Journal- Uploading

Today in our double lesson as a group we had my laptop to upload our footage, the five of our videos whilst we were up London varied in length as shown on our shooting log therefore the time varied to how long they took being uploaded, once we had set the laptop to upload we continued to work on our digi-pack ideas, as a group we had a good concept but had to make changes for each of ours to be different from one another. I believe our group is very competitive and this therefore will lead to our group wanting all of our project in every aspect to be perfect,a digi-pack is one that we want to make ours the best.

Review of 1st shoot

When making our way to the shoot we were really excited bout shooting because we have had a picture in our heads for months and to finally film felt so good. We started filming near the eye to begin with to get the sun going down in the distance behind, this shot was filmed on my camera for two hours continuously, we really enjoyed it till about an hour when we was all wanted to move because of the freezing weather. My camera run out of battery after two hours, therefore we completed, packed away and moved on to our next part, whilst waiting for the film Tommy noticed over the wall a merry go round, we then decided to go round and film there for a while too, obviously i took one for the team and went on the ride. We then moved onto Westminster bridge for our next location, this went very well especially with the people walking in the shot, it shows London's popularity and busy streets reflect what we want to achieved, a well established, desired destination. Following the bridge we went and had a break with hot drinks but then came back to film Big Ben, a shot we really liked when researching and was really happy to find it. We at this point film my camera with footage and a tape of Tommy's, we had one more tape with an hours footage left, therefore we filmed Big Ben for an hour and completed the night with a beautifully lit shot of the eye and the museum. To sum up the shoot i really enjoyed myself and so did the group, it didn't help that Nick didn't feel to good because he had to stand around, but I'm glad and i feel Tommy and Nick are too because from seeing our footage we are really pleased.

Things we could of done better....

• Took another camera for more footage to film.
• Another battery pack to have more time for the footage.
• make sure we have hats, gloves and something to keep us warm.
• Food and supplies to keep us going and feel better.

Here are some photos...

Lip Sync Practicing

TimeLapses

First filming shoot

Today was our first filming shoot, we were very happy and pleased for the result once we uploaded, but the process was very tiring because it was freezing and we were standing for at least four and a half hours in numerous places the most being two and a bit hours, but when uploading the footage it was well worth it. To once again say our objective, it was to create a glamourous look with bright colourful and exciting to watch as well as the entertainment factor, i think with these shots, we can achieve this...

Route Plan for London Locations

As we would like to film in about four different locations, we decided to locate each place and link them to what places are close to one another, this creating a quicker time to get there and also more time to not get lost.. We planned by going onto google earth and locating where we where going to stand and film, we then identified where places where and created a route so we saved time for ourselves.

How to find our locations?

When wanting to find our locations to create our time-lapse as a group we decided to have a look at images on google, when getting more in depth with research Tommy suggested to go onto google earth to locate the exact points, this is good and accessible because of it being on the internet, its also free so we are taking advantage of our resources be as well prepared as we can be. Here are some pictures below from google earth that we found...

lip syncing

Today some of our group decided to practice a lip sync, this is when the person on the screen mimes the words to look as if he or she is singing the song. It was very fun to do, especially as we could not take out the sound, therefore it is worse because you can hear us singing..

Locations for our dance scene

We have an idea of where we would like to produce a dance scene in our schools drama studio, it has professional light dark walls like a dance club and also a lot of space to work with.. In the pictures it has amazing to use already, also adding our accessories such as glow stick, disco lights and extras we will create this into our dance scene..

Inspired by..

When we have been watching to get inspiration, we came across a number of videos, these include Madonna's Ray of light video, Time lapses from people on youtube to get an idea of how we would like ours and also just to see and put an image to our idea with our thoughts, so here they are below.. We want ours to be similar and bright and colourful like Madonna's using all the lighting from the iconic building, cars and also street lights...
