A2 Evaluation

'She's Always A Woman To Me' - Finished Editing:

I finished my editing successfully today after uploading the new footage I had filmed on the weekend. I also uploaded the end product to my blog. I attempted in total to challenge conventions of music videos throughout my video and further feel that this is illustrated successfully in my music video. All in all, the editing process was a long task, however, gave me a vast insight into the possibilities available in the sense of what different aspects of a video you can alter. It has been a telling experience for me and in turn I have found that I can appreciate other videos far more as I have an insight into how grueling the process can be.

'She's Always A Woman To Me' Continued:

I was successfully able to film this weekend rather than last to get my final shots for my music video. For due to unfortunate events, my female actor was unable to come to the second filming. Subsequently, I had to film the past weekend. I successfully filmed some further shots of the 'couple' together in different clothing than last time to personify the idea of being together at different times.

This has enabled me to gather all the shots I needed and now I have to edit them and simply place them into the slots I have purposely left for these particular shots. After which I will finish the final touch ups of editing to my music video and it should be done.

'She's Always A Woman To Me' Video so far.. :

My music video is coming along very well. I had taken some good footage and once placed into Final Cut was able to start the editing process. At first i found somewhat difficulty in getting to grips with the various aspects of how to use Final Cut Pro. However, as time went on and I did more and more editing it became a lot easier.

I now believe that I have grasped the programme well and have experimented with the very impressive sheer volume of effects and editing tools available. So far in my video i have successfully filmed and edited three-quarters of it. This is due to me unfortunately needing to film a little more footage of the couple in other occasions to really give the video a better representation of generic music video conventions. The footage should be filmed this weekend as I have organised to do so with my two actors.

Shooting Progress:

I successfully filmed all the shots I had planned to do on my storyboard on the weekend in sync with my shooting schedule. We all met on time at my first location to begin shooting and were relatively lucky with the weather as it was reasonably sunny which helped my overall persona of my video. We followed the schedule throughout the day precisely and this I found helped me keep to good time and get all the shots I needed.
