A lot has happened since my last blog., before the christmas holidays- both good and bad I suppose. Firstly, due to other commitments, it was hard for me and Sophie to get together a lot, so I finally decided to continue the music video with me as the main character. Obviously this posed the initial problem of having to re-shoot the parts I had already done, but on the upside, I feel the emotion between me and Seth will have benefited from this change as we are a couple so there is no embarrassment, and we can easily show the love :) This left me with a short amount of time to shoot and edit, but thankfully, my organized preparation paid off as i found it much easier to shoot what I needed and shot my whole film in a matter of days over the christmas period. The hardest part was setting up the camera myself, for me to also be in the shot. However, I believed it has worked well.
Now, for the not so good things. Firstly, after editing the majority of my video, the mac I was working on unexpectedly closed imovie meaning that all my work was lost. This happened on numerous occasions which lost me a lot of time, and there was obviously nothing I could do as the technicians had tried to fix it numerous times. Following this (like I needed any more bad luck) the camera that i was using for a following shoot apparently needed 'cleaning', resulting in all my work to have grey lines across it. As this was down to the camera and tape, it could not be fixed which meant that I had to re-shoot all the work again, and more importantly, lost a lot of valuable time in the editing suite.
Relating to this, as we share macs throughout both years, it is extremely hard to get any time on them out of lesson time.
So after all this trauma I am finding it difficult to finish my work on time but am trying my very best, waiting in the mac suite for any possible chance of editing.
