Main task - pre production - The storybored.

Main task - post production - Editing Diary.

15th Febuary 2011
Beacuse we have managed to get all of our main shots done we are now able to start editing our film together and make start making everything for post production.

So far we have managed to simply name all of our clips and then pick some of the best shots and put them into the order that we wanted. Over the next couple of lessons we will be able to really get into editing and start making our film more professional as well as making our extra things to put on to our dvd. Also to make our poster and any other artwork we need for our final dvd.

Main task - production -The final cast and crew.

Because one of our cast members bailed out on us last minute our cast changed:

Detective Charile Kane - Johnny Colard

Paul Rawlings - Ethan Grice

Jane Rawlings - Kerry Grice

Victoria Sweetine -  Lauren Hughes

The crew was made up of me and Ashleigh who did certain roles:

Camera - Sami Bean

Lighting - Ash Hughes

Director - Sami Bean

Procucer - Ash Hughes

Main task - production - Filming evaluation.

Yesterday (Saturday 12th Febuary) me and Ash filmed all the pieces we needed to for our final task. We also had Ash's camera set up so that we could film the behind the scenes pieces to also put on our dvd. As soon as we go back i will be putting all of the scenes onto the computer so that we can start editing.

As well as filming we took some test shots of the location and also the photos of things that we wanted to make the movie poster, the sticker for the dvd and anything else we choose to make. 

As preperation for this i will be looking over the editing files on the school website to help me edit the film.

Overall, i beleive that me and Ash worked together well as a team and as well with the actors. This was good as it means that hopefully we got the best results on the day.
