Friday

Today we edited most of the film we got complete the music and the titles, with these on the fim look's a lot better. Conner came up with a good idea he though of an poem done by Carol Ann Duffy, which goes really well with what we are doing so we thought to do a voice over. Containing some of lines:

Education for Leisure

Today I am going to kill something. Anything.

I have had enough of being ignored and today

I am going to play God. It is an ordinary day,

a sort of grey with boredom stirring in the streets

I squash a fly against the window with my thumb.

we did that at school. Shakespeare. It was in

another language and now the fly is in another language.

I breathe out talent on the glass to write my name.

I am a genius. I could be anything at all, with half

the chance. But today I am going to change the world.

something’s world. The cat avoids me. The cat

knows I am a genius, and has hidden itself.

I pour the goldfish down the bog. I pull the chain.

I see that it is good. The budgie is panicking.

Once a fortnight, I walk the two miles into town

For signing on. They don’t appreciate my autograph.

There is nothing left to kill. I dial the radio

and tell the man he’s talking to a superstar.

he cuts me off. I get our bread-knife and go out.

the pavements glitter suddenly. I touch your arm.

The lines that are highlighted are the ones we are going to use. In next lesson we will put the voice over in certain part. While Conner was doing the voice-over Sophie came up with a good name for the film.' Killing for leisure.'

Friday & Tuesday, Editing.

For the past 2 lessons this week we have been editing the film together. We have tried putting various parts in places to see if it runs seamlessly a the moment it seems ok.

So far we have put all the parts on the timeline. And it roughly around 2 minutes long. Also in the past week we have tried out the soundtrack and we have got a sound which we think fits quite well. We needed help to transfer the music from garage band to Final Cut Pro. So far we have got some of the music on the timeline and will finish it next lesson.

Also we have started putting the titles on we have got the basic ones on right now, but once we have got all the titles on we will change the text size, colour and how it comes on the screen.

We also have to come up with a main title, in the previous lessons we have randomly suggested some like, The Unknown or The Traveller we have also came up with some others. We will decided maybe next lesson what it will be called as we hope to finish off the titles then.

Ms Getting suggested we should add a part with Conner on the phone or something as the film seemed a bit slow. We are still thinking on that idea, as if we decided to shoot that then we will have to miss a lesson to go film a tiny part which would be time consuming. When we have got all the music sorted hopefully by next lesson we will see how it is all together as the music play a big part and that’s in any film.

extras

here are some pictures we took while we were filming in Glossop.

tuesday filming

Today thought we had completed filming but my camera wasn't compatible with the Macs. therefore we had to re shoot. We all went down to Glossop to re film what we previously did in the holiday.
We got it all the filming complete, so next lesson we shall edit it together once we finished that we will put in the subtitles then we will do the soundtrack.

Filming during the holidays

During the holidays me and Rebecca went back up to film in Glossop due to family reasons Sophie couldn't make the filming but she had the camera so Rebecca used her camera which she brought and so we finished the filming so next lesson we will add the filming onto the computer and finish the film with music being developed by Connor so we will finish the film in the time set.

Filming

Today me and Conner went filming. We tried to get hold of Sophie but we couldn't and this was a problem as she had the steady cam and the camera. To make sure the journey wasn't a waste of time I used my digital camera to video. Hopefully this will work on the computers at college.

The first part we filmed was around the train station then we went to the park to do some filming. We had no idea what to do so we just thought of ideas when we were there. Conner put some blood on a tree and I captured that. Then Conner went and sat on a bench looking over the water and I did a panning shot of that in several direction.

We also couldn't get hold of Nico so we couldn't film his part but we think we could get away without doing any more of his parts because we are adding Conner's part to it.
When we went back to the train station Conner had an idea to film the cars going past. and we filmed that for about 10 minutes but we will get a part of it and speed it up like time is passing. Then I filmed Conner coming off the train, we had to do this quickly as the train doesn't stay for long, also I filmed him walking out of the train station.
On the ride back I filmed him sitting down when the train was moving. I also got some shots outside the window but we didn't need that many as we already filmed some previously.

Hopefully we have completed the filming and all that is left now is the editing.
