This week I have really started to make a dent on the work associated with the music video and it is because so far I haven't completed any footage. Therefore, this week was essential for me, as I needed to make sure that some sort of footage was filmed and edited so that I could build from that.

Luckily, I have been able to complete that this week; as I have filmed all the scenes that I planned on the storyboard that needed to be filmed at Greenwich park. The shoot was a success though took a long time to film and travel there and back. As well as this I got the chance to actually edit this footage too; which meant that I finally had something, next to the track in the final cut pro document. I found it quite difficult to edit though as I didn't really know the whole pace of the video yet as the other footage was not completed. I also found it difficult to use the equipment as although, I have used final cut pro before and know the basics, there are things more advance that I need to conquer such as using, effects, the toolbar down the side of the timeline and exporting clips. Though, I think becoming better at this programme will only come with experience of use and continuing to make the video.

I also amongst filming the Greenwich park footage and editing, got to refocus my digi-pak. Which allowed me to consider how to add some conventions to the digi-pak in the Photoshop document.

I found this quite fun as with every layer that was getting put onto the document, the more professional the layout was becoming. Though I did keep having some problems with the tools as, with the magic wand kept selecting everything to get rid of. Meaning I spent quit e a long time trying to deselect everything. For this exact reason I moved the document from Photoshop elements 10toS6 as it meant that I could just free transform the document and it work better for me and quicker.

I plan to in the next upcoming week, continue filming footage for the music video and hopefully improving the digi-pak and consider the poster.
