First Edit Review; Video to be uploaded later

I have completed my first bulk edit for my music video. The process took approx 4 hours and is only half complete (Some scenes missing).

What needs doing:
- Green screen editing for the TV and start and finish
- Filming of scenes in rainy cobble street
- Tweaks on syncing
- Filming in Green room
- Film effects (Sepia, grain, scratches) in Adobe After Effects

I used Adobe Premier Pro CS5 on my home computer to edit my footage, (I chose to edit at home due to the limited amount of resources available at college). I will also be using Adobe After Effects on my footage once the video is complete in linear format.

Location Shots;

This image is my favourite of the day and it will be used for my ancillary text (website)

This photo will be one used in my collage of photos played during the static sounds in the first scene of my music video





Filming Update;

I filmed the first part of my footage at the museum today 11/01/12

I also took some of the still photos for the static opening of the video.

I had the museum booked for the hours of 9-10am and have the same times for Friday 13/01/12. It was a very productive day, however due to one of my actresses college timetable, she could not attend so I shot the scenes without her and will focus on her parts on Friday.

I was slightly nervous about how the video would look without a male actor but I am very pleased with the outcome and believe the video will be just as effective as it would be using a male actor.


Actor Update;

Due to my actors work schedule, he was unable to book the time off for me to film him. This obviously caused a huge inconvenience for me and my video as I now had to find an alternative actor.
Due to my reservation at the Street Life Museum for filming, I had to find a new actor within the space of a week and a half, the only person who volunteered and had a free schedule was my friend Chelsea, which obviously goes against my initial plans of having an actor looking like James Dean.
