Thoughts about our Rough Cut

Well, we are happy with how its going so far, but there is still a lot to be done! We have a whole load of problems with filming, none of them our fault and we have tried very hard to compromise. We don't yet have enough footage of the verses being lip-synced, but this will change when we get another chance to film after half term. We have some good effects on the rough cut, and some good ideas of what we are going to do.

Rough Cut

Never has a rough cut been rougher :)

Things that we still have to film

This is a list of things we have not filmed yet:

Josh and Josh lip syncing some of the verses.
Close ups of the artists face.
Live performance.
Build up to the Live Performance.
Lip-syncing in various locations.
The moody Groundsman telling us off.

Filming update

So far we are quite pleased with the footage we have and have edited some of it quite well. Sadly our rough cut won't be ready on time, due to situations beyond our control.

Ed Lovelace

We had a talk from a former Long Road Pupil called Ed Lovelace. He went to Bournemouth University, where he made a friend called Daryl. During his time at Uni he had various projects to make certain videos, such as music videos.
The University required every pupil to get themselves a three month placement, in which Ed worked as a runner for a media company, making tea and cleaning up after other people. When he finished University he found work with a company called Pulse films, where he and Daryl created music videos for music bands. He started off very low budget, creating videos for £100, before moving on to bigger budgets of £40,000 for a group called "Cage The Elephant".
He is now working on a proJect called "Werewolves across America", in which a homeless folk singer travels across America and plays gigs in peoples homes and stays there the night. The feature film is a documentary which will be shown at the picture house in Cambridge next year.

Lyrics

This is a little limerick
Of something that don’t exist
Called love and the passion
They’re coming together with action
I’m never hesitating with my words or my thoughts
I go on
Blasting through these doors
Just to show them what I got
I, got my hand motion into the sky
You got your, hands grabbing onto another lie
Now take it easy baby
You never forget where you’re from
Swallow your pride
Cuz everyone thinks they is number one
Some, people can love
Some people can only hate
Some people are deviant in the back of the face
It would take all the strength
Of an army loaded with guns
And all that it takes
Is an army of one

Now what you’re telling me is this
Let me get it correct
Cuz Ima step up in this motherfucker
Dripping with sweat
I know a glimpse is better
Than never seeing at all
At least I know what to expect when all the leaves start to fall

(Chorus)
She kept on walking and she never ever looked back
And you do know everybody in town knew that
She gunna take off, going to be a star
When there’s nothing left she gunna jump out of your car

This is the motion of the ocean
And it’s overflowing
This is the motion of the ocean
And it’s overflowing
I gotta keep it up
Keep on going
Don’t stop exposing myself
Out to the public
Got to make em love it
Gotta, make em hurdle over people to see
Me and my shiny gold hair
And my shiny white teeth
Eventually enchanted with their newly crowned king
They follow me with pictures of myself
They just ripped out the magazine
No time for autographs
I got places to be
Gotta race around the world
Until there’s nothing to see
Like a helicopter
Spinning rotors floating in the sky
Your free girl
Go on and go on and give it a try.

I see your asking what I got with a pocket full of holes
And we’re the exact opposite
But we keep blowing smoke
So now tell me why you insist
On wasting my fucking time
Keep on searching round here for something you aint gunna find
So lets take a step back
Remove our mask and ask
Is this the way we’re gunna live
Keep on stepping over cracks
I know you try so hard to be what you want to be
But it aint that
So Ima say c’mon baby, go on a lay back.

(Chorus)
She kept on walking and she never ever looked back
And you do know everybody in town knew that
She gunna take off, going to be a star
When there’s nothing left she gunna jump out of your car

This is our test footage. We added the black and white effect as this is what we are planning to use for our video.
