Meeting 4/3/14

Today we could not add any more film as we are waiting till Friday to film out final scene of the video. So today we decided it was important to do the colourisation of our opening scene, we where unsure on how we will create the transition between the sepia tone in the housewife shoot and the brightness of the London shoot. We decided to experiment with the colourisation by reducing the saturation on the beat of the music and the pace of body movements, however when watching it back we realised that the transition was clumsy and simply looked like the lighting had changed. We have to review this again when we next edit.

Meeting 14/2/14

In today's lesson we decided to incorporate something that we hadn't seen or attempted to do before, making frames of different stages of a scene and colourising two contrasting colours per frame. We found it difficult to choose two colours that went together and complimented each other without making it look unclear or amateur. What we also found difficult with this technique was measuring the frame so that it they are parallel to one another, the software could not give us a mathematical estimation of where the frames needed to be so we had to branch out and use a ruler, the process was very tricky.

Meeting 16/12/13

                                                                                Today we tried to get dates down to film over christmas time as by now our plans for the holidays are more clear. Although we have an online events calender which we fill in when we have plans, it has been hard to keep up with when everyone is free.

We have decided for this reason that we will film after our mocks which will finish mid January. We decided that Kirsten will be doing the filming and me and Nicola will be helping with the editing as well as directing with the filming.

Meeting 12/12/13

Today we discussed the dates that we would be free to film over the next week and the Christmas holidays. We realised it would be very difficult to film next week as we have coursework deadlines, as well as this we are all going to see family around Christmas time. Another issue we have come across is the upcoming mocks.  These are being held in January, so due to revision and the rush to edit means it will be hard.

Meeting 10/12/13

We wanted to finish Storyboard that we had started, the process of planning has been a struggle as we all very different ideas of what we want in out video and how we will go about it. While we where story boarding we decided that our intro would be best silent, with as comedic feel to it which will break out into the music.

We came up with a visual schedule of the next week and agreed that if we had a clear view of what we wanted to do, we could attempt to do it in lesson time, but this is quite unrealistic as our individual thoughts are strong but collectively vague.
