HG: Reflection on editing process

This week we have imported all the footage onto our computer and pieced together a rough cut.This has allowed us to see what footage we need to re-shoot and what footage we do not have. We have not experimented with any after effects such as color grading but this is something that we are wanting to use. We have a small gap

HG: Reflection of Shoot 2

Our second shoot went really well , we were able to capture some great footage during the day, we used the track and dolly to capture some effective movements as well as the jib. I was operating the camera at the locations as well as helping with the jib and track as we found out to operate these types of equipment effectively you needed at least two people operating the equipment. We had our cars so were able to visit three different locations starting at 1 and finishing at 5.

One problem we had was commuters as when we were filming they walked into the frame so we just had to be patient and wait for the right time which was frustrating at times ! We also found it hard when trying to whip from the ground up to Lucas , this was because due to the awkward hand positioning we had to use. We over came this by whipping up instead of down.

LLM: Reflection on Shoot 1

Location: Tonbridge train station car park; Tonbridge cottage hospital and Lucas' house

What went well:
 - As a group we worked well together all having a clear understanding on what shots we needed

 - The low key lighting from both our cars and the station lights is clear and a good effect

 - The costumes worked well with the lighting and the darkness - all white tracksuit

 - The weather didn't pose a threat at all, allowing us to have the time to film what we wanted

What problems did you face:
 - The first problem we faced was that there were too many people coming home from work at that particular time we were filming, so to overcome this we had to leave and come back at a later time

- Another problem we faced was half way through filming the tripod we was using came apart, this meant we couldn't use the track or the dolly any longer because the camera wouldn't be steady enough when trying to balance on top of the tripod

Going forward:
- We now have to film two more shoots at two more locations and then we can move onto editing our footage in lessons

Group: Audience Research - Concept

Audience research from 10leipsl

Group - Research and concept development - Pitch

Contribution to pitch:

Louis Leipsegar-Mason - Completed research tasks and print work

Lucas Murrain - Story boarding and treatment, also looked at camera movement

Harry Gammer - Completed recce and locations analysis as well as story boarding

Strengths

• Some defined ideas in terms of performance with a suitable track chose to display ideas
• Performance sets and outside location established - reccie carried out outside
• Very good research information style and camera techniques
• Some detailed reference to displaying track in story boarding 
• Use of props to convey comedic value 

Group: Concept development reflection

Our group have collaborated this week, reviewing what we have completed and what needs to be done for our final production; The technical analysis was a key task for forming our ideas, we each chose a video to complete a shot by shot analysis to find out how our chosen genre is represented through a music video, and then we had to identify 10 particular frames from each video that may have inspired us to re-create in our final video. We have also traveled to many locations to try and find a suitable location; we cam across three interesting locations that would fit for our production and carried out a reccie and risk assessment. Going forward, we now are searching for magazine prints to provide us with the ideas we need and we are starting to form ideas for costume and types of camera movements to use for our music video.
