Production: Rough Cut 1

1ST ROUGH CUT

Production: Editing Rough Cut 1

This is a gif from editing the first rough cut. We noticed, even though we used a fig rig, most of the shots were jerky. Many of them were blurry. Some shots have poor lighting, such as the shots in the corridor and locker room. We sped up some of the footage, such as the establishing shot of the college. After reviewing the shots, we decided to re-film a majority of the shots.

Planning: Blogging Health Check 2 (task41)

Since the last blogging health check in December, 2014, my score has improved by 3 marks and gone up 2 grades, from a C to an A. I am pleased with the progress so far and I'm glad that I've taken into account my teacher's comments for blogging health check 1- by adding more technology. To improve my blog even further, I want to expand on some of the groups posts, such as the costume and sound posts. 

Filming Day 2: Introducing The Characters

Day 2: Today didn't go entirely to plan, as a majority of our planned cast couldn't get into college due to the bus strike. However, we still managed to get a decent amount of students to portray different stereotypes. 

Here, Danica is ensuring that the lens cap is off and adjusting the tripod to shoulder height of Andre, our 'Nerd'

Here, two of our cast members (a Mean Girl and a Jock) come into the camera shot from behind the camera and the Nerd is seen from coming into the shot from the righthand side. 

Planning: Our Twitter Page

We decided to set up a twitter page, so that when we are filming we can keep our teachers updated with what we're filming. We can update our progress and post pictures of behind the scenes.

Planning: Branding Our Blog (task 37)

To brand our blog, we changed the main colour theme to black. This makes the blog seem like an old computer. We chose the font 'courier' as this is one of the fonts we considered to link with our film, CYB3R. The colour of the blog gives a hint to the audience that the film had a dark storyline and there could be a lot of tension and surprises throughout the film. 

We chose an image of different equations written out. This reflects on the main character, The Nerd. The blue glow of the equation draws peoples' eyes to it, making them a major focal point.

For the header of our blog, we chose the title card that we used for our pitch
