Reflection: Editing

We have now finished our editing section of the project and now have our finished short film ready.

Reflection: Editing

We are now in the 3rd week of editing and we have now got our full video however we are still in need of colour correcting all scenes and add our soundtrack piece over the top of it.

Reflection: Editing

We got have placed our scenes in our desire order and are now cutting the clips down to the right length and will soon begin to colour correct the scenes to make them darker.

Today we have begun to edit our video using Final Cut Pro

Filming Forest shoot #3

Today was the part 2 session of the filming we did yesterday. Today we managed to complete all the scenes we needed to that went with the ones we filmed yesterday. We also filmed some alternative scenes as a back up for the editing portion of the project just in case we do not like or feel they do not work with other scenes.

Filming Forest shoot #2

Today we went back to the forest in order to re film the scenes that were to dark from the first shoot on the 26th. However we decided while we were there it would make much more sense to film all the scenes again to avoid any continuity error that might occur. Because of this we only managed to film half of the scenes and therefore decided that our final shoot will take place tomorrow where we aim to finish filming altogether.

Filming - Container shoot.

Today we filmed the portion of our short film that takes place within the container (filmed at college). Having bought all the bought all the props and set them up in the way we decided on arranging we were able to film the scenes as close as we could to the way in which we wanted to like in our storyboards.

We were able to film all the scenes need today as part of the flashbacks needed for our short film. Today we also decided that we will be filming on the 2nd of November and will re-shoot the scenes we need as part of the footage that takes place in the forest.

Filming Forest shoot #1

Today we filmed our first portion of the footage needed for our short film. However towards the end of the shot the footage we filmed became dark and then to dark to actually see therefore we have decided to film these dark scenes again however we have not yet decided which date this will be.

Filming dates.

Today we have decided that tomorrow (Saturday 26th of October) will be our first forest shoot where we plan to film all the scenes from forest section of our short film as the weather will be a good condition to film in.

We have also planned with the caretakers to use the container located on campus on the 29th (during half term) where we aim to get all of the container scenes done as we would only like to film on this location once as it is not as easy to take along all the props as it is with the forest.

Weather forecast for Saturday the 26th

Reflection.

Today we had our test footage shoot for our short film and it was very helpful (we will upload our scenes soon as we are editing them). using our storyboard we produced as a guide of what to film however while filming we begin to discuss a way for our short film to make sense as to why the forest is used as a location. From this we decided to change our idea to make more sense.

Reflection.

Today in our group we decided to do a test shoot to see what scenes work and which don't as well as possibly allowing us to develop our idea more to fit in with what is possible to film. We will be filming our test footage this Saturday (19th of October)

As we now know where we will be filming the scenes needed for our short film we have decided as a group to go out and take pictures of these locations today after college in preparation for our location   recce.

Reflection.

In our group have moved on to the pre production stage of our planning, and have been discussing possible locations. We 100% sure that we will be using the forest for a locations of the flashback scene as we felt it will be visually exciting and will help to set the tone however we are having a slight issue with where to film the scenes in the warehouse/studio/lock.
