The document summarizes a student's process of filming and editing a music video over 4 days. It went well that the student was able to film at their planned location and get a variety of shots. During editing, using markers helped time cuts to the beat. Challenges included not being able to film some planned shots and accidentally deleting edited footage which had to be redone. The student's plans were to complete the editing by adding effects and submitting the final video.

2. Filming- What Went Well?
What went well-
I was able to film at my planned location, I was able to film lots of
footage from there for my video. It was also quiet and there was lots
available at my location to film/capture so I was able to get a variety of
shots of the different displays without any disruptions.

3. Filming- What Didn’t Go Well?
What Didn’t Go Well-
At the museum, not all the displays were open due to COVID so I was
unable to get specific shots I had planned to take on my storyboard.
When filming my time-lapse, I was unable to successfully capture a
‘sunset view’ with one of my time-lapses so I only have
evening/nighttime shots for my time-lapses.

4. Filming- What Have You Learnt?
What I Learnt-
Whilst shooting my video, I learned how to properly use my camera, as I
never had the opportunity to properly test it out. I also learned different
shots and angles to take.

5. Editing- How Did You Start?
How I Started:
I started in college this morning. I had my footage saved on a USB stick
so it was easy to transfer. I was able to quickly start editing on Adobe
Premiere Pro, which I have been editing on throughout the day.

What Went Well-
I have been able to successfully edit the beginning and intro of my music
video and I am starting to plan and work on the outro. I also figured out
how to add a color overlay/ filter to my footage which I will be able to
add at the end when I’ve finished editing.

Plans for Tomorrow-
In preparation for tomorrows lesson, tonight I will plan out the layout of

song, as well as check over my already edited footage to make sure the
cuts are well timed, etc.

10. What went well:
I was able to successfully keyframe a small clip to zoom out, as my
original shot was poor quality. I have also been using markers to
help time the cuts to the beat, which has been helpful.
