Production today (editing and making production and distribution logos)

  Day Two of Editing

today we split up and continued with the edit. this left two of us working on the edit and the others creating the production icons. 

here is a surprise interview explaining everything our editing team has been up to

 

As you can see they have just started to add the fight scene and the sound effects this is a rough cut and something that is experiemental is the fact that they are using an audience sfx, even though there is not audience. This means that unless we can lower the background lights to black we may have to consider an alternative sound effect.

Editing: Day one

Day One of Editing

for the initial edit we used Final Cut Pro since it is the most professional editing software available to us and it is one we are most familiar with. this software also allows us to use edited clips from other sources. for example we filmed one shot in 50 fps and edited it in CinemaTools, which gave it a slow motion effect. Then we imported it into Final Cut  and added it to our film. 

we managed to fully edit roughly half of our film today. this includes sound effects, colour correction, match cutting, filtering and equalising. the only thing which is missing from the intro is the credits for which we will use after effects to animate them over the clip.

Filming day 2

After a one hour upload...

I have exported our vlog of day 2 of our filming. what we did is we filmed moments of interests and edited some parts out. We did not have the time to film a whole long filming session (around 10 hrs)but here is the 45min clip.

 
here are some pictures that we took

  These pictures show just how important lighting was for us. As you can seee most of our shots will have the lights blaring straighti nto the camera. This adds a nice, spotlight effect as though we are in a professional boxing ring.

Another comparrison of lighting this time we have dimmed the room but it still is quite bright so that there are no editing problems (lighting can be turned down in editing but, not up). Again the use of the dido lights have a strong effect on the dramatics of the scene. It makes the shadows casted stronger and more defined and also causes the camera to black out the outlines. Although there is still some debate about which one we will use we shot both.

Here is a quick shot of Yuksel directing the boxing scene

FIlming day missing

Sorry I tried my best but...

The camcorder (the camera we used for vlogging)  has completely broken and the video files on it are corrupted. so I am sorry but there is no filming for day one, however we should be filming tomorrow and have a day 2 post with a behind the scenes footage soon. We haveluckily got a picture that one of us took whichshows the locations

Reschdule and some chaos

as shown by our previous blogs we are meant to be filming today. Yeah not going to happen. 2 of our group members are not in. We have already filmed one scene but I am currently airing out my camcorder that we used to record a behind the scenes footage. A flash storm is not nice for camera recording equipment and I forgot about the little guy even though it was attached to my hand. I will upload the first filming day which was monday as soon as I can. 

Well today we decided to just sort of rehearse what we are doing next time we will be filming. here is the video, we filtered the video in a way that is similar to how we would our film to be.

We have schedule one 10 hour filming session on Wednesday the 19th. And it is a real dissapointmet because we had a fully booked boxing ring and it just looks bad. But oh well, we just have to make the best of a bad situation.

Pitch feedback

Here is how we felt from the pitch

*For this blog we recommned you scroll down and watch our pitch first*

Our Teacher felt that some risks were

• The clips duration may be too long
• We did not do the skills audit or the production ident
• Shoreditch may be too crowded
• The train at night may be a challenge

In light of this feedback we  have decided that:

• We will make sure that our clip has very short flashbacks
• We will add a skill audit and prodcution ident to the presentation
• we have chosen mostly backstreet areas and places that are not crowded for our locations
• We will just use a shot of an overground train, not necessarily at night

Here is how we felt it went
