During the week at school we began uploading the footage and editing. In our groups we split up into two small teams where Zoe uploaded and began to edit the music video and Chelsea and myself did the same but for the DVD extras, Molly was unable to participate because of an exam. At the start of the editing process we filed through the footage and labelled each clip with shot descriptions and take number. As we planned to film our crew interviews during school hours due to there being not enough time to film we didn't have masses of footage to categorise.
Later on in the week during one of our classes theory lessons the class expressed some of our concerns and feedback about the task. I believe that this discussion has been very beneficial to us not only giving us some confidence in our projects but also many solutions. Some concerns that we raised about some projects, ours included, was that to meet our clients requirements we made a performance video with no narrative and it was mentioned that many of the most successful music videos have a strong combination of narrative and performance. With the band members having busy schedules it was brought to our attention that the narrative didn't have to involve the band, this gave me an almost instant idea to pad out our video and make it more inviting to watch. Also for out clients we could supply a performance video only but for our coursework we could edit a further version that incorporates both. Although i had much doubt about the project before this discussion i felt a little more relieved that our group wasn't the only one with these problems and that their our feasible solutions to meet the criteria and to an extent s production that i would personally be pleased with.
