My music video so far

With having difficulties to get much filming done since January, I haven't been able to progress much when it comes to the editing of my work. On the other hand, now that me and Jodee have got our university interviews out of the way we have time to work on my music video. The editing is the hardest part I did over 3 minutes worth of filming in the space of an hour and when it came to edit it, it was a minute long which is not including my first shootings. I will be able to break some shots down, so it is not the same location all the way through - I am talking about the last section of my video I have edited so far which was taking in the studio, once I have filmed in the pool, I will be able to make it much more interesting as the scene will be broken up by different locations (studio and underwater scenes of jodee sinking to the bottom to represent her decline in life due to drink and drugs). 

I had trouble uploading my file to youtube from final cut pro as it would not work when I typed in my youtube username and password when I knew they were correct as its the same password and user name for my blogger account to get on to this. I was able to upload the video with no sound however it wouldn't allow me to with the sound, I filmed the second video on my mobile so there is background noise from other students but you can here the music and rhythmic transitions I have made. As I plan to resolve this problem next week, I should have to raw copy online as soon as possible with my music on it aswell.

As you can see when watching the second video, it finishes just as my third scene (studio) is about to begin. I don;'t understand why this happened but I think as I uploaded it from my phone the APP limited the amount of the video I could upload. From looking at the top video you can see that I have continued from the bathroom scene in development of the abstract video and music as the beat gets heavier and rockier after the point it stops. 

Likes and dislikes to my video and what I can do to adapt my work to look more professional/interesting 

From what I have created so far, my favourite aspects are the scenes in the bath room because the rhythmic edits create realism to my product and makes the video interesting as the edits are quick and sharp which work much better then the bedroom scene. To adapt my bedroom scene to make it much more interesting, I will include quick little shots of Jodee sinking to the bottom of the pool to show her decline into the drug scene. By doing this, I will create a meta narrative for a stereotypical drug user to get deeper into the use of drugs. Another aspect I like of my video is the quick abstract scenes I did in the studio which appear in the video when the song gets to the chorus.

I still need to film and do a photoshoot at Beverley swimming baths and pre drinks at Jodee's house to complete my filming for my music video. After that I will be staying late on nights at college to make sure I get my work completed for April. Hopefully by getting the rest of my filming done in the next week or two I will meet my end of March/start of April deadline.
