session 14-15



Ed and I have been doing the editing of our end of sequence film, with the help of our teacher.
We have been doing the editing to make it more snappy and move on so that it would build up the tension, but to help us do that we still need to do the sound track and film the very last part of the film where we can make it seem that, this clip is the end of it.
We need to make the threat towards the hostage a little more, powerful to make the audiance feel that the hostage will die before the hero saves her from death. So with that i think that we need to re-film, but then again we might not have to because we are running out of time to finish he filming and editing. Also, we have had comments on our film and we are taking them to hand so that when we do something like this again, we can use them and have a better film/video,project to hand in.

Session 12-13


Ed and I, have done most of the filming,we need to take some close ups and need to do the scene when Jacob (Lewis-saver) comes in and saves the hostage, and then we need to do the sound track for the movie.
I'm not sure when we are going to do the filming but I think if not today then next week, but we have all ready missed are dead line I don't want to go any farther away :/

Session 11




We didn't film at lunch yesterday because our actors were in a class so we are going to be filming today at lunch time and we are going to be filming the footage with the hostage, terrorists and the interrogator and then when that is done we can spend the time editing it and making the sound track for the film. We have also re-written the script three times because we had to change it to go with the changes that we have made to the film.

Session 9-10





Ed and I, have done some new filming and we have the footage and the photos.
We are also going hoping that we can film at lunch time to do the rest of the filming, and then we can spend the rest of the week editing and doing the sound track for the end sequence of the film, which is going to me taking place in the Media studio.

Session 7-8




Ed and I, have been discussing the project because, we are having to re-think it, and putting forward new idea's, or having idea's to change the project but keeping most of the first idea of the hostage, but they get saved and we are taking out the robbery so that the filming is shorter. So, we are having to re-film the project and reconsider some of the actors and replace them with some of are class mates.

session 5-6



We have finally filmed the first part of the film and we maybe filming the end part today or tomorrow in our free. The first part of filming was good but we had someone else do the filming for us because me and Ed were both in the first part (Ed-ROBBER and me- HOSTAGE).
So we asked a friend to do the filming for us, but because they didn't really know how we wanted it to be filmed, we are going to be editing the footage that we have now and edit it to make a good enough first part of the film. However, we are now going to reshoot the film because its not good filming to edit because you cant cut footage that has the camera moving and the person still talking. so we shall be filming it on monday and also filming the ending of it, so we get it done all on the one day.

session 4



We are going to do same filming (finally) and we are going to film in our free, and i hope that we get most of it done, or all of it in one day, which will be really good, coz then we will be court up and then next week we can start editing with everyone else, and hopefully hit the deadline. (but I'm not holding my breath). Our actors should be filming with us, and if not then we have others that would be able to film with us.

Session 3

Once again we have to wait till tomorrow to do the filming because, are actors keep changing, and we are having difficulty finding some where to film the sequences.
At this rate we wont be able to hit the dead line, and that will make the editing suffer. Getting people to film when we can is hard too because not a lot of them can film when we can.
i am hoping that we will film tomorrow so that we can finally get started with the project.
We have found some rooms that might work for the filming and if we need to add anything in to them by PhotoShop then we can use the 'GREEN' room to help with that.
We may use them because they might be right for the filming.

Session 2



Edward and I, are re-planing for the film, to get some more actors in are film and re-thinking the schedule.
We where supposed to start filming in the first lesson today, but since we are lacking the actors at the moment, we are re-thinking it so that we can film around the situation.
However, we also need to talk about props and clothing, so we need to spend a little more time on the discussion before we start filming.

Session 1



In our first session, we discussed on the locations of the filming and then the equipments for the filming. We also did a booking form so that we could reserve the equipment that we need to use for filming. We also did a production schedule for the days that we are going to film. We are also doing auditions for the cast, to play in the film. We have made a call sheet, and we are also discussing when to do the auditions so that we can start filming.

Summery of results from poster Questionnaire

Level 2 students took the questionnaire and the summery is,
that all of the L2 students are 16 years old, the last film that every one watched was a action movie, 50 % of the students liked poster one to be the most effective and 75 % f them thought that poster 3 to be the least effective. However, i thought different, i liked poster three because it was simple and you get the mystery out of it. I think that poster 3 would be a god teaser poster just to show or see how many people would want to come and see it. There are also one female (not including me) and 7 males in are class. Every one watched a different film, Happy Potter, Up, Hurt locker, The Tourist, The A-Team, 127 Hours, and paranormal activity 2.

My task was to take photos of art work from around the college because, I was absent on that trip.
My task was to do the same but take photos of art from the college and use the images to complete the practical task.
We had to design our own contact sheet for the task and create something your own in your own way with the colours and photos. We were given the out line of the 12 squares that we had to put the photos in and write underneath what artists did what piece and when thy did it.
I had to do partly the same but with out saying who did it and when, because, its the college students art work and the art work is put around the college so that students and visitors can admire them. All of the photos that are in the 12 squares are the art work that the art students have made.
The trip that i had missed was to go to the Saatchi Gallery in London, who was opened by Charles Saatchi, so he could show people his collection of contemporary art.
In 2010, it was announced that the gallery would be given to the British public, becoming the Museum of contemporary art for London.
