Over half term i have filmed most of my music video, i stuck by the idea of having a negative start and a positive end, i also used my original idea of having people jumping around and increasing in numbers in each of the choruses.

I only have around 4 clips left to shoot and these will be done when the song is being recorded. I decided to use the band recording in a few places throughout the song, i feel this makes it seem more personal as the audience is seeing what they are actually doing. Throughout this project i wanted to keep the feel of personal and as if the band is showing everything to the audience, i feel this  makes a connection with the audience and would increase the fan base.

I have found help to use the equipment in music and the recording of the song will be started one evening next week, hopefully.

Today i have started to gain a rough idea of the finished music video. I cannot make any of the final cut pro edit permanent as i have not yet recorded the song, without the song i cannot be certain on where each clip of video should start and finish.

I am happy with my footage and am really looking forward to having a finished product.

I have encountered a few problems with final cut pro as i have never used the programme before, however these problems were easily sorted with a little help from my classmates and my tutor. I find using transitions effective but i struggle with deciding which transition to use at each point to make the correct effect and feeling i want to portray. Next time i use final cut pro to edit my video some more i will have a better knowledge after todays session and it should be more productive because of this.

I found cutting the audio and turning the clips into black and white fairly quick and easy to do, and these are the main two things i wanted to accomplish today.

Iverall it has not been a bad day, and my next step should be recording the song and the final clips.
