This week we re-filmed the footage that needed to be improved for our music video. After watching what we already had we felt that more angles of the main artist were needed as it kept cutting from Josh and I back to Chris being is the same position. 

It was an idea of mine from the start, to film in the drama studio as there was different type of lighting and a stage that we could use. It wasn't until we needed a new place to film we thought of actually using the drama room to record in. We also thought of recording in the music room however, due to lack of time and management this couldn't happen. The key aim of re-filming was to get a verity of angles of Chris singing in different locations and positions and this was done successful. 

In the moment I thought that we should take advantage of the time we had in the music room to take pictures for the digipack as it still needed a lot of work. I took the lead in directing what angles, poses and lighting we should use in the photos that we were shooting. I felt Samantha helped a lot in terms of helping me agree on the positions we used as she has also done a lot of camera work before.

Putting it all together. Editing was the main focus during this week, having recorded most footage we could start editing. Knowing we had to face challenges at some point we came across cutting to the beat. Samantha wanted to cut to a different beat than to me however, I realised that my beat was only for the beginning of the song and that it dint continue throughout the whole song.  I particularity found working with Chris the most challenging as his lip syncing was terrible and we realised this while editing due to this we had to re film as no matter what me and Sam done while editing, the footage and his singing wasn't in sync.
