Editing - 18/11/14
Today we made progress on the first rough cut. The narrative shots captured so far have been added to final cut timeline. So far we have reached 1:06 and have edited individual shots by using stabilisation to stop them from shaking as much.
Equipment Analysis
The equipment we are planning to use is:
· A Tripod
· A Canon EOS 1100D DSLR Camera
· Track and Dolly
· X4 Lights
The first three pieces of equipment are going to be used for the entire video while the lights will only be used for the TV Studio for performance because of compatibility issues.
The Canon we will use in our video has HD video capture with 12-megapixel image quality. This will increase the footage quality in our video and make it look more professional. This camera also allows us to use zoom and allows us to get deep or shallow focus shots because of its automatic and manual focus settings.
The tripod will allow us to achieve steadier shots, especially ones that require us to capture a certain shot for a long period of time. This is important as we need our footage to look as clear and sturdy as possible.
By using the Track and Dolly we will be able to obtain a wider range of shots including crane or tracking shots and shot angles such as higher high angles. The track will also allow us to get steadier/more stable footage.
The four lights will be used during our recording sessions inside of the TV studio to improve our lighting and the visibility of the performers.

Choosing The Song
We originally had many ideas and drafts for the song choice of our media product. At first we went through different artists in our genre area and came to decision that we would use 'Emily' by Lower Than Atlantis.
However after planning the video for the song, Lower Than Atlantis released an official video for the song. We decided to change it as we didn't want the video to influence the ideas for our own project. We then realised how common it was for an A2 media group to want to use a song such as this and use the extremely plain and simple idea of a boy loving a girl and them falling in love during the song, and so we decided to change our idea and go for a darker, less joyful song which we could use to perhaps alter the narrative into something that no one was expecting and not follow the trend that has been set by so many videos throughout the course.
When thinking of a song we came up with 'Covet' by Basement which had slower lyrics and a darker tone which helped us achieve what we wanted to do in terms of mixing up what is usually seen in previous years.
The song is relatively short but there is enough time for us to get lip sync in the performance sequences and camera and editing in the narrative to get a good grade at the end of the course.

Budget Sheet
When planning out our music video project, we have come to the realisation that some of our ideas and plans for the video include a lot of travelling, as well use of props. Because of this, we have decided to budget our video and therefore estimate the outgoing costs that we need to think about before filming.
Narrative
Bedroom
No budget is needed for these shots as all props provided are already owned and is within walking distance of the college.
Flower Shop
£5-£10 is needed for the flowers, which will also be used in the Care Home scenes.
No budget will be needed for travel as it is within walking distance of the bedroom scene and college.

Care Home
£17 is needed for the Grandma's costume, which will include both costume and make up, that we will purchase the week before filming with the actor to get the right size costume and shade of makeup.
£15 is needed for travel, most likely, for both cast and crew.
Performance
Studio
No budget is needed for the performance as the setting is within walking distance of the college.
No budget is needed for props and equipment as the cast and crew are using their own musical instruments and the college has provided the crew with the equipment.
