Beginning to Edit

I have finally began the editing process and it's true to say that it has, and will continue to be, very time consuming primarily when focusing on the quick transfigurations between all the characters. However, I believe the overall aesthetic is quite effective so far.

Style Inspiration & Idea Development

After roaming through the videos of YouTube, I have gained inspiration from a number of videos that embrace a psychedelic appearance.

Location 1 Footage - Both Takes & Outtakes

From watching this footage back, I have come to realise a few things:

1. My voice not only resembles that of a twelve year old boy, but there is very little distinction between my sarcastic tone and my natural tone and I think it has the potential to bewilder people.
2. When I am stressed, I don't articulate my ideas very clearly which contributes to people's bewilderment.
3. The lighting is quite overbearing in some parts and although i'm unable to film these particular scenes again, these scenes could be adjusted when I begin editing.
4. I may have been slightly overambitious with my editing strategy ideas, although if I donate a generous amount of time to the process, in addition to watching appropriate editing tutorials, the final product will mirror my desired concept.

CD Album Covers Ideas & Drafts

As my focus has been shifted to my ancillary texts, I have began to gather ideas of what my CD images my album cover will entail. I have constructed these covers via Photoshop, paying close attention to the layering filters, utilising an array of images. These include my own photographs and hand rendered sketches and collages, in addition to pictures I have collected via Google.

Order of Shots & Timings

As I only have a limited amount of time to film in, as I am renting out a venue, it seemed appropriate to note all the shots I wish to film in order, along with the noted timings of each shot. This will make a more efficient use of the time I have because it'll prevent me from having to view my storyboard animatic repeatedly on the day.

Venue Hire Update

Ensuring the date is available with my cast, I am hoping to finally initiate shooting my music video next Wednesday. This would be an ideal date as it would still allow a large amount of time to edit, bearing in mind that my concept is very demanding in terms of editing.

Venue Hire Enquiry

As time is vastly progressing, it is crucial to begin the filming process as soon as possible. Consequently, it is asked of me to instil further contact the manager of the venue I desire to shoot my video in.

Hopefully the space will be available for hire, thought contrarily it is appropriate to consider other locations to film in.
