Busted Video Post-Production
We tried to edit the music video on Jack's Macbook, but getting the video files on there took almost an entire lesson due to technical issues. It was important to match the video up with the sound so that the lip syncing worked well. To begin with there were some problems as a whole section was out of time, but we soon sorted that out. Overall, the final video ended up working quite well.

Busted Video Production
The class split into two groups so we could film quicker, one did exterior shots and the other filmed interior shots. Seeing as I brought a costume in, I had to be an extra in the crowd scenes as we needed as many people as possible to pretend to be crowd, though we only had around five people, which obviously isn't as many as there were in the actual video.
Our group managed to finish the exterior shots in just under one lesson, which was quite good considering how there were several people that all needed to be directed. The other group took longer however, so our group helped them the next lesson. I was ill though, so I wasn't there to do that. Overall, the footage seemed to work quite well, despite the fact that the band changed members in the exterior shots.

Busted Video Pre-Production
When shooting our version of 1min 14 secs Busted's 'What I Go To School For' video, we had to complete several tasks beforehand, in order to be properly prepared for it. First of all we actually had to watch the video to know what to do, here is the video:
After watching the video, some of the group wrote a prop list in order to know what props to bring in for when we would film our version. These included items such as guitars and things for costumes like ties and shirts, so that the video would look like the original as much as it could.
Some of us also completed a risk assessment based on what we saw in the video, to see how potentially dangerous any of the activites would be, as shown below:
We then made a storyboard so that we would know the order of the shots and what shots needed to be filmed, in order to have the correct footage to edit later and eventually make a video that would be very similar to the actual Busted video. The group split into smaller groups and separated the length of the video into sections so we could get it drawn faster.
Afterwards, we practised lip syncing to help us get used to it before filming the actual video, we each took it in turns to mime the entire section of the song we would be using so that it could be easily edited.
We didn't do any rehearsals before the day of filming as we had no time, and we decided to bring in all our own props and costumes.
