Monday 1st February Filming

Today our class hard to work very hard. I had between 9:00am and 7:00pm to get the whole third episode filmed, edited, and uploaded. I filmed at Colleridge school, and I was happy to see that the crew knew, understood and had made appropriate preparations for their role. Then I started shooting at around 11:00am and was finished and ready to upload by 12:20pm. No problems, a couple of disputes about what to shoot, but this was only because of the severe time shortage. I can confidently say that my group has all become much better at collaborating with each other, and as a team since my group started the project. I have to commend Loz as his camera work and handling today was brilliant. He made it look professional whilst holding a boom pole and mic at the same time. Best camerawork for the group so far. I really appreciate the improvement it made to the look and feel of the video.

Since this was our last assessed video my group all decided to make it very strange, to try and gather a new audience as well as giving some variety to the videos our group produce. As a result the video is very strange and completely different to any of the ones I have done before. Filming was fun, as I learnt my lines before hand (as did everyone else, since there was no time to waste) meaning we were able to keep filming for much longer without stopping to re-set up a shot.

Looking back and seeing the difficulties I had when I started, and then seeing how far I've come. Things that troubled me when we shot our first episode are simply second nature to me. All of our roles within the project were clearly defined by today, and I came off a lot better because of it.

When my group had finished we took the camera between us to Long Road and started uploading the footage. My group and I all gathered around the upload screen and gave our opinions on what to do with the footage to the editors. When the footage had uploaded, I left the editors to work on the footage. I went straight to our fan pages and started making posts about the filming.

When college ended I wanted to stay and help Hayden finish editing the footage but unfortunately I had to go. I rang him much later on to see how things were and was amazed to find he was still at college, working on the project.
