Today, we submitted our video supposedly for the final time. Saying this, we do have more time to complete the project, but this must be out of lesson time from now on. Like for the rough cut, we had a class presentation of all the videos, and feedback was given to us from both Mrs Alison and our class mates.
Feedback! The feedback was categrorised into two groups, these were:
Strong aspects in terms of: - Camerawork
- Mise En Scene
- Editing for Meaning
- Sound
and...
Weak aspects in terms of: - Camerawork
- Mise En Scene
- Editing for Meaning
- Sound
We recieved the following feedback:
1. Camera Skills were evident throughout (strong examples of match-on-action, and use of 2 cameras)
2. The 'Citizen Kane' influence scene was very effective - a clear example of intertextuality without simply copying.
3. Our Performance shots were of a good standard.
4. Lip-synching was very good.
5. We used effects with restraints.
6. Interesting story-line throughout.
7. Classmate Perry Allen reffered to it as 'masterful'.
8. The dialouge scene showed a bit of an off-balance of sound.

Editing! (3.12.2010)
Today, the main aim was to complete the video so that there were no gaps and it was ready for final viewing.Did we achieve this target? Yes we did :)
Editing Summary
1. We constructed the anti-climax section of the song (the Citizen Kane influenced scene). We did this simply by cutting down short footage of Emily and Joe at the table, gradually moving further apart.
2. In this section, we also did similiar cuts of the shots of us 4 girls. They were inserted inbetween the Emily & Joe table shots, and to make the transitions smoother we inserted quick white dips inbetween all the shots. This helped the whole thing flow.
3. We completed the end section. We didn't super-impose in the end as this turned out to be complicated. More on this particular section will follow in a future blog.
The End Product!
Now that the end product is here, I can say that I am extremely happy with it. I feel that the editing is sharp, and to a high standard. The video has now been exported and is ready for a final grading. I am confident that the video will not need much alteration, however we have been told that if there are clear areas of improvement we will be allocated time to fix them (of course if any in ours is identified we would be re-visiting the editing stage). So all in all, I am very pleased, and have my fingers crossed for the class viewing on Friday.

iTunes Number 1 Music Video (6.12.10)
In the iTunes chart this week, the number 1 music video (the most downloaded) of this week is Black Eyed Peas "Dirty Bit".
On another blog which I came accross, I found a review for this weeks top music video:
"The weirdest single of the year still goes to The Black Eyed Peas with The Time (Dirty Bit), but it's still shaping up to be quite a hit, debuting at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 last week. After a high profile appearance at the recent American Music Awards, the Peas have released their music video for The Time (Dirty Bit). They are clearly gunning for a big jump next week on the Hot 100. The music video doesn't do anything much for me, but it's less what-the-crap-is-this-mess and more.. Well, fine to listen to."
Personally, I like the video as I believe they have stuck to the typical conventions they usually use (a futuristic, lively look). I think it fits in with the music genre, and is generally quite good viewing!
My Video of the Week!
Rihanna - "What's My Name".
When browsing the charts, I came accross my favourite video at number 17! The reason i like this video is because it is generally more my style of video. I think that there are certain elements and styles (concerning all of camera work, editing and mise-en-scene) that resemble the look we have tried to go for in our video. I especially like the bright lighting, and even more so how the video is interesting to watch even though much isn't really happening in terms of a back story. Love this one!
