Second Shot Review

Recording Session 2

The second session was a disaster!
Firstly we started working and after 5 minutes the battery had run out. Luckily we had spares with us too back us up. However , them batteries ran out within a short time too (around 2 minutes). After this we went to the shop to buy some more batteries. When got back and set up the camera , for some reason the batteries never fitted and was a waste of money. We called it a day and went back home as the day was a disaster and we only done 1 shot.

Next time , we shall hopefully use a different camera or hopefully ask the school to provide us with a load more batteries which will fit for the camera.

Apartment 6 Folder

Made this folder to show and keep all the files information and ect we need for Apartment 6.
At the moment the folder , holds the title sequence , diary , passports and letters, class notes and any other useful information and work which links within our films title sequence for Apartment 6. This helps to keep everything organized together and easy to carry about and show to my group.

Lesson on Foely Sounds

In this lesson , we learnt about sounds. But mainly focussed on Foley sounds by watching a video below all about it. About Foely Sound: Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects which are added in post production to enhance the quality of audio for films. These reproduced sounds can be anything from the swishing of clothing and footsteps to squeaky doors and breaking glass. The best foley art is so well integrated into a film that it goes unnoticed by the audience. We also learnt about these three types of sounds: Realism: Using sounds that are naturalistic Hyper-realism: accentuating sounds Unrealism/Surrealism: using totally contrasting sounds to the original ones

First Shoot Review

Feedback from our first shoot:

This is a print screen from one of the shots we done yesterday. On the flip camera the shots looked fine and a bit dark which is what we wanted. As well , we believed that we could brighten it up once edited. When uploaded and watched back the clip , they was even more darker and as you can see its complete darkness and found out that you cant add brightness into the shot once edited as it would stand out when watched back and for the audience will notice it and feel it doesn't suit and looks weird.
From our first shoot , we feel although the clips never worked as we wished. We have learnt that we need as much light as possible and when uploaded to quick time , it will come out or darker and its easier to edit to make it darker  than bring the brightness up. We also going to bring lights/torches to bring light for the shots and try and reflect it of walls and ect when we next film. Although , only one clip worked , we feel we have learnt something new for the future which we will be sure not to make the same mistake again.

Tour of the Set/Apartment

This is video showing the apartment/set we are working on to film our title sequence. I take you through each room giving you a in sight tour of the place.

Tilte Sequence Progress

Today we started filming the opening of the title sequence through hiring a camera from school to take out with us. We are using an old small looking apartment which is exactly what we were looking for , for our film. We filmed around the apartment to document what it looks like and a insight to the set we will be working on in the next few week which will be uploaded soon.
So far , our title sequence is going well , with the opening shots filmed perfectly. We are currently discussing when to next film and be looking to buy our props which is in need for the next few shots. We are hopping to stick to schedule and have hopefully the main bit to be filmed before Friday the 21st.
