Sunday 14th November

Today we met in the center of Manchester to film some more of our narrative footage. We started at Picadilly Gardens, filming several shots of Gabi and Alex walking towards each other on the walkway that runs across the gardens. We had problems with people walking into the shots and pigeons flying across the camera, but in the end we managed to get some good footage. We also took some pictures of Gabi and Alex stood in front of the fountains for possible poster/ cd cover images.

We then walked through the arndale and filmed the couple walking down the main steps outside. We then got some more walking shots next to the Urbis for the start of the music video. We also filmed the couple sat at a table outside starbucks, and zooming into the eyes to relate to some lyrics in the song. We also filmed the 360 degree head spin.

Overall it was a successful day of filming and we got some good footage.

Thursday 11th November

Today we added more of our footage which we had filmed at Justines house and down her street to the timeline. We then continued to edit the footage where convenient and to the beat of the song. At this point we realised by looking at our timeline, that we didn't have enough of the narrative footage therefore we planned to film on Sunday 14th November.

Monday 8th November

Today we had got back to the editing stage but without one of our group member, Gabbi. All though we had started editing, we had encountered a problem with the time line because it was moving the recording scenes to a different place which meant they were off beat. Mr Reeh had helped us with the problem so we could carry on. We started to put more footage on the time line and edited specific parts to specific places which we had planned from our actual story board. for e.g. the washing line saying "I LOVE YOU" and also the part where Gabbi and Alex are having there dinner. We used speed motion today on some of our footage giving it a little touch to the footage, and its looking good so far.

Thursday 4th November

Today we had the song on a USB therefore we were able to add the song to the timeline and continue editing but more accurately this time due to having the music which meant we could edit to the beat.
we also took a look at our stop motion images and began to edit these into the time line aswell for the chorus's .

Monday 1st November

Today we created a project in final cut pro and had to import our footage onto the computer. We then had to convert our footage so it was compatible with the application. We then looked through our footage and immediately began to decide which footage we would definately use and which footage we wouldnt but we would keep anyway because there may have been a few seconds of good footage.
We then began to place footage onto the timeline of our feet tapping to the beginning of the song and edit it to the reference of times which we had made from when we timed the sections of the song as we didnt have the song on a USB.

Monday 25th October

We began to film at Justines house, where we plan to film the flash back scenes and the washing lines scenes where we will spell more of the lyrics.
We spelt " i LOVE YOU ' on justines washing line using clothes for example, socks, boxers, t-shirts etc and took each letter off one by one for use later on with stop motion.
We also filmed some of the narrative aspects, for when there is a flashback of gabi and alex as a happy couple- we filmed them cuddling on a sofa, and eating a meal. we also got footage of them walking down the road holding hands from behind and other angles just to make sure.
To make sure we had too much footage incase of instrumental bits in the song, we also got footage of them doing other things together for example, jumping about on a trampoline and getting into a car and driving off, we might not necessarily use this footage but we were covering our backs incase of lack of footage in the future so we dont have to go back to the location.

Another days will be used for anything we need re-shooting and/or extra footage and new ideas

Thursday 21st October
