Editing

Editing

For our editing we used editing software called Imovie. We done the editing on Ashley's macbook. We decided to use Ashley's macbook because we could continue editing when we are not in school. The main editor was Ashley, he was the one who did most of the editing in the group. We all took part in editing so we all learned the editing skills as well as give advice and feedback.

While we were editing we found a continuity error where the shadow of one of our group members was in shot. We overcome this problem by cropping the scene, this go rid of the shadow and didn't overall effect the scene.

We also deiced the type of music we were going to use while editing. We had three copyright free tracks that we were going to use during the opening sequence. The all fitted well with the scene.   

Our Re-films

Our Re-film's

After we finished planning our opening sequence we then decided when we would go out and film again. Some of the shots we filmed in the first take can still be used when we edit but we decided that it was worth us just re-filming it all. 

We decided to go re-film the inside shots (location 1) first. We chose this because the weather out side was not suitable to do location 2. We finished filming quicker than before because we knew what we had to do. 

To film the next location we had to wait for the right weather so it will fit our storyboard and fit with the continuity of the film. It was easier to film because we have done it before, so it took less time than it did in the beginning of the filming. Filming location 2 took us two trips. The first trip we did was to film the shots with Harry's brother. The second day we went filming was to do the shots with only Harry in. Both these days were similar weather so it avoided continuity errors.

 

Third Day Of Filming

 Third Day Of Filming 

On the third day of filming we had to finish the rest of the outside shots. We started where we left off, and check the surrounding areas to make sure there wasn't any continuity errors. We went on this day because it was similar weather to when we last went out. We made sure that both main characters were in the same costumes as before to avoid continuity errors.

We found that we were a bit more rushed with this day in filming because Jay forgot to charge the camera meaning we had limited time to film. So we couldn't play anything back and couldn't check the shots we just did.
In this time we finished most of the shots in the ending of our opening sequence. But we still had a few small shots to finish.

Second Day Of Filming

The Second Day Of Filming 

We did the inside shots of the opening sequence on the second day of filming. We did the inside shots because we were unavailable to get the outside shots because it was raining.
This is location 1 and where the opening sequence will start. So we used the script, storyboard and shot list to help us film this location. We changed some shots because they didn't work as well as we hoped and we ended up changing some of the positions of the shots. It was difficult to get the shots we needed with Harry's brother. So most of the shots we extend so we could edit some parts out.

First Day Of Filming!

First Day Of Filming!

Our first day of filming started at our second location and that was the park. Which has the main location for our opening sequence. We did the second location first because it is a outside location and the weather was suitable for the type of setting we wanted. The first location was an inside shot so it could be filmed at any time. We only got a few shots done in the time we had because we underestimated how long it takes to film each shot. When we were filming we realised that some of the shots we planned didn't work, So we had to replace those shots with other ones.

We also had to use small stones to direct the characters and where to stop in shot.

Harry had to climb onto the slide roof to create the establishing shot for the park. This was the highest, reachable part in the park for an establishing near the entrance in which the characters will be walking through. 

Ashley then took a photo of what the establishing shot so we could see if the shot worked. 

Film Locations

Film Locations

Over all we have to shot locations to film our opening sequence. 

The first location is at Jays flat. We chose this location because it fit our opening sequence well. We also chose it because it is convenient with the actors and the type of shots we were going to have.

The second location is of the park where the rest of the shots will be taken. We have decided this park because it is convenient with the type of angles we wanted with the shots. We also chose this park because not many people would go there meaning that we wouldn't be interrupted while filming.
