I thought the pre-production and pitch was easy because while listening to the songs the only one that gave an idea was the song Vandals and an idea just came to me about the guys in hoods running round town and spray painting every thing. But the fall back was that fact that I could not do it because there could have been complications between the police so I had to work with Carrie on her project.
Her idea was good but there were many complications. During the shooting Carrie’s friend and part of the cast could not make it all the time when he said he could come he bailed out each time so we did not record for two weeks. Then we had problems about when we should book out the equipment. The worst problem would be the dates and time we were filming because of all the problems they were always being rearranged. And when did finally get a date to start filming we hardly got any thing done things kept going wrong again. Carrie and Peter (the other cast member) kept debating what angle shots and changes we should make and we ran out of time. The day of filming Peter stayed in bed and was an hour late showing up for filming. So because of all these set backs happening and because it was not planned enough we only got four or five small shots and now we need to use clips from others work and put those clips together to the song we chosen.
Using final cut pro I put the song vandals in and use some pre-recorded clips to put with it. The idea that I got for it was the boy in the purple shirt who is being followed and is then killed in a car park by the following person, then a ghost is haunting him and he starts to run away. There were not many clips of him running away so I decided to do some thing a bit odd and take all the clips and reverse them and the song; like time was going backwards to before he began to follow him. I got the first few clips and the beginning of the song again and played them normally and inserted a blooper clip where he comes out too soon and back I used that clip and cross dissolved a clip of the ghost so he gets second thoughts and leaves.
