Editing 26th january

so today there wasn't really much to do because we had no actors required for our filming so i thought i would familiarise myself with the technology in which we will be making our movie in.


in our editing we will be using live type software in which many professional movie maker also make use of. This software is great because it has a different range of effects that are goof for our title production 



im really excited to start editing because of this software, i haven't really used a software has advanced as this so im really excited too see the length of this software in developing or opening sequence 

Proposal for filming extension

To, Miss O'del 
  
        Miss we are unable too meet the deadline required for us too finish filming because our actors are unable to help us today leaving is at a big disadvantage. I  would like to ask for an extension which will allow us too film till thursday,by this time we hope too have gathered all our footage and are ready too start editing. please consider our situation as it is required your approval would be very much appreciated. 

Thank you. 

Filming 26th january

Today our schedule involved editing and filming for both media lessons today, unfortunately our main character has fallen ill and also our other main character is not in. This as lead to a hole in our plan because the deadline for filming is tomorrow! so we are in a bit of a mess to be honest however what we plan on doing is writing a proposal for an extension to miss which allow us to film till thursday.

Filming 24th january

Filming on the 24th was a success!
we where finally able to carry out some progress with our filming schedule.

filming evaluation 
this time i think everything event well because of three main reasons 

1. we made use of the tripod 
2. we followed by our storyboard
3. we worked together as a team communicating effectively.

im really happy with the footage that we got even though the day didn't go all too successfully as we couldn't film all our shots

End of shooting script


we done this al together all taking specific parts i researched the music and filled in the tables  while we all discussed how we wanted the shot number to go from the storyboard  

filming on 19th

so our production plan today failed as we where awaiting the storyboard because the original was left at home but wasn't brought back in time. 
for this not too occur again we found that it would be essential for everyone in in the group too have a copy of their own storyboard. 

Our filming plan for next week, TUESDAY 24TH, we hope that this would be possible because i think that we are really behind on our production 
on tuesday we will take the whole of the day too be used for filming 
period one and two _ first scene of female main character
period three- looking back and seeing what else needs to be redone from our first footage 
period 4 start with the mugging shot and film on the streets 
period 5 look over all our footage then decide what else needs to be redone for thursday 


i think hopefully this goes has planned, we should get started on editing by monday :)

movie company logos/ film logos/titles

FILM company logos 

company logos are symbols which represents the image of the production company`, conventionally its at the bigginingg of the movie and only lasts for about 10 seconds the name of our production company is MRSA

Tripod 


A tripod is used as a way too make the camera steady and also helps the ball helps with camera movement such as tilt and pan this is very useful because it helps make 
the footage look steady and very professional. 

 CAMERA 

basically without the camera theres no footage, the camera is very useful obviously. we are using this camera and although its little  its very high tech and produces god image however a tripod its needed because it can be very hard too keep a steady hand. 

Thursday 19th filming

So today, Miss expects everyone too start filming and seeing as Tuesday did not go so well i think that we've learn our lesson so todays filming process should be better in the sense that we will make use of the tripod and our storyboard.

Todays plan is too go to Lucy's house and try too re film the footage again for the first two lessons of our media and hopefully film our mugging shoot on the street as it is raining and it could at as a pathetic fallacy
 

Tuesday 15th first day of filming

Tuesday _ Lucy house (amy our character for our opening sequence)


This Tuesday we got taken off time table intending to shoot some of our opening sequence via our main female character.

we did film having all specific parts around this however after filming half of the sequence we came back realising that our organisation for the production i.e. not using the story board and not using a tripod made our filming poor. 
tripod- this is very important has it keeps your camera steady and makes it look more professional rather than amateur.
storyboard- storyboard this wasn't followed by meaning that our narrative was allover the place, naturally its okay to rethink the ideas when your filming but we didn't follow by it meaning when we came back too look at how footage it wasn't good its looked unprofessional and armature.
