Week 6

14/02/2014
Jamie finished editing the film. He exported it and we all watched the films back. I was impressed with the final film, but I was a little disappointed with Jamie's editing. He used a take of a shot that wasn't the final take (and so didn't look very good) and sometimes he held on shots for too long (in my opinion), when there were other shots he could have intercut them with.

I set up the lights in the studio whilst Jenni prepared a table and the photos for the opening scene. We shot the scene using Charlie as a hand double for Alex. Jenni and I then logged the footage from the previous day, then Jamie produced an EDL. I then finished the DVD cover whilst Jamie edited. I feel like we are making good headway; Jamie thinks he may be able to export the film today.

12/02/2014
Alice and I collected the kit and went out to shoot at Jenni's house whilst Jamie edited and started to make a DVD cover. Jenni stayed home all day for simplicity reasons. We were just shooting Lauryn's scenes this time. Looking back at the shots, I felt as if they were all good.

11/02/2014

Jenni and I logged the footage whilst Jamie continued editing. I also gave Jamie some more music to use. Alice is absent.

Week 5

7/02/2014
My group and I collected the equipment, then travelled to Jenni's house to shoot. I used my own tripod. Shooting went smoothly and took an hour less than last time. Whilst doing the final shots outside, it started to rain, which stopped me doing some extra shots that I would have liked to have done. Looking back at the footage, I felt that some shots were better than others. It was a slight challenge having to make it look like it was night in some shots, because we were only only able to shoot Alex's scenes that day and some of his scenes we shot last week were at night.

6/02/2014
I sent Simon a booking form for the Friday shoot.

5/02/2014
Jamie finished the EDL using the logging sheet. Neither Jenni or Alice are here, so Jamie can't transfer or edit anything.

4/02/2014

The group and I watched the shots back and logged them. Jamie then started to create an EDL.

3/02/2014

I took the camera back to the Media deaprtment and informed Simon that Lauryn couldn't make it.

2/02/2014

Jenni informed me that Lauryn had a dance rehearsal and so wouldn't make it on monday.
