It's Finished :D
WE FINISHED OUR MUSIC VIDEO!!
This video was a challenge at first, we found that we didn't have enough footage to start with and had to go back a do some more filming. Another problem that occurred was that the singers footage was too dark, looking at the Rough Cuts you can see that we have changed the lip syncing footage and change the location of the footage as well. This new location gave more natural lighting and really highlights the singers face and actions, it also makes the overall video look more professional and realistic.

While filming we found that the camera was left recording and this played to our advantage and we used this footage in high speed to match the rest of the video and gave a more realistic effect to the narrative of our music video. Another section that wasn't planned but a moment of pure silliness, was that of the swivel chair. Our actors thought it to be funny to play with a swivel chair they had found and finding this funny we thought it would be a good idea to film this and found the idea amusing. Personally i was very amused and felt it would be a good idea to put this in our video. So we did.
Tricky parts that had an effect on the timings of the video production was the lip sync and the stop motion. We had to make sure that it was precise and accurate to ensure the professionalism of the video. The lip sync was one of the last bits of footage we placed on the time line while editing as we had the trouble of having to re-film it. This created problems in parts as we found that there wasn't enough space in areas to add this footage in. This meant we had to cut other frames of footage on our time line to make it fit. As this took u most of our time we got ever stressed toward the end and struggled to finish the video in the time giving. However, saying this we managed to get it complete and finalised the video in time and we are very pleased with the final product.

Organisation of actors, locations, costumes and props
Some of the things we did to manage our time well:
Actors
-We ensured we personally knew all the actors (our friends), so it would be time efficient for us when amending a time and date to shoot.
-If something was not shot correctly, it was not then difficult to get in contact with the actors, largely as we created a Facebook message and added everyone into it.
-We certified that all the actors were willing to do what we asked them to do beforehand.
-We formed a document of the order of the auditions to make sure we do not waste any of the actor's time and we only call them when they are needed.
-We informed the actors way in advance if we needed them so if they were unable to attend, we would have enough time to make adjustments accordingly.
Locations
-We used Call Sheets so we knew exactly which actors, where, when and for what they were needed.
-We created a Shot List to make sure we knew exactly what shots we were doing for each location.
-We also noted next to each verse/line where this would be shot to manage our time well.
-We kept to a minimum amount of locations so it was accessible for everyone and this would also save time and money.
Costumes
-We made a costume list for each actor.
-In our group meetings we discussed who was avail to what costume.
-If no one had certain costumes, we discussed where we could buy them from as long as it was affordable.
-We ensured that our actors were willing to wear these costumes and that they would fit them correctly.
Props
-Similarly we made a prop list too.
-We researched on where and who we could borrow props from such as tea cups, a table and a scientists cloak.
-We tried to keep realistic with costumes and props, thus, we only thought about those props and costumes that were avail to us easily.
