Storyboards

These are our storyboards, these were vital as we needed them to know what scenes, shots and locations we would be doing at what time. We followed our storyboard as best we could and only ignored it if there was a problem whilst filming which prevented us from following the storyboard.

Meetings

Meetings are important to carry out as they helped us when a decision that concerned us all needed to  be made. They allowed us to all express our opinions simultaneously which allowed us to come up with the most suitable and effective solutions to problems and general plans for the filming stage of our task. It allowed us to collaborate all of our ideas which I feel gave us the best result as we all specialized in different things which meant that we could take the best ideas from each group member and incorporated them into our video.

We worked well as a group as three of our four members were a group for media in the previous year and we are all good friends and who get on well together. This helped us a great deal as we all already new what each others strengths were which allowed us to delegate tasks to group members effectively.

Editing styles.

After the filming process we moved on to the editing stage in which we had all collaborated to come up with the editing styles that we felt were most important to include in our video. 

One of these styles was continuity editing which is a style of editing in which the shots are put together to make chronological sense. We decided to use this style as we felt is it was the best way to show our story and therefore convey our concept easier. This technique is has been used throughout the whole video as it is a story and must make sense as it needs to be followed by its audience. 

Another editing style that we decided to use was quick cuts or fast pace editing. This envolves putting shots together but in quick succession to create a fast paced feel to the video. This links in with our genre of music and helps to create a chaotic and energetic feel to the film. This technique will be used during the build up to choruses within our song. 

The final editing style that we used was the montage technique which involves incorporating many shots and putting them together to tell short stores and show flashbacks or memories within the story. This style occurs two times nearer to the middle of the video to show the character having memories.
