In the filming of our video we filmed in sections to fit the pieces of the music we wanted them for.This was much more productive than filming just a long video shoot of the entire song when you may not even use all of the footage.After our first video shoot in the garage was complete we decided to start the editing process on our video,as we were editing we noticed we would need more footage from the garage than first anticipated therefore we had to go and film more.Our first video shoot took place on the 16th of October in the garage we later returned on the 19th to film more footage for the garage.
When we had finished all of the filming in the garage we started to film the woods scenes on the 27th of October.On the 29th of October we decided to start filming some scenes in the junkyard on that day we filmed a lot of footage which we were able to put to very good use in the editing sides of thing due to this large amount of footage we didn't have to return to this location again to film anything else.After this we resumed editing our video and made a lot of progress with it until we realised that we needed more shots of the band in the woods to make a decent storyline for the video.The other reason for this was that when the group were filming the shots in the woods for the story i was not available on the day so i was missing from the video which is a very big continuity error which would have made the shots look very bad.We returned to the woods on the 6th of November to do more filming of Craig in the story and also some more band shots which would now involve me as i was their to be filmed.After this we then resumed again with editing which became a lot more harder as we had to rearrange a lot of shots or replace them all together so that the story was a lot better and all of the shots fit well together.
After we had completely finished our editing we decided all together that we want to make some changes to the start and the end of the video as some of things in the video were quite unclear and it would hard for the viewer to figure what is going on and why.We came up with the idea of Craig writing a bad comment on one of the bands videos on YouTube and then have him fall asleep and enter a dream sequence which would be our video.We shot all of this on the 19th of November at our school at a desk with a computer.After this we then did some last minute editing so that we were completely satisfied with out products we tweaked some scene so that they fit in well and we also added some cross fade effects to make the scene with Craig dreaming look better.
Just before we though we had finished the video we noticed that the end scene with Craig didn't fit quite well as we hoped so we had to change it so we went back to the woods on the 26th of November just to film the last bit we needed to make our video perfect.After this shot was filmed we then returned to do our final bit of editing to incorporate this shot into the video to make it fit properly.After this was done we then had just the last couple of timing issues to sort out where some guitar strums didn't go with music or a vocal note didn't match with what was being said,after this was done we were completely finished with out music video.
