Rushes Log


This rushes log will help me hugely when constructing my music video together in Adobe Premiere because I will have set out all the corrections that I need to do in my footage, and the descriptions of the footage and what file name they are under.

Production Diary 12: Alterations Made Along The Way

Alterations Made Along The Way

Although the initial planning ideas and research went well in my project there have been a few alterations that I have had to make in order for my tasks to work in the way I wanted them to. For instance, the big change I've had to consider is removing Marcus and William altogether from the musuic video, as too many people who viewed it said they could not understand the relationship between them and the footage of Adam and Beth, it was too confusing and almost like Marcus and William's appearance was a little disorentating to the music video. Removing them was a hard decision however I think I may create 2 music videos if time allows, one with them not in and one with them in. This will depend on time though, and I am running out of it. Removing them had one benefit - it allowed me more time to put in other footage such as the forest and abandoned piano which I chanced upon very suddenly during summer work experience last year. 'The Power of Love' had not even  yet been formed in my mind but it was such a unusual object to stumble upon I decided to shoot some footage of it, and I'm glad I did because the instrument matches perfectly with the modernised grand piano in the Roll A footage.

Other alterations I made included not involving the footage I took whilst in Rosemoor Gardens in Devon. I decided against using this footage because I didn't feel it looked particuarly professional and
didn't fit in with the storyline. This being said, I have included one tiny snippet of it - the spider web scene- because it did fit in with the lyrics about 'being beautiful' and 'sparkling lights' because of the way the sunlight plays with the dew drops on the cobweb.
