Album Artwork Research: Taylor Swift

I edited in the other lesson
- in sync again
- new chair bit
- bed bit
- not happy with that

Tomorrow I have a free period at the same time the other A2 media studies class has their lesson. Apparently, the editing station I use is always vacant during this time so I might go to their lesson and edit a couple of things and try to get the odd frame more in sync, as although Amy and Sophie think it's fine as it is, I still think it's a little bit out. I won't change much, and I'll make sure I remember what I've changed in case Sophie or Amy don't like the alterations. I might also try to experiment with new transitions and effects as we've been purely altering the speed of clips so far, and cutting.

We edited stufff lol

As we got to class today our editing station mac had "don't touch" on it, so we weren't allowed to use it for fifteen minutes due to other groups converting files. Amy and Sophie began logging onto their blogs, but it was taking a long time to load, so I suggested quickly asking to borrow a picture camera, and walk around to locations we shot in last week to take still images to add to our blogs. We also took a group photograph so that you can see who we are and a photograph of Rhys. We're now waiting for them to transfer from the memory card, before spending the next hour and a half editing new footage.

Today I found Amy period one which we both have free, to discuss today's filmings. Yesterday she had said that we might as well get some filming done, so I brought in the list of what we have left to do. I ruled out anything outdoors as the weather was bad, we couldn't do the band or corridor things, so that left just the rest to film in the bedroom. We agreed to do it at a later date though as Amy had a history test to revise for and therefore didn't want to give up today's frees as she needed them for revision, so we decided to use the time to catch up on editing instead.

In order to keep track of what we have done so far and what we have left still to shoot, I went through my notes and higlighted the lines we haven't recorded anything for yet. I then categorised the lines into location categories. This way I can comprehend easier roughly how long each section should take, and therefore which sections will take an entire filming session and which we can combine. Doing this also showed that we have a lot more to do.

Bedroom
"Won't make you many friends" - sat at a desk screwing up paper into balls and throwing them at a caged, already-full bin
"I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey,you might have him, but I always get the last word" - (see storyboard for details)

Diary
"The story starts when it was hor and it was summer and, I had it all I had him right there where I wanted him" - High angle in field, inventive camera work - a mix-match of shots
"I never saw it coming"
"Soon she's gunna find"
"And, she thinks I'm psycho cos I like to rhyme her name with things" - Wide eyes, camera revolved around her head and focuses on the writing on the diary pages. Possible jump cuts here?
"Soon she's gunna find" - looking up from the diary
"She took him faster than you can say sabotage" - Slam diary shut, looking more upset and tearful than angry

Band
"Nor did I suspected it"
"She's not a saint"
"Oh they don't teach you that in prep school"
"She's not a saint, and she's not what you think"
"There is nothing I do better than revenge"
"Woah" (after "but I always get the last word")
"On the playground"
"There is nothing I do better than"
"Let's hear the applause"
"Cos you're so much better"

Taxi
"Revenge" - Getting into taxi, very drunk
"Cause I don't think you do" - blurred - sped up footage from out the window (dark, lights) Zooms out to reveal my face
"Oh" - Jump cut
"Do you still feel like you know what you're doing" - Face-on to camera, singing into the lens, clear that she's drunk
"I don't think you do, I don't think you do" - Looks down, still miming, nearly crying/crying

Prom
"C'mon show me how much better you are" - Walking behind Amy "COME ON!"
"See you deserve some applause" - Face on tp Tayler, clapping, aggressive
Turns up at the prom, completely drunk, a mess. Rhys looks concerned, feeling guilty. Blackout as a door slams - The end

Corridor
"She lives her life like it's a party and she's on the list" - either at a real party, or we'll compose one in a concrete, indoor school corridor to imitate one
