Production Update (1.12.14)

With the Christmas break approaching I have a few weeks to produce a rough cut of my video to "Real Talk". As a result from the last update, the storyboards have been changed in that the character that would represent the artist is now not going to appear and the video will focus on the narrative aspect of the two characters.

Character 1 is played by Elliott Doyle. Most of his sections are now filmed, all that is left is the Church sequence where I need to film Elliott on his own in Taverham Church as this is the local church, and film some shots of him to portray how he is questioning his faith, pertinent to the lyrics of hope and believing in the song. I also need to film him with the female who will be his partner in the video, and I know who can play this role. On the same shoot I will get some shots of them to integrate alongside the shots of Elliott looking distressed.

Character 2 is played by Tom Seago and again the majority of the shots I need for his section have been shot, uploaded and edited, which include the forest and beach sections. All that is left now is for him to be re-united with his friends and to be shown having a good time with them. I should be able to film parts of this whenever throughout the next couple of weeks before the break, notably this coming Sunday and the next few Sundays as well as at a few other times.

Once these sections are filmed, I should be able to just put these straight into Final Cut, as whilst I'm filming sections I am simultaneously editing my video. I have completed about 1/2 of the video with a few things to put in here and there to make it more coherent. I've done the intro and first verse, end of the second verse, and then the instrumental to the last chorus. I am happy with the current progress I am making and how it is coming towards the finished rough cut.
