Tonight we completed our filming for our final version of our music video.
Although now we have to edit and complete the video by Friday 3:10 and put it on DVD.

I will update blog with evidence of filming etc tomorrow.

By the way if I haven't already posted about our final choice of editing software we will be using Sony's Vegas Pro 9

Tonight, we filmed our story scenes of our draft, we are missing about two or three shots as it got too dark for us to film any more, but we are very happy with the shots that we got, tonight.

We now have to edit our filming and put it together as a draft film by Friday, which I fully believe can be done. As we are using our own software we will have access to it at home as well as school, which should allow us more time to complete the editing.

I had an idea for our music video,
We could use black and white shots for the husband when he finds out about his wife cheating on him, and colour for the wife, when she is cheating on her husband. I think this would look good because we could use the colour to represent the happiness of the wife and the black and white shots would show disappointment, upset, depression, unhappiness etc in the husbands feelings.

We could also change the wife's colour shots to black and white at the end after she slaps him and she realises what's she's doing. (I don't think this is as good an ideas as the first but I still like it, although I'm not sure how well it would work).

depending on the filming equipment we have, we plan on using a school camera and Darren's camera, I believe we might be able to film in black and white although it would probably look better if we filmed all in colour and added the black and white effects after production by using Sony's Vegas Pro 9 editing software.



(This last photo should be in colour although I thought it was appropriate to our narrative)


I also think we could maybe add in something similar to this, during editing (I believe with the software we are going to use it is), it would look best right towards the end.

This is the official Music Video but it was never released to the media to be shown on places like VIVA or 4Music as it was too long.

This is the version which was released to be shown TV channels, etc.


30 Seconds To Mars made this video for From Yesterday in China, it's believed to be the first video from an american band to be made entirely in "The Peoples of republic China", it is filmed inside of a chinese fort/monestry. The video like Foo Fighters Monkey Wrench and Red Hot Chili Peppers Can't Stop, is also Disjunctive. The video has no apparent relation between the lyrics and the video.

Like most music videos of the rock genre this doesn't consist of the male gaze, although there are four girls in the video the shots aren't meant to be in the form of male gaze.

Andrew Goodwin's disjunctive theories have been applied to this music video, as it has  no apparent relation between the lyrics and the shots in the video. The narrative of the video is that it's a Chinese emperors birthday and he requests 30 Seconds To Mars, They are given a gift, which is Chinese warrior armer, they then start to battle with others until it's just those four left. This is where the music and the video finishes.

They don't use special effects as we would normally think of them e.g. bomb explosions etc but they use effects such as subtitles, Fireworks in the Background, Battle scenes.

Editing and Filming
In the music video the large majority of the shots are taken from a motionless position and are transitioned between each different angle/location without there being an obvious transition slide between them. , and I hope it isn't for ours.The editing method used in the music video is called Continuity editing or invisible editing, as this type of editing doesn't draw attention to it from the audience.
