We were recording two days from the morning, the first day was a bit tiring, but I enjoyed it very much. Thanks to Elinor, we had a nice launch together.
It was good to work in a bigger group, because we could share the tasks, for example Bob was the cameramen, Kata was responsible for the equipments and lighting, Elinor was helping Bob, Natela was reading the script and I was writing what we had already shooted.In this way we were working in conjuction and everybody was helping to each other's job. We knew that one day is not enough to shoot the hole movie so we met next day to finish the serving part. It was the best part, because we didn't know how people will react. But our actor Pavel,Natela's freind was just perfect, he looked like a real waiter and people were not afraid to ask a glass of wine from him. At the end of the day we were very satisfied and drank a glass of wine. :)
The editing was at Bob's place few days after, again we shared the tasks.We used Bob's laptop, somebody were working on Photoshop, somebody was making the storyboard nicer and somebody was helping Bob with advices. We also recorded the sound one day before, but in my opinion it was not the best choice, it's a bit boring after 20 seconds. With Elinor we decided to change the music just to give a try how it looks with an other music. We will see.
The hole process of working together was brilliant, we had a good atmosphere and the most important we were listening to each other's opinion.And last, but not least I get to know better Elinor,Kata and Bob! :)

Eleventh week
We got the second assigment which should be wine-commercial-music video for Phil's friend. It is a competition between us and the winner gets 50.000ft. We have created our group (Elinor, Natela,Bob, Kata and Me) then we made an appointment to talk about ideas. At first I must say I am very happy about our group, because i did't work with them except Natela.
We had three ideas at the beginning and it was extreamly hard to choose.But after two hours of brainstorming we voted and started to organize the actors.
And when we met at the Stern Studio, (which was great, because I haven't seen such a big studio before) we realized that the idea we had chosen is not so good. Natela and I felt uncomfortable of the story. So we decided to change it at the last moment. We met next day to write the storyboard.
The story is about: A farmer guy is making wine and the steps of wine making are in different places until he gets to the city where he has to wait until its ready.After days or weeks he became a waiter to serv the ready wine to people on the street. We hided the camera so people had no clue about the filming that is why the reactions look natural.We wanted to show happy and suprized faces at the end which fits to the song Barry White.

Nineth week
We were talking about the lirics of songs and about their meanings. It was a bit boring for me, but I know that it is useful somehow.
Then we watched the videos, I have to say again everybody did a great job.I am amazed about our talent. :) Is's rather a Media class than Arts Management. :) My favourite one Elinor's and Kata's, because it was very funny, I could laugh a lot.

eight week
Time to handle the ready Music Videos! All of them are really nice, the Help is nice because is good to see classmates as members of Beatles, the blind couple was interesting because they don't seem blind, Kata's and Elinor's video were cute and Bob's group were making a hard job.
seventh week
We were still finishing the editing and making few small changes like make it less flashy and the end was too long.
Sixth week
Still we had to start shooting on the street and decide more precise what we were going to do. We got the idea that Natela was bicycling, Julia was walking and I was driving. We stared to shoot at first Natela, amizing how she is bicyckling. Then I had to dance in the car what we have shooted from many camera angles. We also tried to lip-singing, but it was hard and I felt myself funny.
Last we had Julia walking and dancing on the street, but unfortunately the sun went away and we needed one more day to work.
Next day we met again to finish the filming, then we were ready to edit it as well. Three of us had different idea about the edinting and it was very hard to agree at the begining. And very slowly we could see the solution. My favourite part when we are dancing infront of the white backround, the picture was already very good, because we were standing on a high stair and the sky is almost white. We had to just add contrast and make it black and white and a bit flashy, the result I think is nice.
Unfortunately, as I mentioned before scenes of the pub were too dark and we could use only one which is also dark, but if we again make it flashy it looks like a real dance-floor where people dance.
About the Videos in general, everybody improved a LOT during the 2nd and 3th semester and I think all of us put more energy into these videos than we had to put to any assigment.
Enjoyed all of the movies!!! :D

Fifth week
To work with Natela and Julcsi was great, we had many ideas for the Music Video for example old people dancing in a crazy party or the same with children, but finally we realized that it is hard to organize a film like this and we are not able to get at least 10 granny or daddy dancing crazy...
Since we didn't have actors it was obvious that we had to act!The story is based on three girls listening a particular song and they are enjoying the music at the same time during their way to somewhere... We said let's have a fun and go to a pub and dance as one of those girls in the real Music Videos. :) We met at Julcsi's place to prepare our costume according to our characters.We decided that the characters had to be different therefore Natela was the crazy women, Julia was the hot :), and I was the elegant. We had really good time together.
I asked a permission few days before to shoot and fortunately we didn't have any problem with people in the pub nevertheless there were around two hundred. The place was just too dark and we could use only one scene that is why there is just one version of dancing.
