may 15th Filming
Today I finished the main shot of filming, all that there is left to do is edit and perhaps refilm any lines I may have missed out accidentally, I have been Editing over the past week , especially doing sound work and special effects, and also working on Colour Correction on My film I also gave up on the chance at working on a Mac and the Motion software and colour for filter effects but cause of the poor quality of it Avi conversion so it can work on Adobe Premiere, I worked On After Effects Instead and have been learning how to use it. I Filmed With Kiel today and filming only took a few minutes and wasn’t a particularly formal, but we shot it the way we could and was successful in doing that.

Filming for the 2nd of may
We started to film the ending scene for my film, and we also filmed the beginning of my film to in miles house,
The start of filming didn’t go so well because I planned to do voice over’s in a quite room but everywhere was busy and we did it in an empty science room, where there was noise anyway, I was planning to get miles and James to do a voice over so I could film them in long shot ots style , my actors would wear a small ipod earphone in one ear so as a script prompter, but we couldn’t put the sound film on the ipod successfully, so we continued filming anyway, we did some tracking shots and close ups instead because the college atrium was absolutely busy and we couldn’t film is successfully, but we adapted and shot in close up instead and also filmed tracking shot that I wanted, albeit not very good ones but it was a style that I wanted to incorporate, or copy from films I watched. we then we able to film in miles house which was interesting cause I was planning to film at my but since his house was free and close by I decided to film there, and since it was allot quieter, Miles was able to relax more and we got a more interesting Performance, I even acted in it myself, with miles doing camera work, from pov shot, from where he was sitting, we were able to get longer take with a more fluid acting on ms, and we got Ecu on detail like picking up glasses and keys, one small problem is that since we were using a Sony camera, one that we haven’t used before, we were sure how to use focus or exposure, and there was a little problem with exposure in my shots since there were windows behind me, but the silhouette was that sharp, and doesn’t hinder the viewing experience that much. But all in all it was a good day of filming, and have nearly finished, I only have pick up shot I need to do, refilm Kiels bits, two starts editing, I was also wondering about putting in 2 more scenes to add to the film. But I will see if I have the time.
