Making changes..

So our group did some great editing on friday but decided that the song we chose which was, Rudimental- Feel the love, didnt really go with our whole concept as well as we had hoped. It was just a bit to upbeat and didn't really have that much effect in the opening. We still had a back up plan, we went back to our second song we had first thought of, Plan B-Deepest Shame, and when we added it to our editing so far the music went so well with our opening. It adds an eary effect to our opening and also it relates more to the 'gang culture' of our film. Another thing is if you listen to the lyrics carefully it relates so much to our opening ad our film idea so overal i think our group made the right change.

Some snaps!

Here are just a few pictures from the other day while we were filming, as cold as it was (and muddy as Taneshia found out) it was a productive morning!

This is where our final shot takes place. Out whole group loves this shot and are happy with the footage we got here.

 

We decided to use the picture on the right to burn in our final shot. We chose this picture because it is of Alicia and I when we were younger and adds to the mystery behind our opening and hopefully makes the audience think and want to know more to what is actually behind the picture and the meaning. 

 

It was such a cold morning.. Don't we look happy!

 

Taneshia took a nice trip in the mud..

It's going well!

Right so in lesson today we began to edit our new bits of footage we took on Friday. At the moment it is not all in time with the music where we want it to be because we need to get only 2 more shots to place in the middle of our opening for it to flow and for our opening to make sense. We have most the shots we need and from looking through and watching the footage we filmed the other day in forty hall, our group are quite happy with what shots we have and our opening so far. We are near the 2 minute mark now and technically our group can't actually go over 2 minutes because the song beat we want to finish on is exactly 2 minutes so we might have to cut a few shits shorter or even midway add a shot with its own background noise. We really just want to get these final shots by the end of next week so we can put it all together and see where we need to make improvements but so far so good.

Filming!

On Friday we all met up about 9 and went over to forty hall to get some of our final footage. We decided we would use forty as it is just a big open area and the empty fields and forests add to the mystery behind our opening, hopefully! It was quite muddy and slippery (as Taneshia found out) but we managed to get the running shots we wanted and we filmed our final shot in a tunnel under a bridge we came across in forty hall. This was the place I end up after the running and panicking and where I pull out the picture. I will blog pictures of our day in my next blog.
