Editing troubles!

We had a few editing troubles the other day getting the music to become muffled after she pulls her head phones out. We finally figured out how to do that by layering the music on top of each other and then cutting the music where we wanted the headphones to come out and then editing the second layer of music to make it muffled after the headphones had left her ears. We finally got all of that sorted but then we wanted to add the siren on top of that and we were in a dilemma! The siren would delete either the first or second layer or music ! however after a long time of freaking out we realised that we had not applied the 3rd sound properly, we were supposed to place it on top of the video not the music to add it *slow clapping* well done group 2 ! But that's all sorted now and we only have to put on some ambient sounds for after the headphones are removed and that is all of our sounds finished.

The video below is showing Alicia editing the music to be perfectly in time with when she pulls the headphone out of her ears.

Music Change!

So our group was really not feeling Not giving in as we felt it did not go with the mood of our song as well as making the video seem more like a music video rather then a two minute opening so we decided to hange it back to our origianl song... Deepest Shame by plan B. Although i have already posted a video of this previously I will post another so you do not have to scroll back.



We also felt that deepest shame is more relevant to the story and the words correlate at some points to what has happened in the plot which we like. We also felt the song to be more mellow and street than the pop song 'Not giving in'. I think this song is so much more relevant and our group have agreed that it is prefect for our 2 minute opening.

2 weeks !

Oh my goodness !! I realised we have like 2 left to finish our film ! Although we only have 3 shots left we still haven't filmed them !! But there is nothing to fear Our group we definitely finished before the deadline and we will make an editing vlog and final thought vlog as well as filming vlog so we will keep you updated for the next two weeks ! I have also realised we still have a few more shots to do, need our title sequence, I won't stress because I know our group can do it !

Awww! Aren't they cute!

This is the photo we used for the end part of our film opening. What we really like about this is that it shows Leanne (the protagonist) Alicia (her friend she killed) and billy (Alicia's twin) this photo highlights their young age in contrast to Leanne's age now and also emphasises the point that they have been very close Friends for a long time. The fact that billy is also in this photo causes the audience to think of who he is and why he is the photo, this may spark interest in the audience's mind to why he is there, what affiliation he has with the two girls, who alicia is and why Leanne is burning this picture of them.

Title sequence!

Well as you know there would be no film without all the people who have helped to create the concept, have the contacts and produce the content, as well as several hundred more jobs to help make the film and these people are recognised during the Title sequence and the credits.
So we have to think of our title sequence, which has been proven quite difficult as we have come to the end of the road on inventive names.

However as a group we have decided to have our title sequence during our time lapse to allow more time for actual film content. we feel this will also add to our film as it causes breaks in the time lapse highlighting her fragile and broken feelings and therefore will add effect of time slowing down and speeding up for her emphasising her wait as well as her emotional breakdown.

Hannah created this great image!

This is the sort of effect we are going for, with the names on the side of buses during the time lapse when it is slowed down. We really like this idea however it will be very hard to do perfectly but I'm sure we will do it.

Slip-idie-doo-da !

As you know our group went out to film on Friday and we got some very useful shots !! Not to mention muddy shoes and a muddy leg because I fell over... Joy -_- ! (Lucky they couldn't turn the camera on in time to see me do the splits, just after I told Leanne she better not slip or I would laugh my head off for days! Thats Karma for you! ) however, we did get all the forty hall shots! The last filming -train - will be done during half term and we will be editing on Wednesday !! So we are all good and the progress is good well! We should hopefully be done in time.

My favourite shot that we got so far! 

Beautiful shot taken by moi 

My Slip mark !

The pictures we used to burn.. we used the top one

BAFTA's

Did I agree with all  decisions? Not at all but I have to say watching the BAFTA's is truly inspiring ! It has made me feel part of the film community which not everyone can relate to. Although I haven't personally watched Argo, from the few snipets I have viewed of the film I didn't think it should have won as many awards for example; Best film, I think Les Miserables should have, Though this is personal bias and Argo must have been a truly spectacular film to win Best film and the BAFTA's. All the awards were truly deserved. and Les Mis did win many awards which was deserved.

Watching it for the first time properly was truly tremendous experience as previously I would simply read who won out of the newspapers, but you don't hear the humourous jokes of Stephen Fry, the beauty of Bradley Cooper and the wit of Sam L. Jackson and his jokes about Snakes on a plane. As well as the great and amazing acceptance speeches!

One day I hope to be hosting or being part of the BAFTA's however, for now I shall just sit, watch and dream about how great and Inspiring it is!

Final filming !

*To final count down* It's our final filming! We will be filming our forty hall scene, running scenes and train scenes !! The excitement ! Afterwards we will be finished for editing !! We will be shooting this footage today and we will be missing our media lesson to do this ! But don't worry we will catch up !!

WEATHER!

Oh how I love you for once ! We will be filming the final footage for our film on Friday and the weather is perfect so we are happy !!
