Last year made me realise that planning is absolutely crucial! Therefore, in order for our music video to actually look amazing, we made sure we planned as thoroughly as possible. Even though we had planned our locations, shots, artist and lighting/edit effects well.. We forgot the most important thing: Base-tracks! This was discovered as soon as we initially went in to start our editing. Once we saw our footage on screen it became apparent that our footage looked a little messy and wouldn't fit in well with our concept/theme unless we did something and fast. Luckily, we still had some time left to film as we were ahead of others at this stage. So we went to Valeza's house and filmed some base-tracks of her lip syncing. In doing this, I feel we saved our video from falling apart as it boosted our confidence in the editing suite and we got stuck straight into the editing process.
Jessica and Valeza were absolutely amazing at editing our video with the help of me and Erika feeding ideas and saying if thought it looked well or not. As well as trying to help add effects into the music video and meeting up in our own time to fix it and get the video to the best it possibly could be. This task this year has made realise just how difficult it is to film and produce a top quality music video. It's no wonder artists take forever to realise a video for their songs as its so time consuming but very rewarding by the end product!
