Editing First Shots

After filming the first few shots for our music video, we connected the camera to the computer to start editing when we realized something wasn't right. We looked through each clip that had been filmed and it started to become clear that they were all just of us talking about what position they should be in and how the main character should act/look which made me think that I had stopped recording when the real scenes were taking place and recorded the "deleted scenes" of us as a group getting ready to film.

This is a mistake that couldn't be helped because if I had realized while filming I could of made sure I picked up on it but because I was too busy helping the characters with the step by step movement so it linked back to the song I just pressed the button and moved the camera around to change the angle of view and expected it to be recording however it didn't.

However it did record the first 3 shots that we needed for the beginning of the video, but the element of blood wasn't used so we decided to just re film all of it when we return after the half term holidays, this has made me learn from my mistakes and make sure next time I take more care of looking at the camera when capturing shots to make sure its recording.

We know how we are filming the rest of the video now too and what locations we are using so it will be very easy for us when we go back to college to start from scratch but because our characters are so confident we will get the shots immediately. The main characters costumes are all ready to just be brought in when we come back, we already created the male characters costume before we broke up so he can just re wear it and as for the dancers Emily is going to create their blood covered outfits while she is away on holiday so they are all ready when we come back. This set back has made us more organised and focused on the end product.
