During our planning we almost spend 20% of our time thinking about how our music video is going to look like. (eJ) This included our planning for the pitch as well. we spent 10% of our time on the preproduction section , this is where we ran some test shots then uploaded and testes some of our effects, rehearsed some of the shots and scouted areas to shoot such as the crown court car park.we also spent 20% of our time shooting , which wasn't as much as we were planning to shoot for. We actually needed less time to film than what we thought.We then spent 40% of our time on the editing , because of the effects we wanted in our video , we tried to set aside as much time as we could for our editing.Then we spent the last 10% of our time to sort out the transitions and make sure the effects were all running smooth (which we did at the end of they editing, most of the effects had been done during the editing stage.)(Jamal)

My role in this group was to be the editor. My job was to upload all the footage into the time line, lip sync the whole footage into the music, organize the footage in accordance to the whole story in which we want to show our music video. It was quite hard to work at first because our first idea didn't actually work with our genre. so we re-drafted our first plan and came up with another concept idea of just having performance because it was quite hard to base our story to the lyrics. with the new footage it was quite easy to play around with the footage because its a performance music video. during the editing i tried mixing a lot of shot and tried a lot of effects. and at some point i tried putting layers to the footage to make the effect of having black and white with colors on it. it took time and effort but at the end it was worth it.
