Editing and that.
As we speak at this very minute in time, we are editing the footage into a masterpiece. We are using a media converter to edit some crowd footage on youtube, so it looks like there was a big crowd for our gig. the crowd wasn't that big you see. this is going to give us the edge. we are waiting for our footage to be uploaded because we filmed so much stuff. Blimey I didn't realize we did so much filming. Great, we just downloaded our crowd scene! It will also be quite funny in an ironic way, I'm told. We have got quite a lot of work to do and we really need to work our socks off to get it done on time. I think that our group should be given a one lesson extension because we had one wasted lesson that was nothing to do with us.

Filimng Update 9/11/09
We have been out to film the last of the footage that we need for our vid. We also went to film at CVC on Thursday and got some good footage, but Josh b wasn't there so we had to make do without him. Cy was rocking the keyboard like a bitch though! We are capturing the footage as we speak and will edit it on Final cut next lesson. It should be pretty sick when it's done.

Evaluating Feedback
Today we showed our very rough Roughcut to the other groups in our class. A lot of our feedback was very constructive and we know what to improve on when we start filming again. We have been told we need more close ups of performance, which we will have when we go back to Comberton Village College to perform on the stage, and get close ups of singing and playing the keyboard and guitar. We will also get more close ups of lip-syncing in different locations.
We were also told some of the shots are quite 'daft' but we will not change these as it adds to the comedy effect and keeps the viewer interested and entertained, as do the hats and slick shades we wear!

Tanya feedback
1. Some shots are quite long e.g. initial shots are of Josh. Well framed but needs more close ups of performers. Some shots rather daft.
2. Appropriate use of cuts back and forth to different locations. You could cut through the lines.
3. Mise-en-scene of urban environment fits well. Could do with more graffiti etc.
4. Costume and props all appropriate to the genre, as is the setting.
5. More close ups of performance. More graffitit (or other) more abstract images to use in edit.

Cinematography
- Lots of different camera angles and shots keep it interesting
- Camera can be seen in glasses at start
- Matched up lip synching well but need more (this is not our fault as we didn't get much)
- Good effects- some don't really fit though
- Good costumes (hats, glasses etc), goes with genre
- Good locations, could have more though
- Josh B needs a shave
- No narrative, bit random
- Some shots not relevant to lyrics, no car either
- More lip synching
- More thoughts that link to lyrics
- Rest of video (not our fault as there was no tape in the camera when we went to film at CVC)
