Jake Wynne Shooting / Filming / Editing TIPS!

Pre-Shoot
  • Use a music video time line! - by doing this you are able to breakdown your into verses, chorus, instrumental parts, key phrases and sounds.COLOURS to help differentiate the parts de-constructing the track - start to annotate the timeline explaining. Also tell you which part of the song is accompanied by what type of visuals.

  • Do test shots! - doing test shots will confirm or disprove your thoughts on a particular type of shot. You wont know unless you try it. Once a shot has been ruled out or in, this enables you to move quicker and more efficiently in the planing stages.

During Shoot
  • Cameras shout turning! - before music starts get camera operators to shout 'turning' when they hit record. This makes sure all of your cameras are on and no one 'forgets' to record. 
  • Play your music! - Play your music during filming so that band members and singers are all in time with each other. 
  • BEEPS at start of music! - add three or four individual beeps to the beginning of your track which is played while filming. Makes it easier to sync up music during editing stages.

Post Shoot / Editing
  • Match up beeps - this is a music quicker way of syncing all of your footage together as all cameras had been recording prior to music and beeps starting. 
  • Use multiple editing lines - this makes the editing process much quicker and easy as all the footage you could want is there. This means that you can change sections you want to change without finding the specific section all-over again. Because your footage is also synced, this means you don't have to use additional time precisely syncing as its already done (poss screenshot)
  • Fading tracks - another benefit of syncing up tracks on multiple editing lines is that you can alternate between different cameras by cutting sections and changing the opacity/transparency of a track. (possible screenshot)
