Feedback from the rough cut viewing
This video shows feedback from our rough cut viewing to the class. We are going to take note of what was said and try and implement the improvements ready for our final cut.
One main thing we have decided on from the feedback is to remove the scenes where things are going backwards.
The feedback helped us greatly by recieving other peoples views/opinions on our video, so we could continue to tweak and improve it to make a polished final product.

Lyrics to Chosen Track
There was a time when our limit was the sky we were living in our lives .......... and we thrived but it turned out i was not willing to slide i played the villain when you cried tears spilling from your eyes now why i had you feeling that inside and feeling what i find left conclealing it with lies the feeling i find is feeling the pride cause the don't give the right for me to whinge and whine cause you're with a guy
But i still got your picture on my windowsill i still hear your voice in the night when I'm sitting still things need to get better you never think it will fed up left cut tell me this isn't real
Cause i still got your picture on my windowsill i still hear your voice in the night when I'm sitting still things need to get better you never think it will fed up left cut tell me this isn't real
Tell me this isn't real Tell me this isn't real Tell me this isn't real.. (echos)
Back in the day when i met and asked your name text your number and you came for a drink call it a date we sat down had a chat and it was great in the quiet little place i grew accustomed to your face then we grew closer in the way awkward silence never came life was our own little game we got caught in up in the play never thought about the pain and i sought've am to blame maybe i ought to ran away
But i still got your picture on my windowsill i still hear your voice in the night when I'm sitting still things need to get better you never think it will fed up left cut tell me this isn't real
Cause i still got your picture on my windowsill i still hear your voice in the night when I'm sitting still things need to get better you never think it will fed up left cut tell me this isn't real
Tell me this isn't real Tell me this isn't real Tell me this isn't real (echos)
winter mornings don't wanna get outta bed water runs down the glass the sky is grey the land is wet the sea is wild the breeze is fresh the air is cold the feelings old the people are depressed the windows condensation is ..... the offices people work in to the houses the people living in the buses and classrooms covered in scribbling mirrors in bathrooms steamed up (mist riddled in?) movement and individuality finger-tips slip on the glass a playful grasp on reality part of the daily loosening grip on sanity portraying crazy mood swings ... and clarity anything to cope with the cold daydreaming waiting for the sun to glow and bring hope wrapped up in jacket scarf rolled round throat fighting the elements till the low feeling goes like the snow
(muffled volume) But i still got your picture on my windowsill i still hear your voice in the night when I'm sitting still things need to get better you never think it will fed up left cut tell me this isn't real
cause i still got your picture on my windowsill i still hear your voice in the night when I'm sitting still things need to get better you never think it will fed up left cut tell me this isn't real (muffled volume)

Equipment - Nikor 50mm 1.4G AF-S prime lens
This post is to cover the Equipment, in this case the lens being used. The lens that we decided to use is the Nikon - AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G. This is a prime lens meaning that it has a fixed length at 50mm; it also goes down to aperture f/1.4 which means it has an extremely small depth of field. The depth of field in basic terms is what is in and out of focus for example these tow images bellow show the difference in between f/1.4 and f/2.2; instantly the depth of field of lack of is prominent.
Although it says that the length is 50mm it is actually more like a 75mm length. This is because the camera we will be using is a DX meaning that it has a cropped sensor, apposed to a full frame camera. this means we will have to be aware of the distancing in the shots.
Rough Cut
Here is a short teaser trailer (Rough Cut) that i have created using the footage that we recorded on the 2nd.
This was a quick edit to see what the footage looked like and how the song fits the clips. There are some errors that have been picked up upon, the major one being that some of the cuts are out of sync. this was due to deciding not to record the audio; we thought that seeing as we will be placing a song over the footage we might as well save some space and mute the microphone. I realised that this was a mistake when it came to editing, it was very hard to judge where the song fit with the cuts. in future or if we ever rerecord the scenes we will record the audio to stop the same error occurring.

First Shooting
Yesterday, 02/02/2012, we began filming our project.
We met Mixy in the city centre and headed to our first proposed shot location. However, it was very open on the main street so we decided to relocate around the corner. After a bit of a debate we decided on a shot leaning against the wall. We filmed the artist Mixy lip syncing the entire track so we have plenty of footage to use for this location. We shot this multiple times at different angles/distances with the artist performing different movements throughout so we have much variaty to choose from.
We wanted footage of the artist performing in multiple locations so we could cut to any one at any given time within the final video. So we headed over to the queensgate carpark to film a shot off of the roof. This provided a nice backdrop with bokeh lights and with it being evening time the lighting overall created a mellow feel, to match the song. We did the same here recording a lip sync of the entire track. However our time there was cut short due to security coming and asking us to leave as we require permission to film/photograph up there. We asked the information desk on how to gain permission and our purpose, they provided all the relvant information but unfortunately to gain permission we would have to give a few days notice.
After this, we decided to head on over to another carpark not far from there. We went on the top level, set up and started filming - again, a lip sync of the entire track. This location provided a particually nice backdrop, having the cathedral in the distance, illuminated by orange light. Also seeing many of the city lights, out of focus providing bokeh, which gave the shot a nice feel which matched the track. We also shot this multiple times, different angles and distance.
We also noticed on the top level there was a barrier infront of a gap of two buildings, nicely backlit by a light. We decided to shoot another full lip sync here too.
The day consisted of only full track lip-sync footage, however very varied and provided us with plenty of footage to play with for when it comes to editting. We still have alot to shoot, most of which will be story footage.
In terms of the equiptment, it faired very well, providing us with a much better ability to film stable, smooth panning shots, much better image quality and better lighting abilities.
