I have filmed all of my narrative over two days, the 9th and 10th of October, and I am now waiting for people to be available to be able to film my performance which is all I need to do. Overall, those two days were very successful as it didn't take long for me to get all of the footage I needed. The things I struggled were the part where Dan was walking up the stairs to a bench as I had to do a pan/zoom out shot and I found it quite difficult as I don't have a steady hand. Another thing I struggled with was the zooming in shot of Dan as he got up and walked away from the camera. Some people really annoyed me, first reason being that the previous main character I had chosen, (Callum), had filmed the house scene perfectly, and then when I needed to film the street scenes, I asked him if he was free the night before and he said he was, but the next day I got a text saying "I really cba tonight, can't you get someone to fill in?" So I sacked him from the main character role and chose Dan instead as he is more reliable. The second thing that really took me to the edge was that the band I was in and formed myself had agreed to do my performance for me, but every time I tried to film it, someone wouldn't show up. I then tried to organise a day where I could do it without two people that weren't even involved in this project, and I then got kicked out of it. So I couldn't do any filming for the performance whatsoever.

ReplyDeleteBlog is looking like a C grade overall currently. This needs to be improved as it's below your overall AS grade.
1. Fix the order of posts so that it runs more logically (see checklist or past blogs if unsure)
2. Final storyboard drafts (with explanations?) - where are they?
3. Don't just copy & paste (e.g. UK tribes) - say what the information is giving you and how you'll use that to shape your ideas/video
4. Presentation of some posts is fairly basic (job roles/mise-en-scene, etc.). Make it multi media with lots of supporting images
5. Finish each post - some are incomplete or just too vague to mark highly (TA member profile for example)
6. Student video analysis??
Remember this is 50% of your year. If the filming is going slow (a problem in itself) then at least the blog should be perfect. Next couple of months are massive now.
