I am currently putting together a short video to show the raw footage that I have collected. As ive only got the footage I have filmed in Trafalga I have left a space to place my green screen and also other footage that I plan to film in the next few weeks. I am going to book a green screen session for next week. I will then be able to to start editing when we come back after the half term. Not only this I am going to take a camera and tripod home so that I can film over the half term to. The more footage the have the better, as it will allow me to have a varied amount of shots.
I am looking forward to filming on green screen as it will be a new skill that I can learn and use in future projects. I plan to mostly use green screen to film shots where my friends are singing the lyrics to the song. There will be extreme close ups on their lips with bright red or pink lipstick on singing the main lyrics of the song 'I dont care, I love it'. This will make a statement and will drive the main message of the song to the audience.

Audience feedback and an insight of what I have done so far
Heres an example of my questionnaire that has been filled out by a person from my target audience.
They seem to agree that I should use green screen in my music video which I plan to do in the next few weeks. As well as this they feel props and costume are of great importance to. I have got this covered as I am going to make my artists change their outfits everytime I film and I also have interseting props such as a penny board and sparklers.
This is the original powerpoint that I used when presenting.

Diary entry 11/9/13
Recently I havent been doing as much work as I should be doing, I still have a lot to do and this includes filiming my actual music video. I am currently in the middle of completeing my final storyboards, which will give me an idea of what type of shots and camera movements I wish to have in my music video. I plan to film again either this weekend or next weekend as both my friends are free to do so. I may go up to London to film some scenes, however I am not to sure on this idea yet as London is usually very busy and my friends may feel embarrassed performing. Not only this, I need to learn to use After Effects so that I can edit in some special effects to my music video. I feel that After Effects will help convey the 'festival/party' theme of my music video, for example I could add in high key lighting, and also flashing lights to act as strobes.

Editing Software
Throughout my project I will be using multiple software's to make sure that I create and maintain a professional and successful music video. Software's that I will be regularly using include Adobe Photoshop and also Premiere. I may also have to use a software called Adobe After Effects which will allow me to add in effects to my shots, if they are needed. I have never used this software before so I will have to get to grips with it first.
I will be using Adobe Photoshop to edit the images for my digipak and also for my magazine advert. Photoshop has a variety of tools that will help me to make my images look professional, for example, one tool that I will use regularly is the tool that lets me remove the background (if needed) from the image. I will also be able to use visual effects, which will make my images optically enjoyable and interesting for the audience. Using a range of effects such as filters, will allow the audience to see the skill that I have in Photoshop, which I have gradually gained over years of using it. Not only this, I can use Photoshop to create my digipak and my magazine advert, therefore making this software a very useful and important part of my project.
Next, I will be using Adobe Premiere throughout the majority of my project to edit and piece together my music video, shot by shot. As I have only just recently learnt how to use Premiere I have not perfected the skill of using it yet. I have however, learnt the basics due to the fact I have used it to create mini videos and presentations. I will first start to use this software by placing all my clips onto a timeline and removing their audio. I will then import my song onto the timeline and will start arranging and piecing together the clips, so that my music video flows together nicely, creating and easy and enjoyable watch for my audience.
Lastly, I could potentially use Adobe After Effects to add special effects into my music video. As I wish to have a summery theme throughout my music video, I could use this software to make my clips have high key lighting if I feel the natural lighting is not enough. As I have never used this software before it will be hard to grasp at first, however it will be great to learn to use a new software, as it will broaden my skills. I feel that this could be very useful to my music video as the weather in England is very rarely sunny and bright, and we are heading into Autumn which means the weather is only going to get worse, so After Effects could help me create the feeling of summer I wish to include in my music video.
