Music video production: Mid progress review

(18th November 2013)
I am currently half way through my music video production but I have had some problems along the way.

1. Since doing the lighting check for my music video in order to see when the best times for filming would be - the evening have become increasingly darker earlier than expected. Therefore the footage is a lot darker than I wanted meaning that the amount of usable footage is filmed each day.
Therefore I will have to film on the 20th of November all the shots than need to be redone.

2. The second problem was that I was let down by my lead female as she wasn't able to film on the 13th of November. After searching around I found a friend to use that wasn't originally auditioned due to work commitments. Although this new lead female works well with the lead male and fits the part of the role, they were not my number one choice because I didn't want to put extra work load on Hannah Adams. .

3. I am also having a problem with uploading some images to my blog (hence the missing Pre Production work that will be uploaded when the problem is sorted.)
The documents that are done but still need to be uploaded with pictures are:
- Make up tests,
- Lighting tests,
- Deconstruction of slow motion/backwards music videos


Areas that are going well:
The editing and music video production as a whole is going well. The only sections left to film are the second date scene in the theater (19th November), some lip syncing needs to be refilmed in the woods (in daylight) and some shots to go in between cuts to make each cut smoother.
The rough cutting for each clip that has been filmed so far is complete and so now there are only some effects that need to be added.
The slow motion, reversed section at the end of the mucis video looks really good and the fathers work really well.

Update on timetoast:
 - So far my timing plan for all the filming is going accordingly to plan as I have filmed the sections that I had planned to on all of the planned filming days. However I will need to do some extra pick ups as I am not completely happy with the quality in one section due to the lighting so this section will need to be rearranged to be filmed again.
- In terms of editing, so far I am ahead of my plan as I have done rough cuts and therefore found the clips that I will use however the editing is not completely finished with the fancy speed changes and repetitions in the end section of the music video.
