  FILMING • Technical –When filming I used my own equipment from home. To be able to stand the camera up well I used a tripod so that when the cameraman moved the camera from side to side, it was steady and made it look more professional. This worked well. The problem with using my own equipment was that I only had one battery so I had to make sure it was on charge when I wasn’t filming. • Logistical – With my filming I had to make a lot of preparation for the locations. This took time which I found didn’t work very well. For starters when filming in the locations inside I had to make sure that certain object wasn’t in shot and had to make sure to add certain things. I also had to make sure that there was good enough lighting so that it looked good. When filming outside I had to wait so that there wasn’t any members of the public in the background as that wouldn’t fit in. I also had to wait until a specific part of the day to film specific parts as I wanted the lighting to be different in certain shots. This made me need to wait for long periods to get that perfect shot. • Personnel – As it was just me in the video we didn’t have to arrange with any cast members when to film. The good thing about this is that I could film whenever and wherever as I was filming and performing. For specific parts of the video I needed help with recording, so to do this asked one of my house mates which allowed me to have this improved scene where I didn’t have to film and perform. • Planning – Planning this before filming it was a big help. This allowed me to figure out what I want to do on each day and so that I could stick to a time plan so I didn't fall behind and so that I could work towards a deadline. The good thing with making the plan is so that I also knew which section I was going to film when as I recorded in a muddled up order. • Next steps – I didn’t need to re film anything as I only did one take of everything but there was a couple of extras in that one clip that I was able to use if I needed it. I did change a very big part of the video though. Originally I was going to use a song called gone gone gone but instead I used one called like I'm gonna lose you as this song fits the video better and the first song was too upbeat.

  EDITING – FILE MANAGEMENT Infile management I used a few things to allow me to make it more organised. For starters I made a specific folder to put all of my video clips in. On the picture to the left I named the folder Music Video Clips so that I clearly knew where all the video clips are. I then made four folders for each section of the video. This allowed me to move the clips into each section that they would be needed for the video. This made it a lot quicker to find the clips in each section when making the video. In each section folder there is a folder for each scene location. I did this so that I could quickly see where each location was as each scene in them locations are similar. Finally, doing all this allowed me to locate each clip quickly and easily so that I could start making the video faster.

  On my pendrive made a file that had the most important bits on. This had the Mp3 file of the song that I edited and that I was going to use for the video. This made it easy to locate as it was a finished audio file. I also had the premier pro save file located in this folder and this also allowed me to save it there whenever I finished it for the day or completed a section. Laying out this project in these different folders makes it tidy and easy to find what I was looking for. When the video was finished I put the video in this folder as it was fully completed EDITING – FILE MANAGEMENT

  EDITING – SETTING UPPREMIERE When setting up the project file on premier I first set up the name as ‘like I'm gonna lose you’ as this is the name of the song and it makes it easier to locate. I also move the location file to my desktop where I keep all of my other files. This will make it easier to find on another day and when saving it.

  EDITING – IMPORTING FOOTAGE Whenmoving my footage I opened the folder which had the clips that I wanted to use. From this I drag and dropped them onto my open premier pro file. This will put the files into the side box for you to pick from. To put them on to the timeline I dragged the video from the side box and then place it on the timeline where I wanted it.

  EDITING – WORKSPACE The bigbox on the side of the screen is the media browser, this is where all of the video and audio get put ready to be transferred onto the timeline. Next to the box is the tool bar. At the top is the curser which will allow you to easily select items. The tools that I used the most was the curser and the cutting tool which is shaped as a little razor. This tool breaks up the clips or effects.

  EDITING – EXPORT When exportingthe footage it can be done quickly. Go file, export then media. To export it I changed where to save it too, and changed the quality to YouTube 1080P.
