Creative Media Practice - Problems When Filming My Final Project.

For my final project I wanted to merge the split screen that I experimented with and the creative side of the youtube annotations. 

I decided to approach a band or musician to let me make a video with there song, a duet would work well but anything with backing vocals could work. I decided to use a musician called Catherine Hardman that I had worked with in the past, just because I felt her song suitcase would work well with this process. 

My idea was to have her and an actor walking each side of the screen, she would sing the lead initially and the actor would sing backing, then after each verse the audience would choose who sang the next bit, then the pair would eventually meet up together. 

After two days of filming last week (Tuesday and Wednesday) I met up with both the actor and the artist today before editing and wanted to look over what we had shot. 

To my disappointment the footage that I shot on both days was corrupt and would only read on the camera so editing was impossible, I later found out that it was due to the fact that I had used poor cards for the filming and to say it's a lesson learnt is an understatement. 

So we quickly did a re-shoot as shown below and we plan on reshooting it properly this weekend to get it the way we wanted. 

I feel this worked but I'm very disappointed that I lost footage and I know it'll work better now I've seen this version.
