Throughout this week we was under pressure in order to get a draft done for Thursday. Thankfully the work put in by us after school, off period and in lesson was very productive and we had managed to get our first draft by Thursday.
 In order for that to happen we also filmed our white screen shots, and we had to put it all in on the timeline which was a struggle to film and put it in within a week but the extra hours made it possible.

Also during this week we was inspired by watching a video of Mark Wahlberg training for a movie, however it was almost like a compilation. Therefore the editing for it had to be intact, and we was very intrigued by the editing. After looking at our shots we saw it was possible to base our opening on the footage we saw in Wahlberg's training video.

This week we had filmed all the shots we believe we had to in order to have a full timeline in time for next week's deadline.

We had decided to film on the white screen very late into the process, and we took the initiative to do this by thinking it would improve our video immensely. However to do this we would have to film on the week of our first draft deadline where we would be getting back feedback from our teachers.

This week's filming was based out in three locations, however this did not differ the quality in the shots because we spaced the filming out perfectly. And in fact other than the white screen shots we believe we have enough footage for our music video. We had stuck to our target of week 10, of getting the different variety of shots angles and shot types. This was essential as we can see we have a load of footage to choose from when putting it all together.

After filming the shots we initially got, we had started to get some pace on the editing and the opening scenes were all but done.

During week 10 we have gathered all of our footage and imported onto the macs to start editing with final cut.
The purpose for this was to realise what footage we had over the half term, and what footage we may need in the following week or two in order for our product to be improved and finalised.
In terms of the shot we were going to use from the half term, we felt as if we needed a variety of more shot types and angles.

Therefore we set out a target to get more footage with different angles and types of shots, however we still did put in the opening scene of our establishing shot of the gym on to our time line and it was inspiration to get better quality shots and more quantity. The filming will most likely be during the next week.

 What have you been doing this week ?

After finishing off the pre-production work, this half term was mainly used to start off our filming.
According to our production schedule we had planned for filming throughout the half term anyways.
We stuck by our document however we had tried to cover way too many shots on the production schedule for one week. Therefore we prolonged the filming and have decided we will use extended time to film the remaining shots from our shot list.

What were the main decisions you have made ?

Due to the fact we felt that the workload of getting most of our shots in under a week was too much, we had postponed some of the filming. I believe this decision may prove vital, however I do not think it will backfire us in our time management skills. This is because we have already planned for more filming with in the short time period we have, in fact I believe taking longer to do it will better the quality of the music video it self and this was another main factor in postponing the filming.
