Diary of FilmingWednesday 22nd February 2012Today was the first day we were able to film after the half term which we couldn’t do as a lot of members we were unable to get hold of. Today was stressful and manic at first as this was our last chance to film and our camera person wasn’t present. Once we had sorted that issue out we were able to start filming the box scene. We set everything in up in the green room as the drama studio was occupied by another class and it worked really well. We were able to get the room dark enough so that the only light source was candle light which we safely used without the fire alarms going off. Once we had set up the box and all the prehistoric material around it, we were ready to shoot in a handheld motion and it came out the way we wanted it. About 2 hours later we went outside and shot the scene with our actress after retrieving the dress and fake blood that we had borrowed. Whilst we were all pitching in with the best way to film in, we managed to take a whole load of shots just to make sure that we had the right ones.

Diary Of Editing Wednesday 29th February 2012 We started editing later then everyone else because we

couldn’t film as early but once we started only three group members were present. We have never had a session where all the group members have been available to participate at the same time. There were a few complications with our footage as there were a lot of glitches due to a conversion that had to take place because I was unaware that you could not put the memory in a PC as the files are different to a Mac. Once that had sorted which took up most of the time, with the little time we had left we had to try and sort through the footage we did and didn’t want. We got rid of some of it but because of a bit of conflict between

the group we didn’t get to finish this task.

Diary Of Editing 2 Friday 2nd March 2012

Today was the second day of editing where all group members were present except one. Continuing with the discarding of footage from the last session, we managed to narrow down what footage were the definite ones that we were going to use. We managed to put them together as a rough cut on the timeline but the glitches still occurred until we rendered it all. This was a load off our shoulders

otherwise we would’ve had to shoot all over again. The rough-cut took us

a while and we were not able to stay behind for along as most lecturers with access to the editing suite had to leave.

Nonetheless we managed to add a few titles and figure out how add sounds and effects for the next stage of our construction.
