Progress post- Editing day

Today we had a full day of editing. This was extremely useful for Tash and I as we had only made a start to our editing beforehand, so it gave us a day of actually piecing all of our footage together to make us closer to finishing our final piece. We looked up tutorials on how to split screen, and we managed to use different transitions such as cross dissolves and additive dissolves. These transitions helped to make our piece look very authentic and different to the normal dissolves. We managed to get about 3/4 done on the editing day so we made a massive progression from a few clips on final cut express to the majority of the footage edited and placed into final cut in order to finish the video.

Progress post

We have now finished our filming and in our Media lesson today we uploaded our footage from the camera onto our chosen mac then began to edit our footage. So we had quite a productive lesson overall.

Progress Post

Today, on the 13/11/12 we managed to do the first part of filming with our friend who also attends sixth form called Abigail Sears. She was kind enough to star in the music video. We have yet to just film some shots of Abi with a boy to add to the narrative of our piece.

Risk assessment

During our time filming, we have to take into consideration the risks that we may be faced with.

* Whilst getting to our chosen setting, we come across a train crossing. 
-We should make sure to walk over the crossing, sensibly and when is best to do so.

* walking through the river with bare feet can cut her feet as there may be sharp objects that we cannot see. 
-Make sure to walk through the river carefully, finding a safe path in order to be able to film.

*Whilst filming on the bridge we have the risk of falling beneath or through the barriers at the sides, and risk of equipment falling in river.
- We need to use a tripod to keep the camera secure and still and stand as far in the centre as possible to be able to avoid falling over the barriers. 

*Risk of actress/actor falling or tripping over whilst filming.
- Make sure all equipment and bags etc are clearly out of the way and look to see if there is any uneven ground which would be unsuitable place for using as a running shot.

* Risk of getting scratched/ poked in the eye by branches or stinging nettles.
- This can be easily avoidable as we just choose not to film in unnecessary places which will cause harm to our actor and actress.

Changes

Due to the long processes that we would have had to go through to film at Audley end house we thought that we wouldn't have been able to film in time. So we have been through the village of Newport and discovered some great places to film, which we think will be a suitable place for filming.

Researching Different fonts

I like this font as it gives a personal touch as it seems to me that it could have been handwritten, and it's almost like they have left their mark. 




This font is more jokey, it has a girly feel to it yet very plainly written. 

This font is very appealing to me as its like 'bubble writing' which is seen as quite girly, the shaded in effect adds to the boldness of the name and looks like it would have taken a long time and put in a lot of effort to write this. 



These two fonts are Italic compared to the others, it gives the impression of the name being actually onto a piece of paper and adds to the realness and 3 dimensional effect.
