The document provides guidance for tracking the production process of creating a music video. It outlines sections for filming and editing with prompts to describe technical issues, logistics, personnel, planning, and next steps for filming and notable moments, decisions, problems, and lessons learned for editing. For filming, the creator had issues with camera equipment but solved it by switching to a phone camera. Locations worked but weather caused delays and some locations had lighting problems. Crew and casting went well without issues. Planning was difficult due to changing ideas but a solid plan was eventually made. For editing, using effects and filters looked good aesthetically but audio syncing was a struggle and technical issues caused work to be restarted multiple times and lost.

PROCESS LOG
YOUR NAME

2. PRODUCTION LOG:
GUIDANCE
• This document is for you to track the progress of your
production – filming, editing and post-production.
• This is so you can track what you did and how you did it,
explaining and amendments and changes you made and
tracking the decisions that have shaped the practical
creation of your music video.
• The more detail you include about how you made your music
video, the better. The document is broken down in to two
sections, Filming and Editing, each of these is then made of
specific elements that occur in both.
• For each slide there is a prompt detailing what you should
include, delete the prompt after you have complete the slide.
• Remember, images often show what you’ve done more
effectively than words. Use text to explain an illustration.

3. FILMING
Explain what worked and didn’t work about your filming and how you
managed this covering the following areas:
• Technical – using the cameras and any technical equipment; this
could be how you did your lip sync, used the green screen, dealt
with problems with batteries, etc
• Logistical – did your locations work? Did you have any access
problems? Did it rain?
• Personnel – how were your cast/crew? Did anyone let you down?
How did you manage this?
• Planning – did your planning help? Do you think it could have
worked better? How?
• Next steps – do you need to re-film? Film more? Have you
changed your video? How/why?

4. TECHNICAL
When I was recording my music video I firstly tried to use a
professional camera but I didn’t like how the footage turned
out so I had to change and use my iPhone camera. This
didn’t really effect me a huge amount it was just quite time
consuming as I had to delay it one more day.

5. LOGISTICAL
I think my locations did fit very well with the song for my
music video but when I was doing this I did have some
problems with the weather when I was recording as it was
raining when I wanted to film so I actually had to wait a
couple of days until I could do it.
There was also a problem with some of the lighting in the
locations, as I wanted to film in the dark, in some occasions
you couldn’t really see faces or any movement so I had to
change places.

6. PERSONNEL
My cast crew was good and I didn’t get let down, I personally
think they did the best they could and I was happy of the
outcome with my music video.

7. PLANNING
My planning was a tricky one for me as I kept changing ideas
and I couldn’t stick to one final idea but when I eventually
came up with a solid idea planning went well.

8. EDITING
• Record your edit progress, decisions, problems, etc. in
this section
• Include screenshots with annotations, statements, etc
where possible
• Try to explain how you worked and justify why you chose
to work the way you did.
• Follow the structure and what to include on each slide as
this is necessary for evidence for assessment
• Pick notable moments in the editing process and discuss
them, what worked/didn’t work and why, how you adjusted
to problems. Discuss how you worked and what you
learned from the process

9. WHAT WENT WELL
I think when I was editing what went well was that when I
used different filters and effects tit looked aesthetically
pleasing with the song I chose.

10. WHAT PROBLEMS DID
YOU HAVE?
When I was editing my music video I had a struggle with
matching up the audio with the footage that I recorded as I
thought that it was all synced but it turns out there was a
certain part that wasn’t.Another problem I had was I restarted
editing like 3 times because I had technical problems and it
wasn’t saving in the place I wanted it to and deleted all my
work.
