Group Meetings

Over the following two weeks, as a group we met 4 four times during lesson time to continue to help Jamie edit and discuss further ideas. Piage, Emily and myself also begin to create the 5-10 minute documentry using the backstage footage from the shoot.
Paige has also emailed the band to talk about meeting up to do some further interviews and talk about the video so far.
Overall, I feel the video is coming along really well, and as a group we work together brilliantly.

Brief Editing Meeting

Thursday 20th January

Myself and Jamie stayed after our media lesson and looked over the editing Jamie had completed so far. We added a few more shots to the video, and also talked about other ideas we could input.
On the Adobe Premier software we are using to edit our video, there is a specific effect which we feel would be appropriate in our video as it portrays the rock/pop genre that our band focuses on and we also feel it helps make the video look more professional.
Taking this on board, I set about researching music videos that used smilar effects, and came across the video for Aha's song 'Take On Me'.

The video's 'sketch' effect gives the impression of life as a magazine, and I believe this unusual effect attracts the viewers attention and encourages them to want to watch on. This is a key reason why we wish to use an effect within our own music video. We feel our effect however, also portrays a grunge effect to match that of our rock band genre.
