Final Film - (cinema viewing)

Evidence of editing - Adding sound.

Using clipgrab we used the song "nines - yay" and added it to our footage to add to our scenery as we feel it relates to the footage and it adds meaning to it aswell.

Evidence of Editing - 5/01/17

What we did in today's class

• Today we looked at the scenes we filmed.
• We also put up a rough copy of what we have filmed so far.
• we have spoken as a group about how individually feel about our work so far.
• lastly we are still finishing off our editing of the short film opening which we have been working on, as we have finished filming.

Rough Cut

Editing Experience

Editing:

During editing, each member of the group contributed a part to the final film. Due to our focus on the editing and how much time we spent, our blog lacks evidence of how exactly we edited and what contributions were made.

• To put the sequences together we used - Adobe Premiere Pro
• To incorporate transitions, lighting edits, titles and sound and backing tracks - Adobe After Effects

Problems faced during editing

Key problems faced during editing:

• Disagreements on what ideas to use - regarding transitions for titles and song choice
• Technological difficulties with programmes used - had to restart the whole sequence as work didn't save due to fault of the Mac 
• Lack of understanding to use particular programmes.
• Lack of time so some initial ideas couldn't be incorporated into the final film.

Evidence of Editing

Rianna was using the mouse to edit and drag parts of our footage to perfect them and put things into the correct order of events.

We used premiere pro to put all of our footage together.

We used Adobe after effects to create our title and the credits for the film opening.

Evidence from filming sessions

Evidence from filming sessions - 

Due to the lack of time we had to film and problems we faced having to re-film due to the sound not being on, on the camera the first time we filmed, we were unable to record evidence of filming.

Day 1 of filming - Location : City and Islington College  

                            - Actors used: Lakye Belle and Richard Bynoe

                            - Weather - No rain, no sun 

                            

Implications - 

• Sound wasn't switched on throughout the whole footage
• Filming wasn't steady enough

What went well - 

• Acting was good
• Weather held up so we were able to film outside as well as inside 
• Actors turned up 
• Location wasn't heavily populated - lack of distractions and masses of people cutting into the footage

Day 2 of filming - Location: City and Islington College

                           - Actors used: Lakye Belle and Richard Bynoe

                           - Weather - No rain, no sun

Implications resolved from day 1 - 

• Made sure sound was switched on before filming, and tested the camera out before filming actual footage
• Used a fig rig in order to keep the camera steady when filming 

Implication on day 2 - 

• Due to time of day, a lot of college students began to hang around the location and so the setting was overly populated - therefore, patience between the actors and camera-woman was needed in order for the footage to look how we intended it to.

What went well -  

• Gained good footage from the filming - used in final film

Evidence Of Filming - Day Two

Reflection on Filming - Day 1 of Filming

Day One:

What went well:

• Actors memorised lines correctly.
• Filming went smoothly
• Good, clear footage.

Even better if:

• Sound was on , on the camera.

Day Two:

What went well:

• Good, clear range of different types of shots
• Actors worked well together and made a good and equal contribution

Even better if:

• Lighting in one part of the location was better 
• Less people around our location so we could film better and smoothly

Evaluation:

In order to overcome any issues regarding day one and two , we made the following improvements,  we made sure the sound was on when filming on the second day and we will also make sure that for day three of filming we will double check the sound again to be sure, try to film somewhere where there are less members of the public around and better and clearer lighting that doesn't affect the set location we chose to film.
