Post Production - UPDATE 1

I finished filming everything last weekend. I managed to get all the footage I needed by filming on Saturday; filming George's parts in the morning and then all of the extras arrived in the afternoon to film the party and narrative scenes. George was easy to work with and really got what I wanted from the video. I chose his costume to match the research done in the branding and profiling stage (e.g. braces, buttoned up shirt, tweed trousers, Dr Martens); a kind of plaid look I felt went with the video and matched the costume of his love interest. I was also very keen to get him to play all of his instruments within the video as an artist he likes to think of his music fits into the Baroque Pop genre of Indie, featuring many classical instruments mixed with a more pop-vibe, so I wanted to capture both sides of the artist. Overall filming was really successful I got everything I needed and everyone was really great and co-operative which was good because we didn't have long to film.

Since then, I have begun editing and have edited about 2-3 out of the 4 minutes roughly. It will take a while to refine all of the footage because there is quite a lot of it.

Below are screen grabs of my edit on Final Cut Express: 

Equipment List

UPDATED: Filming Schedule

IMPORTANT 

Change in location from a house in South London to a house in Hampstead because of a confusion with the dates and through miscommunication. The change in the location doesn't alter the piece that much, it just means that the original storyboards created with the first location in mind will have to be altered on set. 

Also the list of props have also changed as the other location had a projector and this one doesn't, however I am not too fussed, I feel I can get the lip sync shots I need in this space.
