Film - Eve

As you can see below we have now finished our sound and editing of the footage, it has been a very long process that took the group longer than we had preferred due to various events that caused us to take longer completing the editing and completing the film.
Now that the film is on the blog, we are hoping to get feedback. Also we will be loading the film onto Facebook therefore; we can get more feedback from our target audience who will give reliable and fair comments about various aspects and quality of the film. We will be putting these comments on the blog so our teachers and others can view them, we would like pro's and con's to the film as we as a group have noticed many of both ourselves and would happily accept constructive criticism as we think this will all help us see where we could of improved, it allows us to have evidence which we can use whilst doing the feedback/final analysis of the film and this will also help us in our exam  
The group is now working on the poster and review, Jamie and Jacob have started the poster and the ideas are looking very promising and we will be working on them tomorrow through lunch and during the afternoon. Adam and I have been working on the review which we have both found difficult to start however; after focusing on it today for an hour during the lesson we have started a good piece that we will finish tomorrow and to a high standard. 

Final Film- No Fishing.

Facebook - Raw footage feedback - Jacob

We have made a group page on a social networking site and posted our raw footage asking for people to comment on it, we will wake note of what people say and will respond to it when creating our final cut. This should give us another view on our video and should also get some responses from our preferred target audience.

Discussions of use of technology - Jacob

To aid our filming we used many different types of extra technology for example we used a Velbon PH- 157Q Head to keep the camera steady when filming, this also helped us keep the camera steady by using it as a counter weight when using a steadycam shot.

When initial think about our shot types and how we were going to film we anticipated having to use this reflectors to create more light in the rooms, as it happened we didn't think we would need these so therefore didn't take them with us to film. 


We used this type of LED light to help give the impression of television and computer light, the way in which you can change the light intensity on the side of the light meant it was really easy to control and helped us to get the right light effect for the Tv screen shots. When undergoing the lighting this time, we spent more  time thinking about light and how it would effect our shots.



Message to "Fat Segal" Concerning Music

I sent this email to ask if we were allowed to use a piece of music which was copyrighted to this artist. 

After considering to use this music when then decided against it and sought after other music, we looked through a few sites to see if there was any music we could sample and then proceed to compose our own music from it. After looking for a while we found an instrumental piece titled "someone like you" and then edited this to fit perfectly in with our film. Also we had to use GarageBand to create our own piece of music that went along with our film, Adam took the lead role in this due to his excising skills with this software. We decided that we would make the music around our film rather than trying to create a piece and then putting it in the film afterwards. It was better for us to compose the music over the film so that we could make every change exactly where we felt was necessary for the sound to vary in volume. It was decided that we should start the film as a quiet and almost depressed piece of music and then as the story evolves we used slightly more upbeat music and then finished on a faster and louder upbeat mood. Our final music can be heard on our final film which helps appreciate how it goes with the footage. 

First Draft of Poster - Jacob

This is my first draft for the poster, it does not have the correct information in the text but this image gives you an idea of what the layout would be like and it also gives our group a chance to comment on ideas to add and other ways in which we can potentially use this image for our poster.
