Planning - Recee Sheet.




These are our recee sheets from a location we could film at. We went to Wollaton Park as it was a convenient location for both of us and there are a number of different spots in the park at which we could  film our project.

On the twenty-ninth day...

... the preliminary assessment was completed.


Here is the clip we recreated from the project 'Pendant'.



The first problem we faced was that when we went out to film, it started to rain heavily. This meant we had a limited amount of time to film, as we couldn't film in the rain, due to technological issues.
We didn't have any other major issues, apart from having to find a new actor at the last minute as our original one had other commitments.

On the positive side, once the rain passed, we managed to get all of our shots done quickly without the quality suffering. Also, our location was perfect for the shoot, as it was almost exactly the same as the original and it was fairly quiet with regards to passers by, probably due to the rain.

Overall, we are pleased with what we have produced as we feel that the piece flows smoothly due to careful filming and editing.

On the twenty second day...

...we uploaded our visual composition video.


Here is the video of our 'Visual Composition' exercise. We story-boarded our ideas beforehand.

When editing the video our mac crashed so we didn't have time to edit it as much as we would like.

This is the original piece we have chosen to recreate 30/40 seconds from.

On the fifteenth day...

...we blogged twice.


We shot another scene today, trying to work on continuity. Here it is...


When we looked back at our video, there were a few continuity errors, which we managed to cut them out.

We did a number of different shots for example: an extreme close up or mid-shot.

All of our shots look how they are described, we stuck to the guidelines, and filmed the correct number of shots.

As we didn't have much time to edit, we didn't manage to create a particular atmosphere. We can improve our work next time by making sue we stick to the continuity rules.

On the fifteenth day...

...the video was uploaded.


The highly anticipated 'Stalker' scene is now available for public viewing. So, sit back, relax and enjoy :)
