Editing

I have put all of our clips together and the editing is complete for the abandoned house scene and the scene of conor running home, i am pleased with the outcome and was surprised with the power which final cut pro x possess compared to iMovie which we used last year, especially with lighting and colouring effects. In this production i have put a great emphasis on overlaying shots and i feel they work well and give a sense of hallucination which we are trying to portray to the viewer through the alcohol and drug use within the film. Filming should be completed this week and i will edit the final piece together over the next 2 weeks.

Church Scene

James and I went filming last night and we filmed the church scene, so over the next week we plan on filming the flashbacks to fill the gaps which are evident within our timeline then get Conor and Sionon together again and film the scene of Conor being thrown out of the house and him returning to the house, this should be filming completely finished, so I will concentrate on editing and putting the final piece together and James will concentrate on the website and the Album Cover.

Mid Production

We are mid- way thorough production. We are now working to fill the gaps in film timeline. We have a series of flash backs to include of which we are going to film on Monday 19th March. These will be in the chapel and in a local park. We are going to try and create an atmosphere of  unease and loss. We are going to use a candle altar and an empty swing and Conor playing football with his son along with a few other shots. We also have to film the scene of conor being thrown out of his home and his return to the house.


Here is a screenshot of our production so far :

Lighting

we had several problems with lighting in particular in the scenes in the house. Gavin has readjusted some of the clips using the exposure settings on final cut pro. There was one particular clip were our female actor threw her ring to the floor, however it didn't correspond with the previous frames we flipped this clip in order to allow it too fit. We are currently working on transitions and fade aways.

First filming session

Gavin and I had our first filming session on Sunday 26th February. Our actor was unavailable so we decided in the interests of the group that we would pick a new lead actor. We picked Conor who was in our group last year and is familiar to what we are trying to do. This made the filming session easier as Conor knew what we were trying to achieve with the different shots. We started by filming in the abandoned house with our main actor we did this as we had perfect light. It went well and then we did the running scene between the two houses. There was some problems with light and passing traffic however i think we have done well with the footage.
