Drawing Knife Outtake

When uploading this clip we realised how off putting the objects were in the shot, and decided we would benefit from refilming the clip.

Sharpening Knife Outtake

We thought the shadow created in this clip was extremely effective, however the light switches were very distracting and took away the intensity of the clip.

Filming Session 05/03/10

Our second filming session commenced on Friday 5th March at Joe's house in Widdington where our previous filming had been done. We planned to re-film some clips which we were not happy with as the were objects in the shots which interfered with the threatening effect which we were trying to create. We were faced with a problem that we could not show the outside weather conditions as it had snowed in our previous filming session, we adapted to this by using the internal garage door instead of the front door where you would be able to see the difference in weather conditions.

Changes in plans

Our teachers have decided we should catch up on our filming with Joe on the Friday, so we are later ready to edit. We will then have an editing day next week, as it is difficult to swap with groups as their work is on the same computer as ours. However, as Joe works it will be just Tom and I doing our film editing.

Future Plans

We have been allocated Thursday 4th March as a class editing day, however Joe is unable to attend as he works four days a week. Fortunately the other AS media class have been given Friday 5th, so we have come up with the idea to swap with a willing group. We have spoken to our teachers about this and they think it is a good idea if the other group are happy with it. By changing days Joe will be able to attend making Tom and I at less of a disadvantage. As Joe leaving was unexpected we weren't able to do all of our filming to the standard that we want, so we will also need to use Friday to get up to date with that. Although this will use up some of our editing time, before Joe left we were able to upload some of our previous footage and cut out unwanted clips. So, I feel we will be able to catch up with the other groups. We have had a few problems uploading music, so we will need to work on this before Friday if we can.

Changes within the group

Joe has chosen a different career path where he had to start immediately, therefore he has left the school causing us difficulties in arranging time to film and edit our film. Having the disadvantage of only two group members we have to use other people to act in our film. We have contacted Joe and he is still willing to contribute one day a week which does help, however it may be difficult to get everything finished for the deadline.

Difficulties in filming

For some of our clips we didn't use a tripod, now we have uploaded these clips, we realise that the steadiness of the filming could be improved. We planned to not use the tripods in these particular sections because we thought it would give a more realistic view of being watched.
