Rough Cut

This is our rough cut. It is very rough because we have only really been concentrating on editing the beginning and ending so the middle has just been thrown in at the moment.

Re-Cap on todays filming

Our main actor playing BF had to unexpectedly go up north for personal reasons. so today's filming has now been postponed to next Wednesday, meaning that the shooting planned for next Wednesday needs to be rescheduled.

our plan now is to plan for the computer chat filming on Friday, this shooting will happen on the Tuesday lesson.

Shooting plan

This is a rough plan of what we plan to shoot and when.

BF costume

This is a picture of what Waq was wearing last shoot, and needs to wear again due to continuity.

Todays work

< This is the synced scene mentioned below.





Today I continued to edit what we filmed on Wednesday. I have synced the scene with BF watching himself and GF on a picnic blanket. All the other park shots, have now now been logged and are in folders detailing exactly what they are. These are now waiting to be placed on the time line, but will be done when the narrative is complete on the time line as these are just filling gaps between. To recap on Wednesday and give an over view; I felt that the actor Christina got to play BF was really good, I was pleased with the acting with both actors. We had unknown time restrictions, I assumed we were all free for the rest of the day, but we didn't know that Waq (BF) had to be back for last lesson. This was a problem as I had anticipated filming all car scenes, but these will be re-scheduled for next Wednesday. The speed at which we worked at, was a little to slow, but we still got a fair amount done all of good quality. points for next shoot. - Make sure everyone is clear on the starting time, so we can start promptly. - When on location, have a quick scout for where to shoot, and prep the actors whilst the tech is being prepped. - Make sure we are equipped for weather problems. IE. umbrella's. Overall I am pleased with the progress, and am looking forward to the next shoot and hope to achieve a lot on the next shoot.



This first picture is an example of the Park footage. The second picture is the finished logging of all the good clips from the park shoot.

Analyses of music video

Media analyse of music video

The music video I have chosen to analyse is ‘Almost Lover’ by ‘a fine Frenzy’.

My reason for picking this music video is because the song is of a lost love, a love that could have been but never was, this is similar to the song we have chosen to make a music video on, we have interpreted our song as a love song, a song about memories of a better time in the relationship.

The genre of the song is a love song. The video is typical of its genre. It shows to people, male and female, and us as the audience get to see their relationship from a third person, often first person due to the way it is shot.

Its narrative is split; we have what is perceived as the present, where the female is standing in a house singing. We then have the past where we see the relationship.
Some of the past shots are in first person where the male has recorded the girl himself.

The visuals do not amplify what the lyrics say here. It takes the overall meaning and feel from the words and represents them in a similar mode in mind. There is very little literal visual representation of the words here.

The artist is in above 90% of the time in this video, there is very little focus on the male.

There is no obvious intertextuality. It is typical of a love story. It is peacefully shot, romantic. It doesn’t have explosions or guns, because that is not typical of it’s genre. So it could be said that it is intertextualising romance films in the way it is shot and what is in the frame.
