Having To Cancel Filming

During the holidays I was unable to film when I wanted to, as at the last minute I had to babysit, and it was also bad weather. I will arrange for a date as soon as I can when I go back to school and then I will quickly be able to complete my filming.

My Chosen Music Channel

After researching into different music channels, I have decided that the one that I will use is MTV Music. I chose this one because I believe that my chosen artist 'The Script' would appear more on this channel. I also chose this one because the channel has the same target audience that my artist does, so it appealed to me more. This channel would also be beneficial for my choice of song as it has it's website, so has even more chance of being able to promote music.

Research Into Music Channels

Today I have been researching into Music Channels that my music video could appear on. I looked into what genre of videos the channels generally broadcast. After researching into different music channels, the three below would all be suitable to promote my chosen song and my music video.


VIVA generally broadcasts music from the genre pop and rock. Every day VIVA will also showcase the hottest new music with the exclusive Official UK Charts, themed programmes hosted by top names, with it's own website.This would be a suitable channel for my video to appear in because my song fits this criteria.

This is a similar channel to VIVA, and also has the same target audience, and it promotes the most recent music and includes interviews from a wide range of artists. This channel promotes music from pop and rock, so this would also be a suitable channel for my video to appear in. It also has it's own website. This music channel has the same target audience that my music video will.













This is a music and entertainment channel and has its own website which appeals to the younger generation as well as my target audience. It also features music from the pop rock 
genre, which would suit my chosen music video. 

Experimenting With My Footage

I loaded my footage onto Final Cut today and started editing some together to see what some of it looks like, and how much more I need to do to. From looking at the footage that I have, I have realised that I still need a fair amount of footage, but I would be able to get the footage in the holidays. I put together some of my introduction, to see how well the different shots go together and to see if it looks realistic. I also have put together some of the lip syncing to see how effective it looks. I found it quite easy to put this part together in time to the music and thought that it looked effective. This has also helped me to visualise what the final video will look like, and how the other footage that I film will fit into my music video.

I noticed that some of my footage was slightly grainy, but this will be easy to resolve. I plan to edit these parts, such as the scene above, in black and white, to make it look better. Some shots are also slightly shaky, but I will also edit these to stop them looking like this, or I will cut some of this out of the video.

Importing My Track To Final Cut Express

I imported my song into final cut express ready to be edited with my footage that I have uploaded.

Arranging A Date For Filming

To complete my filming, I need to go out and film in the holidays so I will book out a camera and tripod over the holidays. I have arranged with Steph, Liam and Matthew to go out and film on Tuesday 20th December. We arranged this particular time as this is when we are all free I plan to film some scenes of Steph and Liam together and also Matthew, and the scene to go with the lyrics "you took the suitcase, I took the blame" I also plan to get some point of view shots from my artists point of view and also I am planning to get some photographs. After I have done this filming, I will only need to do a little but more after christmas holidays during school time.
