Week 7 catch up

This week we spent a lot of time in the editing room again, we came in two lunchtimes i chose tuesday and wednesday and two after schools i chose tuesday and thursday. It was really boring constantly in the editing room but it gives us an insight into what the editing business is really like, we were editing a 2 minute film they editing a 2 hour film.

We had a bit of a problem this week though, it was spencers idea that we should film all the shots without sound and then play a mastertrack over the top of the sound, so film everything seperataly and then film everythings from the mastershot angle. The problem was as Alex's (our actor) actions changed slightly whenever he did it the sound and the actions didn't match up properly.

however this didn't mean we had to do a re-shoot as we think we will be able to sort it out on the computer, as we can get the sound from different shots as just to be safe we shot them with sound aswel.

what did i learn this week?

this week i learnt that in the media industry one take is not good enough, even if you think you've got it perfect you have to do atleast two or three shot's just to make sure, if we hadn't been extra safe when shooting and did the sound in the shots we wern't meant to have sound anyway we would be re-shooting. 

see you next week x
