Deleated scenes

During the production of my filming there were clips that where out-takes and them clips where not used  in the final product. Although there was a substantial amount of filming done for the full production some for the excess footage was left behind because of the several reasons.

• The first two clips were examples of direction and when I have begun filming. This is necessary for actors and the performers to know when the camera is rolling it is inevitable that this parts would be in the scene, the power of editing would remove the unwanted footage and keep the rest of the footage. In the clips Gabby is given direction when to start dancing, this will allow me to cut the area I require while she is in full motion, this would produce the continuity we strive for.
• The 3rd and 4th clips where deleted scenes because, after taking advice from the audience the idea of having a narrative of that context within the footage is difficult to work around especially with the tempo of the song. There has to be a certain level of movement rather than staying static. Moreover the problem with the footage is that what I was aiming to do is match on action and that didn’t seem too effective during a music video. If there is a narrative that is being explained it would require a montage of different locations and scene however having understandable narrative.
• The fourth clip was deleted for the soul purpose of that it was a long clip with music video there has to be relatively quick transition that are either interesting or abstract. If you are going for an elongated clip it would have to be assertive to the audience and instantly draws their attention.
• Finally this was the main part of the production this was filmed and the intention was to make it part of the final cut. However, form the audience feedback of the rough cut the footage that was taken was not of a very high standard. It meant that there was room for improvement, which I agreed on the fact that my camera work wasn’t tested to the maximum potential. In the second trail there wasn't good communication between the artist and I. there was problems with the costumes, so my instant though was rather than delaying any more time we it would be more practical to film again.
• Furthermore, with the opportunity of filming again, I had gained previous experience from the last time I was filming, so I was more equipped to take on the challenge. The areas that needed to be improved such as the camera work the lip syncing needed to be more precious and exaggerated in order to make the editing section of the project easier.

Nevertheless, there were some scene that where deleted, however that’s the advantage of having a lot of footage, there was some footage that I wanted to deleted however I changed my mind and still used some of the footage to my advantage.  This has taught me to be more organised in what I want before I begin production, I may have a clear idea of my treatment, however I need to be more prepared and look at the physical environment before I start filming. Looking at factor such as light, obstacles and ambience, these elements can affect the overall filming production. The organised plan would provide you with clear structure of how you want things done that was painted in the final image in the mind.
