Editing Stage 3

This session was focused on adding in effects to the production. We added some trasitions using mainly cross dissolve but also fading in black. The effects we added looked good and we were surprised by how much it had improved the video. As a group we decided that it was neccessary to do more editing over the half term break, so that we could meet the deadline for our first cut presentation. We arranged to meet on Thursday to do the editing.

Editing Stage 2

In this second editing session we edited the whole of the train scene. There was some questionable lip syncing unfortunately, but by having quick shot changes we should be able to alleviate that problem. After this scene and the walking part were completed we moved on to edit a little of the poker scene.

Editing Stage 1

We uploaded the captured footage onto the computer and exported it into Adobe Premiere after some slight deliberation. The footage was looked over and some of the bad shots were deleted, we managed to at least have a good shot for every part we wanted to show in the final cut. It was estimated that the amount of shots from the filming on Saturday 8th was enough to fill up 1 minute of the song, which is what we had hoped for.

Filming Stage 1 Re-done

On Monday 10th we went back to Whitehill Golf Club to film for the poker scene. This time was much easier and we had a better idea about what type of shot we wanted to capture. We had more of a focus on the faces and expressions of each character like we discussed. A few more shot variations were tried out, one being an overhead view of the poker table with the hands the players interacting with the chips. Generally a lot more focus produced some reasonable shots, which we were happy with.

Filming Stage 2

On Saturday 8th we gathered as a group to film the train scene and the travelling parts where the main protagonist walks through the street. We spent a large amount of time on the train, traversing between stops and constantly entering and exiting. It was worth the effort though, as we managed to get a substantial variation of shot types. There were some fairly atmospheric viewpoints which we captured, such as the glass of the train reflecting George's image.

After we had completed this part we filmed George in differing locations in and around Cheshunt's less desirable looking areas. Following the call sheet as closely as the locations would allow us to. I believe we may have to go back to a similar area or perhaps the same area, to get more interesting shots. This does depend on what we find out when editing however.
