Progress

A lot of progress had been made since we started the coursework between both me and the project. Individually I have learnt a lot since we have been filming. Its not as easy as I thought it would have been. I've learnt that its always best to take lots of shots of the same scene but with the camera in different places and angles so you have a choice and you can choose which one works best. This can also help with not having to reshoot because for quite a lot of our footage we have had to re film as there has been a problem with it. Timing has also been an issue, as we are filming in school we  have to fit filming in around lessons and after school so its been hard getting the actors and the locations available. However, when we do get our actors and enough time we can manage to film quite a lot. Editing has been quite a big problem, I have found it quite hard personally and it has taken a while for me to understand how to do things. We wanted to create the effect of the footage being in black and white but certain items in red but this has proved very difficult. I have been getting on well with  the group and I feel comfortable putting forward my ideas to them.

The project has made a lot of progress. We have made a lot of changes to it for example the black and white with the red tie has caused quite a lot of problems so we have had to change quite a lot around that. Some shots have proved difficult to do so we have also had to adpat that, tilt shots are very hard when you have to try and keep the camera still. Our narrative has also changed quite a few times as well. Some parts haven't really worked very well as it hasn't always been clear what is going on and we have given away to much just for the opening so we have had to adapt quite a lot to try and fix this problem. We are really having to put a lot of work and effort into our project now as the deadline is next week, we probably should have had more motivation at the start however, we have still got quite a lot done and there are only a few things we have left to add before we have all of our footage.
