Changes!

Many changes have had to been made throughout filming and editing our video for many reasons. We decided to change a few original ideas, for example we had the original idea to have the tittle as ‘PRINCESS EZ’ to add the EZ in with spray paint effect, however as we have a target audience of 15- 25, but as a group we didn’t think that this slang was appropriate as at the age of the target audience because at this age people have usually got over the stage of using slang writing and talking in slang and use real proper English, we also though that if we did this it would be comical and a way to mock teenagers, which wasn’t our intentions.

editing!

All of my group and I have taken part in editing our video, we all took part, yet Eva did most of the editing of clips while I used garage band to create soundtracks, that have had to be edited throughout due to timing and also I’ve had to add on to my sound tracks due to the length of our videos changing.

I didn’t enjoying editing as I have found it hard to use the apple macs throughout the course, due to my lack of knowledge I believe if we had had training before creating our video it would have made a big difference, as there is only one teacher helping several different groups use the computers so we’ve spent a lot of time waiting for a teacher to help us, and a lot of the time the teacher didn’t know how to work the macs. Yet Eva managed to improve her skills on the apple macs throughout so we’ve always used each member and their strengths to make our video the best it can be.

Uploading!

As we have filmed most of our filming on our mobiles as we want the videos to have a clear steady cam effect, we struggled when trying to convert our footage onto the apple macs as the computer wouldn’t pick up anything we plugged in, so we had no other choice but to email all our videos over to the computer, which proved to be very time consuming. As all the videos have been filmed in different settings they all have different lighting, characters and different mise-en-scene, we hope that as we edit and cut all these videos together it will be clear that we wanted out videos to be like this and we haven’t just viewed using low quality cameras, with poor shots but we wanted it to be as poor quality as possible, as we believed this would make it more realistic and different, not like your usual film opening.

Uploading and editing!

Today Eva and I spent our double period, email and uploading all the various videos we have filmed throughout the last week, we have all filmed at my house, and also at Eva's too, we filmed our friends pretending to be drunk and drinking alcohol, we have also filmed a few party's that we have been too and we've been deciding into what order we are going to place our party scenes, and cutting them in the correct places.

Music!

My group and I had planned to used to M.I.A song paper planes and Tempa T next hype but as we now know we can't use these sound tracks due to copy write issues so as a group we have been using Garage band too create our own track to play, similar to these two tracks.

We liked the sound track 'Next Hype' by Tempa T as it was a very fast, loud song and fitted in very well with the image we wanted to create with the party scene, the lyrics talk of a house being trashed which was we wanted to create a stereotypical out of control house party with everything being destroyed.

As a group we then decided that we wanted Paper planes by M.I.A playing as it was very different song, very mellow and calm, and we wanted to skip from a really dark fast scene, to the next morning, a very quiet, calm scene to create a very different picture which could possibly confuse the audience, making them want to watch on to find out what has happened and the relevance it is going to have on the rest of the film.

These are also two popular songs that will be well known particularly within our target audience, they are both very catchy.

The music we have all made together as a group on garage band has been inspired by both these songs, the song playing throughout the party scene is very upbeat, whereas the song being played when the characters wake up is very calm and soft.

Story board!

The storyboard animation above is for our film PrincessEZ. This is a very basic story board outlining the opening  of our opening. Unfortunately there are a few spelling errors which we only realised when we finished editing, also the length of time we would like the music to play for isn't shown.We have decided to also experiment with footage of parties to decide how we want that scene to look, we want to use steady cam during as it will create the effect and suits the coming of age genre.
