Editing

The editing process is on-going, and has involved two very important aspects.


1. Syncing footage

All of the footage from the shoot day, has had to have been dubbed to the song playback, before we can, before we can even begin to edit...

This has to be done in order for us to ensure the lip sync is good, if its out, we have to re-adjust all of the footage, causing a huge set back

2. Cutting to the beat

Cutting footage to the beat, or too certain beats in the song, keeps a solid rhythm. This way audience don't become distracted by a bad tempo. To make the prefect cut, we have to scrub thorough the audio frame by frame to the top of the beat, and then cut, just before or just after, and something sounds off.

Production (shoot day)

The Shoot day lasted for the best 

part 8 and 1/2 Hours between 

08:00 to 16:30.

Some of the Morning was spend doing makeup for the dancers and our singer. The makeup creates a more interesting image on screen...

Supervised by Sasha (Grey beanie), and India, our group member

(8:00am to 9:30am)




Whilst that was happening, 
Grace and Myself worked with 
the set designers to put together
our first set up, Forest. It involved attaching huge pieces of cloth to a rail hanging above the studio. We then set up the projectors and the shoot began.

(8:20am to 10:00am)

The rest of the day was spent either shooting, or changing set. The time consuming parts, where dealing with the projectors and the actors, sometimes neither could be seen very well, so we had to bring in lights or adjust the camera positions...

(10:00am to 04:30pm)
