Marrisa Johnson, 8/12/15. - Filming short films day.

In today's lesson we all got into our secret short film production groups and then started to discuss what places we were going to film first as today we was filming for it as the previous week things just wasn't working well for everybody in our media class. Eden had booked our group a camera and a tripod out the day before so we was all organised for today. I had to print out a storyboard for our group and we did at first struggle with getting this but turns out we had been going to the wrong printer the whole time. Despite this it didn't take up much time really. We then went out and shot half of the shots before break and we was all so happy with the footage we had. We shot so many clips just in case any were abit wrong and wasn't good enough so we wouldn't have to come back and re shoot it. Everything I think was going good in terms of our planning. The only thing Id say was an issue for us is we didn't have a hat to use to film with, but that was sorted eventually by a second year student which really helped us out. Also Emma had forgotten a boy hoodie but luckily I brought one in as I knew that she might forget. We had some time left before break so I started on putting together a skeleton edit to have an idea what clips would suit our short film and how were going to include them which as such a good idea. After break we then went out and shot more clips to finish off our final footage. They all again took a while but we was all satisfied with the footage we had. After this I made a skeleton edit of it all and it all goes together so well and we managed to make the short film just under 1 minute 30 with all of our clips so far. I even had inserted the cross edit into our short film and our clips all work out so well. The edit still needs some further edits like fades, non digetic music that I will be looking for whilst I have free time. It is also missing a voice over that we will have to film next week as when we tried to do it this lesson the machine wouldn't read our Sd card. I am so pleased with our footage and I thought that our group worked so well together and that we all knew our roles and were all comfortable with them. Me and Eden both directed in some scenes to help us get the best footage we could. Eden also did good with it on her own when there was scenes were me and Emma was included or just me. I think we should have let Emma have a go with the directing because she didn't really have a go at it. There was scenes that me and Eden had to demonstrate to Emma to help her understand and Emma and I had good efforts with our acting roles. We just all worked well together, better than expected as when we first got into group we wasn't really that close and at first there was little communication but in the end we all got loads of communication and took sensible descions of what others ideas was. We used I think the most effective shots for our film, we used a fair variety and they all worked well with the scenes we assigned them too. We followed our shot list and story board correctly and I think this time it was so much better as we planned it out so well. We managed to use, Mid shots, Extreme long shots, Long shots, Panning shots, Close ups to express feelings and I am so pleased.
