Filming Day 3

Filming Day 1

Above are some examples of the kinds of shots that we achieved on day one of filming. As it was the first day of filming we were only just getting used to the cameras and what kind of features we were able to pick up immediately through general trial and error and fiddling about with some settings and the lens, focusing and unfocusing. We stuck to our shooting schedule and headed up to an area containing a park by Sutton Bus Garage. We shot some useful filler footage that we have used throughout our video included the character in the mask in urban environments and hidden amongst the bushes and trees.

One issue that we had was that on the day of filming it was extremely bad weather and the wind rendered our equipment useless as the sound was severely muffled and we were not able to get many accurate, professional shots as we were being blown about by the wind. Therefore we came out throughout that week and reshot some of the inaccurate shots we wanted to change.

Filming Day 2

These a collection of some of the kinds of similar shots and footage that we gained whilst out filming on day two. We stuck to our shooting schedule and found this quite urban feeling alley with graffiti and various other aspects that were beneficial in terms of mise-en-scene. We worked with a number of unorthadox shots included a 360 degree spin in the centre of the alley which we inserted into our video appropriately. However one thing we noticed was that because we filmed in the day time the shots weren't so uneasy which contrasted with the rest of the video. We looked into reshooting these particular shots at a later time or putting some effects onto it to make it slightly darker looking.

Editing Day 4

After gaining feedback throughout the whole of our project we came to the conclusion that the whole video was lacking some minor changes which would give it that fully urban feel. We researched the appropriate brightness and contrast effects and applied it to all of our footage which took away some of the light making it a lot more relevant to the genre of drum and bass. We applied this using Adobe Premiere on the effects section of the application adding contrast and lowering the brightness a little.

We also adding in some new additional footage we had filmed on previous days which included some new main strands with update lip syncing to replace some of the more unprofessional looking shots we had taken previously. This footage also included filler shots which we slotted in throughout our video to bulk it out and make it more fast paced to fix up the flow.

Editing Day 3

Above we have created a short clip through TubeChop to highlight some of the aspects we focused on, on day three of editing. After gaining some feedback we decided that the pace of the video was unsustainable and it didn't flow completely well. Therefore we worked on cutting our clips to the beat more accurately and created some flashing effects with the masked character to again sustain the creepy, uneasy effect.
