4th May Uploading to youtube

We created a youtube account so that we could upload our video onto the internet and could get feedback from various people. The link to our video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJUvKnTHqUc

3rd May

Today we are burning our preliminary task and our main task to DVD so it is ready to be sent of to the exam board. On this DVD we had to write our candidate names and numbers.

4th April- editing

Today we had a lesson and we completed our film horror opening by adding in the extra bits of sound we needed like the tv sound we got this by going on to free sound and downloading it. we will now ask an audience about our horror opening just to get some feedback maybe they might change our minds about some of the stuff we have done and we may need to play around abit mnore with our footage.

29th March- Creating Titles.

Today we carried on adding titles into our opening, putting them over different frames with names such as actors names, director and producer. We spaced them out over different frames and by using two different colours (black & white) to create more of a sense of threat.

28th March- Creating Titles

Today as we was happy with the footage we had edited together already we decided to start creating our titles to go in our opening. We decided on a production company name and made a title for it using the program LiveType, we experimented with different effects that made it look like a horror film title. We then started to add actors names over the frames of our opening.

21st March- Editing

Today our group carried on putting a range of shots together in our opening, using a range of extreme close ups and long shots. These shots all go together in a way of showing our character getting ready to go meet her boyfriend, using close up shots showing her putting on make-up and long shots of her getting her jacket on. We also used shots like low angled shots and high angled shots to show a sense of threat and that someone is watching her.

14th March- Editing

Today our group carried on with editing some of our footage together. We used a range of shots and used some transitions to make the beginning of our opening flow better. We also looked at a sound site to see what different types of sound would go with our opening, the site we looked at was FreeSound. We looked at different sounds such as ghostly sounds and sounds that build up tension.

9th March 2011- Uploading new footage

After filming our new footage we uploaded it to our mac that we have been given for our group. We started to piece together some of our footage to see if the different shots flow together. We were happy with the editing and decided that we were going to film some more shots to begin our film with an establishing shot of the house. To also create a sense of threat we are going to film shots of a little girl to create a ghost like feeling.

8th March Looking at footage

We looked at the fotage today and what we have filmed we showed to an audience and there feedback was that it had no direction it looked to like a teen soap. So we sat down as a group and thought of a different direction to head in so we are changing our story slightly and the location is being changed. we are going out in our free lesson tomorrow to refilm the start part of it.

Friday 4th March Uploading

We have all our filming now so i uploaded all of it onto the macs in school ready for editing in our lesson on monday. it took about 20 minutes and altogether was about 11 minutes of footage which is a resonable amount for our 2 minute teen horror film opening.

Friday 25th February Filming 2

On friday my group went out to film this was the only day the actors Stephanie Smith and Chloe Robinson could film so as i was only doing the camera someone else filmed the two scenes they filmed that day as i was busy and could'nt get out of it.
Now all we need to do is to upload our footage onto the mac's and thats are production stage finished we will then enter post production, editing.

23rd January filming again

When we downloaded our footage onto the macs we realised it was to dark and you couldnt see half of what was going on so we have filmed half of it again in the day so it is lighter. We are going to film the other half later on. We filmed our footage and we have done it from lots of different angles so that we can have a wide choice as to which ones we choose.

Uploading on to the mac's

Today we had a free period so we decided it would be good to upload what footage we hadonto the mac. to do this we had to follow these steps.

1.Plug the power lead into the camera (DC in) and a plug socket.
2.Connect the camera to the Mac by using the USB lead.
DO NOT TURN THE CAMERA ON YET!
3.Load i-Movie - this will be in the dock and looks like a star with a video camera in the middle of it!
4.Create a new project.
5.Once i-Movie has loaded you can turn the camera on.
6.Change the camera from movie mode to playback mode and select connect to PC / Printer.
7.i-Movie will now detect the camera and look for images.
8.Select the shots you want to import and click on import checked.
9.Poster images will now be generated.
10.Select all the poster images (select the first, press the shift key and click on the last to select them all).
11.Drag these images into the top window - an editing tip will appear but ignore this.
12.You will be told how much footage and how many clips you have downloaded.


We now need to get this footage onto the desktop of the Mac.


13.Select SHARE from the toolbara t the top of the screen.
14.Click on EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
15.You will need to name the clip and select a location for this to save.
16.Once you have done this you can export the footage you have taken as a QT Movie.
17.This movie can then be copied and pasted into FCE.

Starting filming

Last night we decided it would be a good time to start filming as all our cast were available. we went out at 4 o'clock and got in about 5 ish. We went to Brambleside alley and started filming it started to get too dark though and so we had to rush to get bits done. It was really fun and we just needto upload it onto the macs and see if we need to re-film or add any other bits.

Props

On Monday 10th January we went into town to buy some props for our Horror opening. Altogether it cost us about £6. Our props included a fake knife and fake blood.

Getting our memory card

On Thursday 6th of January our group was aloud to get our group memory card to start filming. We have our own memory cards so that other people can't accidently delete our work off of the camera.
