Construction - Editing

To day i began to edit my footage using After Efects CS5, I stabilised by footage of the car driving down the road and then used colour correction. I had a few problems stabalising because my footage was so shacky. So i had to track my footage a few times and scale up.

Construction - Converting video files

Today i imported all my footage onto the Apple Mac. I then used Toast Titanium to convert my footage into HDV (High Definition Video) .mov (Quicktime) so that it is compatible with the Apple programs I will use for editing such as Final Cut Pro, After Effects CS5 and Motion. Once the conversion is complete i will then copy all my footage onto the brain (External Hard Drive) so that there is no way I can lose my footage. I will then wipe the footage from the camera so it is ready for the next time someone uses it to film. I also signed out a video mic for this week so i can record Terry's monologue.

Example Of Release Form

Here is one of the 5 Release forms that i got each of my actors to sign, just like they would have to do if this was a real film. This form covers the director of being sued if one of the actors attempts to make a case saying they do not want to be in the film.

Construction - Filming Complete

Finaly!! :-D

On saturday the 4th of december i filmed all my footage that i would need for my project. I arrived down at the 5mile road and meet the other actors at Le Braye car park at 2.00pm. Here we relised that there was a probelm that there was alot of people around and this would not be idea for my film and also as we were using replicar guns we might have trouble if the police were called, so we drove up the roade and found a car park that was empty and very well hidden. Terry brought down his work collegues and so alltogether i had 5 Actors. One of them brought his Audi Q7 and so this is the car i used for the majority of my filming. I took a few takes with the Camera on the hourse shoe grip filming outside the car window as we drove, this gave me shacky footage however i will use after effects to correct this. Then i fillmed the rest of my footage needed. The weather conditions were far from idea for filming outside and there was waterdroplets on the lense of the camera during filming whitch is not idea, but due to the restrictions of time i have left i will have to ,ake do with what i have got. We finished filming at around 3.30 and i got the ladds to sign the release forms and thanked them for there help.

Audi Q7 That i used.

Construction - Filming

The weather has cleared up today so i am set to film tomorrow, i will either meet with terry noel at lunch to discuss tomorrow or i will phone him tonight so he knows exactly were and when he needs to be at the 5mile road for tomorrow, he will then contact his work colleagues who are also in the film. I have also printed off my release forms.

Construction - Finished titles
