Editing Update

Now that we have the large majority of the filming done, means that we can start on our editing which is progressing very well now that we are a week in doing so, where we are getting the footage to sync in with the music so changing the scene when the beat drops or changes. We need to get some more footage to fill in the gaps and touch up on some of the edits already done to reach perfection.

Filming Update

Most of our filming is done now and we have hours of footage, however because of the turn of events some of the desired filming didn't get done such as in New Zealand. All that is left to do is some more filming in Lincoln and the under water filming, that will get done over the next 2 weeks.

Job Roles

In our group we have delegated particular roles between ourselves in order to achieve the maximum efficiency and output from our group. Below is the list and description of our Job Roles within the group:

Ben McStay: Me being Ben is one of the actors performing in our production, I am not involved in any camera work as I am needed in most of our productions scenes as I play a major role in our video. However in the post-production phases of our project, I will lead the way in our editing stage, being the most skilled in this particular area.

Gabriella Whybrow: Gabi will be partly involved with both camera work and directing during the production of the video. She has the most insight and vision when it comes to what will be included in our video and so as director is in the head position of production to ensure the video meets the ideas put forward during the planning stage.

Harry Weatherall: Harry's role is to be lead camera-man and to film the majority of the footage. This role was attributed to him because of his skill with the camera which are far better than his acting, hence us choosing Me (Ben) to fill that role. Also as Gabi had primarily founded the ideas for our production she has taken the directors seat guiding Harry to filming in the correct manor that is needed.

Turn of Events

Due to an un expected turn of events one of the group members was not able to go on holiday to New Zealand, meaning that we were un able to get the footage needed from their holiday. Because of this set back we are currently working as a group on a new extra idea of what to film and finding  new place within England to film the extra footage needed, to cover up the gap from not being able to film in New Zealand.

Auditioning

In order to find our two actors for the music videos we carried out auditions with the possible candidates of which:
William Pembery
Tonicha Watson
Chloe Skinner
Charlie Scales
Ben McStay
Tuesday Whybrow


William Pembery:
Will fitted the stereotype that we wanted to meet, however because of his recent accident he wouldn't be able to ride the horses, which is big problem. Also he has never done any acting therefore it may make the video look amateurish.



Tonicha Watson:
Tonicha is very bubbly and enthusiastic and has had some acting experience, which meant she ticked quite a few of our boxes, however she is allergic to horses which would cause a big problem. When Tonicha acted out a fight she was very impressive, she took on the role very well and made it look very realistic.


Chloe Skinner:
Chloe showed very poor acting shills in the interview therefore we didn't put her forward to the casting stage.


Charlie Scales:
From the start we knew we wouldn't choose Charlie purely for the same reason as Tonicha he is also allergic to horses meaning he wouldn't be able to do one of the scenes, also he was going to be on holiday when we were starting filming.
