The Black Keys - Frame by Frame remake

To get the shots we did we followed our shot list almost as we intended too, except we ended up having to shoot a few of the shots in the next few lessons as some of them didn't go as planned and/or weren't as good as expected. All of the shots of the girl were shot in lesson 2 of the filming process, this was because we needed to find a girl to be in it for us, as all of us were already in it at some point. Once we found a girl those shots didn't take long to film, this was good as it gave us more time editing it all together. 
The fighting scene was probably the hardest bits to edit because we shot those shots to make sure we had the bits we needed, which meant the shots were really long so we could have a choice between either a couple of shots or a long shot that we had to cut down, this was good though because in the end it looks good and we ended up having those shots done perfectly in order to get the rest done as we needed it to be. The fighting scene was also hard as we had alot of match-on-action that we had to get perfect or it wouldn't look good, this meant re-shooting a few of the shots over and over until we got the exact angle correct or the movement of the person exactly as we needed it to be to look like the video we are remaking. However once we got the match-on-action how we wanted it the rest of the editing seemed to flow as we had used certain things on Final Cut Pro that we hadn't used before to do the match-on-action sequences, so after that the rest of the editing didn't take as long because we knew what we were doing. 
As the hardest scene to edit, it was also the hardest scene to film because even though we kept on watching the original over and over so we knew what we had to do, it was still hard to get the angles we needed, and it was hard to get the exact parts that we needed, even though we filmed each part many times, it still seemed that we had parts missing or things that maybe didn't look correct even though everything was there and where it needed to be. 

I believe that I played a good role in the remaking of the music video, I believe this because I was in the video for a couple of shots but I also filmed quite alot of the shots, mainly the fighting scene, this meant that i had to get the angle right and had to re-film a few of them when they didn't look right.
When it came to editing I hadn't used the newer version of Final Cut Pro before, so I had a little bit of help getting the hang of it, but once I knew how to use the program I did quite alot of the editing, I think that doing this practical has let me find out more about how to make a music video look professional and also how to use Final Cut Pro properly.
