Brief Update

A quick update, of what’s been going on. As I stated in my last blog me and Chloe had a busy week ahead of us to get all filming done. I’m pleased to say things have gone somewhat well, we managed to secure all the chase scenes we need and they are currently being rendered into a suitable format by Mr Earl so we can start editing and start piecing everything together. However we have still yet to shoot any of the band scenes due to issues with securing either the hall or the drama room to shoot it and issues involving actors not being able to shoot due to other commitments, which also apply to me and Chloe, we have had other things to attend to. But hopefully the entire band shots will be done on Monday, I’m really hoping it will only take the one night, and then I can get the footage to the sir the next day for rendering and start slotting in the band shots with the chase scenes. I feel more confident now that me and Chloe will definitely have the rough cut video up by next Friday which we have been given an extension for, due to the problems we have had with filming which Mr Earl knew about. So yeah chase scenes all shot, it’s funny how it ended up in a creepy wood setting like I first envisioned. The video goes through a suburban estate, into some woods, the back into another estate, then into the building where the band is playing. So it’s quite varied in the different settings, I’m just hoping all the footage looks good and we don’t have to go out a re-shoot and that sir thinks it’s at a decent standard. I do have a backup idea for video if sir thinks it’s not up to scratch or doesn’t look good, so I’m not too worried, it’s just the hassle of having to do all this again which would bug me if happens. Me and Chloe also used various shots throughout the chase scenes to give it a decent variety and some of them do look really good and work really well with the video, the hardest ones was the point of view of the mystic force chasing the man in the video and the ones where it had to be an extreme close up of my face running which was difficult because I had to hold the camera, made sure it had my face in shot, run and have a face full of fear and panic, which is really difficult, but I managed to pull it off to the best of my ability. When it comes to the band scenes there is a whole variety of shots we are going to use, so I’m definitely confident we will have a varied range of shots altogether. So next week we finish the filming (god I hope so) and then we start editing, which I’m not overly looking forward to because I have only used editing software once and that was for a basic task, this one is going to take a lot more work and also definitely require a lot of work as well. So that’s all for now stay tuned for the next update and the rough cut next Friday x
