Filming Diary 4- 23/11/2009

Today i actually had my tape, so i imported all the footage on to the MAC and used iMovie to edit and put all my clips together i enocountered alot of problems in thouse lessons because iMovie kept frezzing and shutting itself down, also the scene with the fly kept on no reversing and slowing down but eventually after 3 attempts i manged to completly finish my video, all the editing all that was left was my audio but to do that i shall just record a social disscustion and reverse it, to do this i shall also do it outside as it won't sound as dull because it will also capture the wind ect ect ect

I forgot to bring my video tape into to college so in the end i couldn't really do any production work so i improvised and started to try and do my sound, but this was met with some difficulty because its hard to make sounds with out any video work to put it too furthermore i also filled in my logging sheet, after some debate i have decided i am going to re-write my production so it will be neater.

Filming Diary 2- 11/11/2009

As i had always intended, i wanted to take a shot of the sky but unfortunately due to the nature of the weather i was unable to do so because i finish college to late on the days i had the camera so it was dark before i could even think about filming so in the end i improvised, and instead recorded the sky from a window on the fourth floor in the tower block.

After i shot the sky for 5 minutes, i was about to pack the camera away but i saw a fly lying on he side obviously dying, so i decided i would record the fly twitching on it back for a few seconds. This would help with my video as it is something rather creepy and disturbing so a few people who view my video would be sickened by it so to speak.

I have decided to ue this shot instead of my stopmotion pentagram but i may still include a pentagram in my final video, i'm still deciding what is should appear like and how.

Filming Diary 1- 9/11/2009:

At 7:30 i started filming, the shots that were in my hostel. After setting up the camera i shot scenes 2 and 4 without any problems. After finishing this i attempted to film scenes 9 and 11, my stop motion sequence but encountered several problems with getting the right length and the same line thickness furthermore the paper kept moving so the shot wasn't exactly straight, after trying to do this for 30 minutes i gave up and i decided to re try at a later date.

At approx 9:30 i shot scene 7 after some difficulty acquiring some lighting so i could light the bottom of the cupboard, after i played back the scene it is evident that i will needs to crop the scene quite a bit. Shot 3 and 8 were done shortly after as well without encountering a problem the only problematic thing was i destroyed or ruined the only picture of me and my sisters...
