  FILMING • Technical –Using the camera was not a problem in this project as my shots were not complicated and were easy to set up. I did not use any equipment like green screens or anything including the college studio. The only equipment I needed was a tripod and a camera. • Logistical – The locations I used were just around college and the only problems I ran into were trying to get a clean shot without catching any students within it. Most shots were fine trying not to catch other student in it, but some locations I could not avoid that. For example, the outside shots. I did not run into any major problems with the environment when shooting my music video • Personnel – I had a short crew of two people and there were no problems with filming as the other crew member is a member of the class and my filming was within college time so it was easy to communicate and make things run smoothly. My music video did not require a huge crew as it was a very simplistic music video. • Planning –My planning was completely different to my finished product. The planning was smooth and was successful but my time management let me down and I had a week to film the music video and edit it so I had to revert to a plan B which did not take too long to edit or film. The planning did not cause me too many problems and ran smoothly, and it did not effect the final product. • Next steps – The way I changed my video was to go for a very simple approach with the shots being simple and the music being simple. The video was heavily influenced by the Radiohead song music I was using in my music video. I went with this approach to help with my time management, so I went with a really simple video. The next time we do a film product I will take into account the amount of time I have to film and edit to avoid having to go to a plan B which does not reflect my skill and the detail in my original idea.

  EDITING – IMPORTING FOOTAGE Thisis where you can import your clips into premiere. First you get the SD card from the camera and download your footage from the SD card into a folder you can locate quickly. You can either drag the footage from your desktop straight to premiere, or you can select edit and click import to get your footage onto premiere. To get audio onto your video you will have to use a YouTube to mp3 converter to download your song onto your computer then use the same method to get it onto premiere. I stored all my footage/audio in my music video folder on my desktop then stored the footage and audio in their appropriate folder in that folder

  EDITING – ASSEMBLY EDITAND REFINEMENT The way I structured my clips was very simple s my music video was simple itself. I dragged the clips I had filmed onto the timeline and cut them appropriately, by cutting the shots to line up with the previous and the next. This was to create the effect of the character moving through these locations with each shot. The way
