Booking of equipment

Today we booked the equipment (29/01/10), so that we would able to re shoot the shot of the pathologist and to shoot some more shots of the general surroundings of the woods.

Creating dialogue and Editing

Today Shaistah clear write what we would need to record in the studio, so that we would be ready to record as soon as possible.
I continued to edit our footage, by cutting, trimming and putting the sequence, as a whole together. I used and learned some new distinguished editing features. I prepared the sequence that it represented the past ( the killing of the victim) by composing it so that it was black and white and by adding a feature that made the edges / outline of the shot black so that it would look as though it was being related from another’s point of view.

Voice over

From looking and reviewing our footage, we decided that we needed to record voice over’s for the characters dialogue, as the camera didn’t clearly capture all of it.
Therefore we talked to Sarah, who said that we could use the studio whenever we were ready and fully prepared to use it.

Editing / Reviewing our footage and shots.

Today we reviewed the work that we recorded.
We uploaded our recording and began to trim and cut the drama. We felt that we recorded as whole, some quality footage and shots. Although we felt that we needed to record one particular shot again (the shot where the pathologist pockets the key evidence).

Setting???

As Lewis didn’t turn up to the session, our set / location had been jeopardised, as we were intending to record in a private park that Lewis had access to. So therefore we had to urgently think of somewhere that would be suitable for our drama, as a result we decided that we would record in Canon Hill Park, as it was surrounded with a lot of greenery and tree’s.

Filming

Today we filmed our project. On the day everything went to plan, although at the start we had a few major glitches; it came to our knowledge that Lewis and Lutfa wouldn’t be able to make it to the session. So therefore I and Shaistah had to compromise and rapidly think of modifications to our drama that would allow the two of us to record.
As a result, we felt that we worked exceptionally as a pair, we felt that we worked hard and both got the utmost out of each other by keeping each other motivated and ensuring that we both agree on the ways we intended and wanted to accomplish things

Cancellation of filming equipment

The snow decided that it would ruin our filming. We had to cancel our equipment and call of the filming = (We’ve now rescheduled to week end commencing 15/01/10 =) pray that it doesn’t snow again and ruins our production.
