The Video that we chose to replicate is Weatus - Teenage dirtbag, The Reason we chose to replicate this video is due to the college setting and the fact there is nothing too farfetched within there video, so we can replicate everything that happens in there video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jJVRcCdvyY&ob=av2e
We learnet many diffrent technuiques when we were making our music video such as:
The use of the camera - so how to set it up and create the correct modes for the camera to be in such as the shutter speed - PAL 24 Frames per second.
The computer shortcuts when using the specific Final cut programme. and how to create the linear structure of the video and the diffrent types of edit. Assembely edit where you cut out the poor shots leave the good ones and put them in order. The rough edit where you define how the shots flow and start putting it to music , and finally the final cut where you tweak the cuts and how they flow and add any effects that you may want.
We also learnet the use of a shooting script and a clapper board and how this makes it alot eaier after you have finnished filming to filter through and find the clips that you have decided are the best. Communication on set was a key part of us filming our video as we found out how to strat the clip with 'Speed' so everyone is ready and 'cut' at the end to make sure everyone knows the clip has finnished.
When setting up the camera we needed to learn how to mount the camera onto the tri-pod, the reason we use the tri-pod was to gove us a certian amount of stability and is particuularly useful when you need to zoom, pan, or tilting the camera, the cameras at our college have a spirit level attached to them meaning we can set up a exact horizontal shot
Before taking the first shot in the video, you need to set up the white balance, as the camera sets its self up differnetly in certian conditions ie outside or inside, so you need to change the white balance so it is set to the correct setting so when you film the colours look correct and defined, when outside the camera should be set to 'Daytime Filming' otherwise the film will have a blue tinge to it , and when inside you should set it to 'artificial light'. this relates into the expose as when filming with the Canon XM2 cameras we needed to use the maual settings to make sure the footage is too light or dark, you can chage the expose with a combination of the shutter speed , Aperture and Gain.
we also needed to change the depth of feild with the focal range of the camera so we needed to create a shallow or narrow depth of feild and you can create an effect of having someone in the front out of focus whereas the person behind is in focus.

There is still a lot of work to do here and the blog is very text heavy - use clips and images to illustrate your points.
