2nd Screening

This is our second screening of Battlefield, so what we have so far and the rough cut. We knew already we still do have enough shots and that almost most of them need to be retaken because of small errors also we have learned what bits need to be different and why from the feedback that we received. Hopefully by the next time we screen it we will have much more footage.

3rd feedback on blog (Shaun)

This is my third blog feedback from Shaun, from this I know that I need to upload more stuff as other people in my group have uploaded much more than I have. I now know what main blog posts I'm missing and need to do to get my blog fully up to date. I know as well that i need to finish my blog in order to be able to film and edit my music video.

Planning and Prep

In the two hours lesson we decided we would plan our availability so Laxmi drew this visual plan of everyones availability, so from this we can see when everyone can shoot and what days are not available for shooting. From this we all agreed that there always be at least 2 members of the group at all times while filming.

After doing this we was able to create a a production log to see when we was all filming next and which bit, we even colour coded it so all Graces bit we are filming are in yellow compared to all of Poppy's bits are in pink.

1st Screening

This is the first draft of which we have although there is minimal footage we still showed it to the class and got some feedback from them, the feedback of which we recieved was mostly all the same which was that we didn't have enough footage and that the shots are all basically the same. Although we knew all this, the feedback was obviously necerssery and was down to us leaving filming to a later date. Now in the future we know that it is important to get as much footage as soon as possible as it leaves us with much more time to edit.

Shaun did say that this was down to us leaving it to the last minute but also said it would teach us about managing our time effectively. One other critic which we recieved was the use of the white sheet as the background this was not great as we could see the creases in the sheet. Sinead also said it looked a little tacky, which we all agreed with so next time we will be looking to film in the Gallery.

Start of Filming

After school we set up the media staff room as a set for our filming using the white screen as the background and different sets of lights to add the lighting. While doing this Megan and Hayley both directed the shots informing Poppy of the lyrics and what part of the song she was miming to I made sure she was correctly performing the shots as well as filming the shots using a standard DSLR camera and tripod. Although I felt we may of needed a better scenery for the shot we carried on with the filming as this was only rough footage anyway. After finishing we had a bout 20-30 shots although we knew that most of this was not usable anyway we decided it would be enough for the moment.
