New Filming Schedule

The dates that where set to film had to be canceled due to weather being a big issue for us as it rained a lot on these dates. So the dates where changed to 27/02/11 and 20/03/11 so we where able to get both myself and Hannah avaliable to film, and as Georgia could not make the first day of filming, Leanne stepped and depending on whether Georgia can make it to the second date we have a backup in the form of Leanne.

Cast Continued...

From the previous blog, the two actors who origanlly where going to play the roles of danny and Kerry where family memebers of mine,my brother and cousin, but Georgia could not make it on this occasion when we filmed so my friend Leanne Milson stepped in to complete the role of Kerry.

Cast

We decided on these actors as our main characters because we wanted our target audience to be able to re-late to the characters. We needed characters that the age of the public 16-20 who would be watching it so they would be able to recognise the characters personalities and traits which would therefore keep them interested and entertained.

Filming Scedule

Using this helps organise when filming exactly and what we are filming on what day as we are filming over a number of days so this helps to show exactly where on which day we will be filming as some shots require more time and are more complicated than other shots so this helps us to see when that will happen.

Prelimanary Task

Evaluation on Editing Skills
At the CLC I used the programme Adobe Premier Pro CS4 to edit clips for my preliminary task, I had not used this programme before so it was new to me and exciting to use. The preliminary task itself had to have specific shots such as: - The 180 degree rule
-match on action
-Shot/Reverse shot
Importing all the clips into the programme I had a few problems finding all my videos so I had to start again in order to have them all imported, after importing all the videos again I was able to find all the clips and use the razor tool to edit the unwanted parts of the clips and edit the wanted clips together and produce a proper scene including all the required shots. On a whole I really enjoyed editing the shots, learning how to use the software and in the future I would like to try and use different events such as blurring the screen and using filters.
