Production Diary - 23/10/2015

I started the new year in a group with three other people and during the time that I was working with that group we had done some filming and a lot of blog work, however recently I have changed groups so that now I am only working with one other person. Since changing groups I have had to update my blog so that it is now up to date with what we plan to do for our production. The blogging phase has gone very well and I have kept everything up to date and tried to complete all my posts so that they are at the best of my ability.

I have also done a lot of filming during the past couple of weeks since I have changed groups and we are now at a point where we have nearly finished filming everything that we need to, to use for our final production. During the filming process we have worked together to change and edit any previous shots that had been filmed and also to adapt our idea. The filming process has been rather stressful as we have used people from outside of our school and it was hard to try and meet up with everyone at our desired locations and film during that same day but I do think that the footage that we have got is very good, although I am still open to suggestions for after our first cut deadline to help improve our final production.

The editing stage of our production is rather difficult because we are not using the software that our school is providing us with (Adobe Premiere) instead we are using IMovie on Lydia's Mac at her house, so it has been fairly difficult for us to edit, although we do talk to each other a lot about how we want everything to look and what music we would like to put over the footage etc. during either the filming stage or when we are school, we have arranged a few dates where we are both free to go to hers and edit our footage so that we can both have input on how everything should be.
