Uploading raw footage

Uploading 1

Today our group managed to upload all our film progress after school for the third and fourth day of filming.
Watching back all of our filming, was enjoyable and I think we've made significant progress. However I did notice parts which were not as good as we'd like them to be. For example the ally shots which I loved filming will most probably have to be shot again. This is due to the contrast of the shots. It's to dark as we filmed this at night, I recommend next time we film about 4/5 when it just starts to get dark. Bearing that in mind if the contrast was brighter these shots would be prefect to use.
We were all thinking about this scene and thought we could do it in a forest by Forty Hill. The 'Hans Moleman' video we found on YouTube' inspired this, as the forest would be even more of a creepy place. We'll probably shoot both takes and see how it turns out.

However on the third day of filming when we shot the killer in the layre this turned out exactly what I hoped for! The visuals were gory and creepy which fits in perfectly to the scene.
However there were shots on this day which weren't as good as we hoped. For example when the killer is walking from his van to his door, most of this is to dark to see because we filmed about 8pm. We'll have to re-shoot all of this.
As we don't have the camera with us anymore we'll have to wait a couple of weeks and start editing in the meantime!

Today we our group had a de-brief talk about our film after we had uploaded it to our macs!
watching back all our footage was so funny and all the mistakes we made, but obviously these won't be added into our film!
As we have had to give back the cameras yesterday we still have credits to film and parts we missed out. however we did manage to film most of our film within two days.
Today we started to edit parts and put our takes in chronological order because it was not filmed this way. This was because we filmed the hardest part of the filming first which was the bath scene.
As we still have parts to film we will have to access the emergency camera to finish our filming. I never actually realised how time flys as we left filming to the last minute as most of us were busy, next time I have an encounter with something like this i'll have to put filming first. Now I'm just excited to start editing it more and see our film progress.
Tonight I'm going to see the new 'Twilight' movie which will be good; i'll also be looking out for editing techniques their film used to help further my research knowledge.
