the visuals with the sound to make sure it is in cue.
In this screenshot we am adjusting the curves (brightness and contrast) in all the dark scenes to create a deeper red and feel, it also stopped noise disturbance. We then added the same settings to all dark scenes.

Here we have added the scene where there is no music. These are quicker shots than the rest of the music, this is because the songs tempo is slow.
Here we show all the scene before the music begins.
Here we have begun to add more filming going into the song. Throughout we are thinking of match on action.


So far using Sony Vagas has been relatively easy, this meant in the first week of editing a lot has been done.
