Filming

Over the past 2 weeks we have been coming to my House on Sundays to film the parts with Alec our main character. The fist week we managed to film all the parts with books, some lip syncing shots and some general long shots. because we didn't have as much time as expected we didn't get as much done as we wanted to. The second week we managed to get far more thinks filmed, we managed to get all the shots involving leaves, which i had to go out and find then dry by hand as it had been raining. It looks very effective! we then managed to get all the CD shots. We thought that it would be better to attach the Cd's string/clear string and then dangle from bamboo sticks. This again worked very well. we managed to get More general shots that we will edit together to create the song. it helped that Alec wore the some thing he wore in our previous filming session as it shows we have thought about continuity.

Unfortunately Alec is now ill..suffering from an ear and eye infection to more filming at this moment in time is out of the question! As Evie has had to go up to Scotland for personal reasons me and Ellie have been left to upload all the footage we have been doing. Evie has given me the memory cards to upload. However when we went to do this yesterday we were only able to view a certain number of clips from the camera...we then put the SD card back into the camera to check that we had actually recorded our clips..turns out we have but the mac didn't recognise our clips. Due to this me and Ellie have waisted a lot of time trying to sort this out, we resorted to asking Mr canning to help us trouble shoot but he had to leave after the lesson so didn't have enough time to look at it. He left it to Sam to have a look, unfortunately he hasn't been back to us with the outcome so we don't know weather it has been successful. if we cant get it onto the computer then we are going to have some problems with re filming it as Alec is very ill and will not be well enough to film in time for the internal filming deadline we have set ourselves.

Meeting the critera

In the past few weeks we have been looking at different ways to present what we are feeling on our blogs. Mr Canning has given us a sheet of bullet points that our planning etc must meet. In our previous lessons we planned each bullet point briefly. To make it easier and quicker each person was allocated a point, unfortunatly we didnt get al points done as we went into a little too mcuh detail in the points. In todays lesson we came together as a group and presented our thoughts. We filmed each one seperatly in a discussion format. I feel it went very well and that we covered most of the points that we had to. We were also paired up with another group and we had to make notes on thier discussion, the had to do the same to us. We then discussed good aspects and bad aspects in my group of 3, we made brief notes and i will be posting my thoughts on thier blog ver soon.
