Editing Again

Today we were doing some more editing before the first cut deadline, it is just me and George doing the editing as Laurence was unable to make it for some reason. we put all that we had filmed into the video, however we know what our problems are and what we will need to correct for the final cut. the extra bits that we filmed were added, however this caused a problem as we didnt know where to add them in.

27/10/2011

Me and George have come in on Thursday to do some more editing, we have tried to get hold of Laurence but we couldn't. we have uploaded the parts that we filmed the day before, this will help the back story behind the music video.

Filming

Me and George decided to do some more filming to add more to the story in the music video, we tried to inform Laurence, however this didn't work, what we filmed helped show the struggles that the man is going through, it shows him counting pennies, searching through nearly empty cupboards and receiving a letter through the post.

Editing 13/10/2011

Today we started to edit all that we had filmed, we went through all of our clips and decided what ones we will keep. This helped a lot as we could estimate how long the total video would be, it also let us realise if we needed to film anything extra. We will have to find out what will happen on Tuesday.

Cheshunt Filming

Today we met up at Cheshunt train station and cuickly decided the order in which we filmed the shots, these shots were of George lip synching and other shots of George walking on and off of the train as well as around the town. We had trouble filming on the train, this was because the train was not very stable and the camera was very shaky, we also had a problem with other people on the train getting in the way. As a whole the day was very productive as we got the film nearly everything that we needed.

Ideas for Saturday filming

Today we planned for what we will film on saturday, we are going to go to Cheshunt and other places around it to find areas to film, this is so we can get the shots of the person lip synching and shots of the person walking to the poker scene. We needed to get some shots of lip synching, this is important as alot of time is spent focusing on the poker scene and we havent put any lip synching in that scene. We also realised what we had filmed wasnt very good as we had a lot of long and boring shots.

Editing Poker Scene

Today when we got to school we went to edit what we had filmed and realised that we had very boring shots, we then decided that will re-film, during this lesson we also did other things, for example Laurence made a call sheet, George upload what we had filmed and was deciding what shots were good and what were bad.

Poker Scene Location + Props

This is the entrance to Whitehill Golf Club, this is where we filmed our poker scene, this is because our friends stepdad owns the club and said we could use it to film.

This is the upstairs of the club room, this is where the snooker tables are, aswell as the poker table.

These are the poker chips that we used in the filming.

This is the poker table and its surroundings.

Filming

We got do film the poker scene that will be in our music video, this was all done at Whitehill Golf Club, and featured George and Laurence, along with two friends; Charlie and Matteo. I filmed the shots needed and made sure that we didnt repeat the problem we had with the Knebworth filming in not having enough shots. While we were there we took still images of the place.

Filming Problems

We had planned to do some filming over the weekend, however after last week we seemed to have a similar problem, this was down to us not being able to film after we had been told that we couldnt gain access to where we needed to film, However we have re-aranged and will now do some filming on the 4th October.
