Editing Log - Session 6
Editing Log - Session 6:
Working around and filling in spaces from sessions 5 heavy lip syncing synchronising, we added as many shots as we could. Including more of the band members as asked. The tools used were blade. This is because we wanted to include as many as we could and splitting the shots up and using different parts of the same shot at different points helped us achieve this. Also, we used the transition tools to include fades at the end of the music video. This was done to match the audio of Wonderwall and more dramatic effect (Goodwin's theory). This is because enigma is created as Lucy's eyes are seen looking at the audience to kind of say that she can see and identify you but you can’t. This adds to the enigma and dramatic effect as the semantic and symbolic codes are used from Barthes' codes. This is because people would become aggregated as they want to know who I am singing about and what the song means. This makes the audience engage with the text and question meaning encoding and decoding (Halls' theory).
Also, to add to the binary opposition side of the narrative, the more shots of Lucy and the band used showed the difference in location. This is because Lucy is at a water front of as pond which is heavily linked with rural areas. Also, the band are recorded with a brick wall background and that being heavily linked to urban areas. This helped us portray the relationship between working class to urban areas and higher classes in rural areas. This helps us make the meaning of song aimed at social barriers stopping relationships between social classes. with the lyrics 'There are many things that I Would like to say to you but I don't know how' helps enforce this.
After adding the shots, were watched the final product carefully trying to spot errors. We made sure cuts were smooth and would not produce a black screen flash. This helped us make it look more professional and to a good standard. Once this was done we reviewed at a second time to make sure we didn't miss any transitions out. This helped us display that are music video was a good quality.
Overall, during this editing session we completed a rough edit of our music video. We used several tools to help us accomplish this. The aim of this session was to emphasise how key the narrative was focusing on non-performing parts of the music video to help make it look like a proper, industry standard music video. We used several theories to help guide us in the direction we wanted and audience feedback to make sure that are target audience would like it. This rough edit will be shown are focus group we took to gain guidance on any aspects that could be improved and help decide our final product.
This session consisted of primarily
working on the feedback we had received from session 5. This is done to
help guide is in the direction of making it look a good quality to the
audience as well as meeting our own targets. The session including shots
focusing more on the narrative side will help us meet the requirements of
a stereotypical music video.

Editing Session Feedback 5
Editing Session Feedback 5:
The feedback will carry over from session 4 due to not acting upon it last time due to overruling the feedback to help benefit us in the future. This target will be prioritised for the next session by including more shots of the band members in the music video.
Also, improvements to be made would be to sort at shots and make them closer together. This is because cuts started flashing up a black screen as they weren't directly after each other. By stopping the milliseconds of black screens and piecing shots together it will make it look more professional as well as continuity from different shots.

Editing Log - Session 5:
In the fifth session today we listened to feedback kind of from session 4. This is because the target was to include more band member shots. However, the group agreed and over ruled this target. Due to a time limit and people having to go places we decided that we should lip sync the parts of me singing from the chorus to the end of the song. We left gaps in order to include other shots later on. We decided to do this as if we get the hard part out the way by session 6 we should be finished by just including shots relative for the narrative then.
A few negatives was that my lip syncing didn't match the audio that we had with the longer notes not fitting. We made the most of the clip and what we had using the cut and blade tool getting parts that were relative to use and matched the audio of wonderwall. This worked really well for us as it meant there were lots of slots available for future shots of the band, myself and Lucy to make the narrative clear and show importance with it dominating the final part of the music video, when it matters.
In a whole this session helped us establish what to do for session 6 as well as progress with lip syncing. Using tools to help guide us and overcoming an obstacle with notes and my lip syncing. Getting the hardest task out the way was key for us to make the job easier in the next session and hopefully completing it. This was a massive step in heading towards completion as we have a clear plan of what to do next.

Editing Session Feedback 4
Editing Session Feedback 4:
The feedback we received was positive saying that they liked the techniques we used, conventions, narrative and story telling that was on display for the audience. They however said that they feel like more band shots are needed due to me taking up too many shots. Even though i am the main singer and should be in most the shots there is till and uneven share between the band. This will be worked upon in the next session when proceeding with our product.

Editing Log - Session 4:
This session I was in
attendance with both the Jacks also there to help. The idea of this
session was to get as many shots as we can into the music video during this
session. This would include several shots of band members, Lucy and myself
lip syncing.
The idea was to piece together as shots to complete the chorus of the song as this bit was incomplete. Learning on mistakes and overcoming it this session was very successful. We completed what we aimed to do in the time limit we had.
We again used several tools such as the cut tool to gain the correct part to the clip, blade tool to create continuity from shot to shot and the turning down of the sound on the clip which isn't required. We also looked carefully by creating a relationship with the beat of the music. This is one of Goodwin's ideas. This was done by creating quick cuts alternating from two shots to exaggerate the instruments in the video.
This session we made a massive stride to making it suit the genre conventions. Using the correct shots and emphasising the narrative of binary oppositions with rural and urban establishing shots clear. Enigma also created as Lucy's face is not completely identifiable and semantic and symbolic features being used, of Barthes codes, as the audience question what the lyrics mean and who the main singer is singing about. In addition, using Goodwin's theory of relationships to the audio of the song helped us make it look professional.
Editing Session Feedback 3
Editing Session Feedback 3:
The feedback that was received was a
positive on what was edited. The beginning of the music video shots that was
varied and established the setting was what was praised. It was said to help
explain narrative and setting and showed qualities of a Britpop music videos
including conventions. This will help us in the future as we know that we don't
have to edit the intro in the future due to it having positive feedback.
In the next editing session, we will focus on adding more shots of Lucy (Mysterious girl) as well as adding more shots of myself lip syncing and the band. The target is to do this as well as trying not to show to much of Lucy's whole face and piecing together the lip syncing a little better trying to make sure it matches our non-diegetic sound of the audio of the song.
