EDIT ;)

Heyyyyyyy,
sorry im a bit late, but as i remembered my password, i thought i'd blog. I started editing the footage that we have today while the rest of my amazing group were out filming the last few scenes. basically, i used final cut express to start to put together the film, it looks pretty dashing at the moment and it will be much better hopefully by tomorrow when we upload more footage and then edit that badboy. I'm enjoying editing as its a challenge and its lush.
So that was my lesson today :) x

Todays media lesson....

We had a very stressful media lesson today, which i can safely say was all my fault...

We had planned to go out of the lesson to do some filming in the park today but once we had got there i had realised that i forgot the tape for the camera, so we went back to get it and came all the way back to realise that we had a faulty camera so we couldnt get any filming done which you can tell was very frustrating for us all...

Dave is doing some of the editing though so we have some of that done now which is good, so tomorrow we should hopefully be getting some more done in our lesson as we are quite behind with our filming now.

Monday 17th January....

Sorry we haven't blogged in a while....

So now we have filmed Daves scene in the offfice, hannahs car at the park scene and the police woman/dectective (who Brogan is playing) at the house discussing what has happened.

We are having some problems with the continuity, as the weather is sometimes dry and other days mostly raining so we need to pick the right day where it isnt raining....thats why we wernt able to do any filming today as it wouldnt of been the same weather from when we had filmed last time.

We are hoping to do the scenes with Rebecca in tomorrow in our media lesson, so after that we should only have a few more shots/scenes to film then we can start with the editing :)

Monday 10th January

So. Today marked the official start of filming.

We decided to take the opportunity to film our office scene of Dave on the phone. We will edit this to fit in as a conversation that is being had with me whilst I'm at the park.

It took us along time to find the perfect setting for the office as we wanted it to include many components e.g. a computer, a phone, filing cabinet and general paperwork. As soon as we had decided on location the film ran very smoothly apart from the fact that we found it very hard not to laugh at each other for the first few tries but once we had had a few practice runs we didn't laugh and managed to get some excellent shots.

Catch Up

Happy New Year To All :)

Over the christmas holidays we have not done any filming. This was a choice that we made and maybe will regret as we are seeming to be a little behind.
HOWEVER
Tomorrow we are back to 6th form and will be powering on. We plan to film straight away and as much as possible before we edit it all in one go.

12th December Media Lesson

In todays lesson we decided that it would be best if we re-shot some of our preliminary tasks, this is because during editing we noticed that some of the dialogue has been cut accidently. As we were not wearing the same outfits as in the original (due to a failure on the continuity front) we tried to shoot the whole conversation again. This did not go to plan as we found it hard to get the camera angles and effect that we desired.
Due to this we have decide to stick to our original and just edit it AMAZINGLY :)
The editing is so far going well and we are beginning to get the hang of iMovie. Yippee.

Experimenting with a camera.

Ella and Dave got hold of a camera and tested a few simple shots that we thought we would post on here!
