Welcome to my A2 blog

In my final year of media studies i will have to comlete a 5 minute short film with my group. Our work will have to be independent and to the highest standard possible. This blog will show my individual and group's progress.

Construction 1 - Shooting on location

Today was very unsuccessful! We started filming and didn't realise that the camera was on manual focus which meant that all our shots were really really unfocused. We didn't realise until we got back to school and started uploading our footage onto the mac. It's a slight hurdle in our progress but we are going to re-film on our next shooting day. We know what we have to do now so it shouldn't take too long. We will have to remember to put the focus on auto!! We had been filming our cafe scene, we have made the set ourselves out of a grey free standing board, some hand made signs and a table and chair in front. We showed the footage to our media teacher and he made us aware that it didn't look proffessional or convincing enough. Lucy has asked her boss for permission to film at her cafe where she works so we have a cafe location. Our teacher has also gave us the idea of doing a green screen for our news report which will be brilliant. We are going to follow a tutorial as we havn't got a clue how to chroma key.
