Rough Cut Screenig

Today we showed the class what we had done soo far and explained what still had to come.

Editing 2

We shot the performance scene of future yesterday, so we added it to our music video today, the process is almost done now

Editing

We spent this week adding out location shots we did on the weekend to our music video

Filming; Model change (Team meeting)

Unfortunately our female artist dropped out, therefore we had to find an alternative immediately and redo the shots we had done with her, which as a huge setback but, eventually went well. we still kept the shots we done of our male artist.

Filming

Unfortunately we came across some footage that was out of focus, so we had to redo our performance scenes.

Team meeting

Today my group were watching over the performance footage we did over the half term. Overall everything came out good with no serious problems.

FILMING

Today we started to shoot scene 6 but only managed to do a small section as we only had a short time to film. We had both our characters who practiced their lines and movement infront of the camera. We had Shakera as the director, Mariam helping with the lyrics and music and I set up lighting and camera. Although we filmed in front green screen were planning on also filming with a white/black back drop for a full effect.

Changes to the group &

She was not getting along with her group and we felt she would be a huge asset to ours.

Copyright clearance (Def jam)

We had to email def jam records as they are Rihannas record label, to ask permission for us to use the song (Love song) for our media music video. (Copyright clearance)

Lyrics to chosen song

[Hook: Future]

I don't wanna give you the wrong impression
I need love and affection
And I hope I'm not sounding to desperate
I need love and affection
Love Love Love
Love and affection
Love Love
L-o-v-e-e-e and affection

 

[Verse 1: Rihanna]

Oh baby I'm not asking for the world maybe
You can give me what I want baby
Come hold me tight and when I'm drowning save me
Give it to me on a daily
If I'm your girl say my name boy
Let me know I'm in control
We both grown so how we feel we can let it show
I won't play around
I wanna lay you down
I need you now
I need you now ohhhhh

 

[Hook: Future]

I don't wanna give you the wrong impression
I need love and affection
And I hope I'm not sounding to desperate
I need love and affection
Love Love Love
Love and affection
Love Love
L-o-v-e and affection

 

[Verse 2: Rihanna]

Boy lately you've been stingy with your time
Got me wondering I'm wondering
If I'm on your mind
Boy I just wanna be in your possession
Saying I'm the one you want
So come express it
Don't slip don't slip
Cause a n**** might push up on it
Don't really wanna lose this moment
Why window shop
When you own this
I Don't put it down
I Don't fuck around
I want you now
I want you now ohhhhh

 

[Hook: Future]

I don't wanna give you the wrong impression
I need love and affection
And I hope I'm not sounding to desperate
I need love and affection
Love Love Love
Love and affection
Love Love
L-o-v-e and affection

 

[Verse 3: Future]

Can you love me for poor
I'm searching for my soul
Who ever turned you cold
You need to let him know
I can work miracles
I'll work your physical
And when I love you close
You can feel my heart
Beating through my clothes

 

[Hook: Rihanna & Future]

I don't wanna give you the wrong impression
I need love and affection
And I hope I'm not sounding to desperate
I need love and affection
Love Love Love
Love and affection
Love Love
L-o-v-e and affection
