Creative Journey: October-January Diary

Daily Diary of Production:

15.10.16 - I have created a production schedule to try and ensure that my filming and editing is filmed and completed to certain deadlines. This is a rough schedule as other commitments such as employment and exams could affect whether the deadlines are met. I plan to have my whole production completed by the end of January and the final production schedule can be found on a separate post.

29.10.16 - This was the proposed date to begin filming for my music video, however the actor which I had planned to film with suffered an injury prior to filming day making us unable to film. This will affect the production schedule as I need to find a date to reschedule where both me and the actor are able to film. However, I still have a detailed plan of what I need to film and can expand on this further so the next date set should run smoothly.

26.11.16 - Due to delays as a result of my actor being injured and problems setting a date, today was the first day to begin filming. I have successfully managed to get all the footage for the first half of the music video, however because of the weather, outdoor scenes were unable to be filmed. This means that I am still behind the production schedule initially set.

15.12.16 - Due to commitment issues on both parts, me and my actor were unable to set another date to finish filming. As I am now significantly behind production schedule and need to meet deadlines, I have made the decision to begin the filming process again with a different actor. I plan to film all necessary footage over the coming weeks.

08.01.17 - With my new actor, I have finished collecting footage for all the indoor shots however just as previously, the weather has prevented us from getting the shots for scenes outdoors. We plan to get these over the next few days weather permitting. Below is a photo taken on set. As a result of having to film the footage twice with two different actors, I found that the second shoot was alot more successful and more productive. For example I found positioning the camera and ensuring shots were still a lot easier meaning the second set of footage was more successful.


09.01.17 - I have began to cut together the footage I have so far using the software iMovie as it is free and the easiest to use. The screenshot below shows the beginning of the basic edit, however I plan to transfer the footage onto adobe premier in order to use after effects to enhance the shots.


23.01.17 - I have reached another obstacle in my film development as a large amount of the footage filmed has been lost between filming and transferring the footage onto my computer. I plan to re-film footage at the end of the week however means that I have fell further behind on my production schedule.

10.02.17 - I now have all the footage for my music video and can continue the editing process. This will have to be done over half term as I am away for the next week, however I should be able to complete this by the end of the month in time of the deadline.

27.02.17 - My final production for my A2 Media coursework as well as my print products are now complete. I am not completely happy with the final outcomes as I believe that my music video could have been executed to a higher standard but I have ran out of time to improve and create a second draft.
