Latest update

As you know, on Friday we went out filming to get our final shots. We hopped to finish everything so we could focus on editing however as we did not have much time we didn't get everything done. We manage to get everything filmed in forty hall, including the last scenes where Leanne goes to burn the picture - we found a great location for this shot so pictures will be posted soon. We used a picture of when me and Leanne were young to show how long we have been friends and to leave the audience wandering why she is ruining the photo. There is also another person in this photo (my brother) so the audience could also be left wandering who he is and why Leanne is ruining the photo of us. I think it went really well considering it was freezing and Leanne was ill however it would have been great if we finished everything. Photos and vlogs of the days filming will be put up soon.

 

 
  

Problem Solved...

Hoorah... due to some help from Miss, we have overcome the time lapse situation. What we did was, put the time lapse to its maximum speed then uploaded it to youtube. We then converted the clip and downloaded it back onto iMovie where we then spead up the clip even more - to the speed we wanted. We then cut this into our final footage at the beginning and continued editing the rest of our footage. We are all very pleased with the opening so far, fingers crossed the rest of the footage looks great.

Slight Problem...

After we had a very productive break, getting most shots needed we were all very enthusiastic to start editing. The first lesson back we downloaded all the clips onto iMovie. We started to edit the time lapse first and all was looking great but unfortunatly the time lapse took most of our opening. The tool used to speed it up hit the speed limit so we couldnt spead up the footage any more. However, all the other shots are looking great and steady which is a bonus.

New Plans

Whilst out filming yesterday - in the rain - we decided we are spending too much time worrying about the weather so have now decided to work with it. Considering this is England and it rains more then any other weather we have decided to incorporate it into the scene. After Leanne has started her journey and we've seen her in Trafalgar, nearer the end of the 2 minutes it can then start to rain and that's when the protagonist starts to run. This will create a sense of intensity and portray how things are beginning to close in on her. However we do not want it to come across that she starts to run due to the rain so maybe she can start to run then there is a downpour. Although this is only if we continue to have bad weather so we will keep you updated as to whether we follow through with it.
