for one of the scenes we needed it to be just before dark At around 4pm we was ready to shot, as it was winter it had got dark a lot quicker than we had anticipated and the lack of natural light prevented any of our shots to be visible enough to see the action within the scene. However, it was a learning tool that when we come back to do that scene again, we would come slightly earlier to give ourselves more time to set up, and to come with a plan of what we want to film.

for one of the scenes we needed it to be just before dark At around 4pm we was ready to shot, as it was winter it had got dark a lot quicker than we had anticipated and the lack of natural light prevented any of our shots to be visible enough to see the action within the scene. However, it was a learning tool that when we come back to do that scene again, we would come slightly earlier to give ourselves more time to set up, and to come with a plan of what we want to film.
Filming
Filming day 3 (31st
January 2013)
Today we filmed the scene were Fahad
writes the letter and decides he wants to commit suicide. we had to re-film a
few times because we had to fix our continuity editing as in some shots there
were people in the background and in the next shot then there was not so we
thought the best idea would be to film when there is no one around so it won't
mix up.
Filming
filming day 2 (29th
January2013)
Today we filmed the first part of
the chase when Fahad enters the common room and the bully chase after. filming
this went well we just had to have the same people again to film the next day
which was quite difficult as they all had other things they needed to but in
the end we managed to film,
Post production
After our filming task
was completed during the following week was the editing stage. We used MAC
Computers and two types of software, Final cut pro and logic pro.
As a group we had to decide what footage we would use to put into our final piece.
Some of the footage was really good and others had a disadvantage, usually either to dark , not showing the whole picture or there was a mistake in the acting. When we had decided on the film we used Final cut programme to put them together.
we all took turns on editing however smara was the main editor. At first i found it difficult, i had never used the programme and was feeling not so confident that we would do this all in a week. After adjusting to the process we added effects such as black and white to represent the flashbacks so the audience would be able to know the difference, we added other effects such as dissolves and fades to make the scenes drift in and out.
It began to be frustrating trying to locate and put them back within the sequence to make it at least 2 minutes long. I found the editing stage very stressful and not as enjoyable as the filming process, simply because i was not used to the programme and began panicking as i thought we would not have it finish in time. However, because of every ones input we was able to get the final copy created and fit our soundtrack on top.

Today we swapped
roles as yesterday Fahad and Inoshan were editing and today me and samara did
the editing. when editing we realized that we had all ready reached to 2 minutes
long of the film and we still hadn't edited half of the footage so we decided
to edit the whole film regarding of how long it will be and from there we will
cut scenes out to make it up to 2 minutes and half at least. we also stayed
after school today while Inoshan and Fahad finished filming the last parts of
the film that we will hopefully be editing tomorrow.
Editing

Today we uploaded
most of our footage we still had to reshoot some scenes meanwhile we started
editing our sequence. I felt this time our editing went better than last time
when we attempted t edit because we got some practice on different was of shooting
so they can fit when we edit. in today's
lesson we got half way through our sequence hoping that we will be done by the
end of this week. we also stayed after
school to edit some more we had some errors wit our footage when importing
however we managed to sort that out in the end. while we were editing Fahad was
making the sound for the sequence on garage band we all decided on the music
and Fahad will be putting it together
seeing as he has had some experience on using garage band so far we have been
working well as a group.
