In the sun remake

As a class we re-made the music video to 'In the sun' by She and Him.

Original:



Re-made version:



What I did whist filming that helped editing?
1. Firstly filming the scenes in chronological order helped whilst editing as it made it easier to organised which shot goes where, thus saving time.
2. Next, I played music while filming the shot to help the performers keep in sync with the music; lip syncing and dancing; this makes syncing the footage to the music in the editing stage, and also make it look more realistic.
3. Always film the whole scene instead of sections, that when editing you can cut some of the footage down; it’s always better to have more, so that it can be cut down instead of less, in which case the shot may not be able to be used.
4. Lastly, many of the shot were filmed multiple times so we could use the most professional looking one when it came to editing.

What I did whist filming that made it harder to edit?
1. While filming some of the shots, communication in the group was low and this cause some problems, such as, some of the shot not being filmed at all, taking too much time to film and the shot not being filmed correctly; this hindered the editing because it made it harder to put the shots in order correctly and also made it look less professional.
2. The location, mainly the library was very cramped and limited the dancing we could do and also the shot types. This made the film look less professional.
3. Some of the lip syncing was not in time with the music and was not exaggerated enough; this made it hard to sync the music to the shot.
4. Because some of the shot were not filmed, I had to re-use some of the previous shots.

WWW:
• I was able to get all the shots in the correct order, even with the difficulty of missing shots and incorrect shot types. I was also able to sync in well with the music.
• The filming equipment, such as, the fig-rig and tripod were used correctly and efficiently to produce steady shots.
• The dancing and lip syncing was in time majority of the time.
• We used the same shot types and length from the original music video to a good standard.

EBI:
• Although the film was created to a good standard compared to the original video, there were some shots missing and incorrectly shot.
• The lip syncing could have been more exaggerated; this would have made it easier to sync the shot to the music.
• Communication could have been better within the group; this could have made the filming run smoother and faster.
