Editing Day 1

Looking at Wednesday's footage of the actress, I was able to make a start on editing some of the footage through Final Cut Pro. Whilst I was editing, I was also looking to use After Effect, which is an Adobe programme. However, as this was relatively new to me, I needed help from the technicians Tom and Tyler. They helped me on how to render and gain different colour backgrounds. I also found out on how to change the background colours at any stage I wanted, whether having the colours change fast or having the colours intertwine with each other.

These Stages Went From Stage 1 to Stage 14

I Accidentally Forgot to Take Pictures of the Other Steps

Pictures From Shoot Three

Producer and Actor 

These are just some of the photos that were taken during the shoot. I will now be looking to start editing the footage from yesterday and Wednesday. I still need to collect the footage from last week Sunday and try to book the music studio for Shoot No. 4. This will be the main focus for verse 3 of the song. Hopefully, I am also able to book further editing times for this Wednesday and possibly Thursday.

Completion of Shoot Three

I have completed the night shoot at Tottenham Hale. I seemed to have some difficulties at the end of the shoot, as I had found out that it was private property and that I had to just speak to someone in the office about using the area. However, the security man was nice to me and understood that it was a college project and not a leisure project. I feel that I collected a good amount of footage, however, I had problems with the way my actor was lip-syncing and really got him to express himself, let go and express the words as if he really means them. I also collected a few location shots for additional scenes, which will hopefully be used. I will now complete the call sheet for the two shoots that I completed yesterday and on Wednesday. 

Completion of Shoot Two

I have completed the shoot that the actress features in. As she will only feature in the video a few times, I dedicated the time to film today in the TV Studio. I also found out that they wouldn't be able to make the shoot for Saturday so I had an alternative plan to add a few location scenes. The unfortunate outcome of this is that we won't see the actor and actress together. However, I may still try to fit this in, if I need any more additional footage. I spoke to Tyler about the type of effect that I could place and will confirm the style that I would like to have as the after effect. The next shoot to look forward to (hopefully) is the Saturday shoot for more night shots. Here is an example of a position that my actress was in whilst filming her.

  

Pictures From Shoot One

I am still waiting for the footage that was taken on Sunday. My teacher has advised me to use a hard drive to transfer the footage or USB's that hold a lot of memory. I am hoping to have the footage by tomorrow. I have also booked the TV Studio for Wednesday so I can shoot shots for the video, which gives me the remaining of the weekend to complete the other main night scene and any additional shots that may need to be taken. Here are just some of the pictures from the shoot, which should give an insight as to what footage background was like and locations. Camera shots are a range, from establishing shots to mid shots.

Completion of shoot one

I have completed my first shoot and I am now waiting for the clips to be emailed to me. Whilst I wait, I will carry on with my storyboard and fill in a call sheet for this shoot that I have done. I will also re-visit my blog to see if anything is still outstanding. Hopefully my aim is to get my footage by today, check what I have in tomorrow's lesson, then look to film for Wednesday.

Shoot One

Just waiting for my actor to arrive at the meeting spot so we can start the shoot which is very near. Hopefully we are for a productive shoot today, which will relieve some stress and pressure for time for me.
