Notes on Editing- Emma
As Amy posted, we have now finished the music video editing as I added the final effects to it today. These video transitions and colour effects were added to create a certain atmosphere. To some shots we added an effect called threshold which distorts the colour and adds a nostalgic element to give the impression of a memory which relates to the song lyrics. We also chose to have most of the video in black and white to give a more abstract and subdued feel to link with the indie genre.
Adding transitions to the shots aswell allows the video to run smoother altogether.

Music Video Distrubution- Emma
- Distribution is introducing and sustaining the sale of products in the market place. Therefore, music video distribution is all about attracting attention to the band/artist through their songs and music videos.
- This is the final stage, where the film is released to an audience, to consumer media or direct download from a provider. The film is duplicated as required for distribution to music channels and the internet.
- Press kits, posters, and other advertising materials are published and the video is advertised.The distribution rights for the music video are also usually sold for worldwide distribution. The distributor and the production company share profits.
- Youtube is the 2nd largest search engine next to Google.
- Many people search for music on YouTube and other online video websites.
- If we were to distribute our music video we would take all these factors into consideration. Plus the magazine article and possibly featuring the video as a bonus on the bands album would create more distribution.
final Editing - Amy
Continueing from yesterday, we finished off with allocating shots this morning and then developed shots transitions and some effects such as black and white. Lastly, Emma finished editing the last 50seconds of the video later on in the day.

recording and editing - Amy
Due to the bad quality of the previous voice recording we've decided to re - recording today. After that we uploaded the piece on to the MAC and used Garage Band to add some effects to the recording so it would bring out a different outcome to the music video. Lastly we managed to complete and song and nearly finishing with allocating all the shots in different places, so tomorrow and friday we will be finishing with the effects and transitions.
With the digi pack, every image have now been taken and edited.

Recorded the music (summery) - Amy
We have finally recorded the music on to a recording tool. We were arranging to book the studio to recorded but however the Music teacher of our college is not avaliable so we had to find other solutions such as trying to recorded on the normaly PC, recording on other tools such as MP3, recorder, iPhone etc.

Meeting - Amy Kong
As we are now stuck with the music, the only possible things to do in this period while we are trying to sort out the problem is to edit the video that we have previously recorded. Basically, we are going to cut out parts that included the previous singer and hopefully still be able to the close up shots. The video of the short film with not be affected.
Meeting- Emma Murphy
Due to lack of communication/connection with the band members we were unfortuntely unable to record the song and vocals again. We realise that as a result of this we are running out of time to edit the film and are now thoroughly planning a time in which all band members will be able to do.
However, we have learnt from this, that in the industry you have to make sure that artists that you are recording with are able to cooperate and commmunication has to constantly be strong.

Meeting- Hania
Today we finally managed to rehearse the vocals properly however their singer had pulled out of the band therefore Emma had to stand in and sing. Therefore some of our previous work have to be re - recorded and As we were just about the record Mr Mann the music teacher at Impington suggested to us we record in the recording studio and get microphones to make the sound a lot clearer and better.
