DepictT! Progress Diary

12/10/2016

Today we continued with our story boards for our 90 second short. We were also supposed to do a location rec but we are not 100% certain on which forest we will be going to in order to shoot. Although we have come up with the entire story line for our film so in the next lesson, we will be able to complete the storyboards in full detail.

We continued to finish our story boards for our 90 second short and by the end of the lesson, it had been completed. I then started to work on the risk assessment, and that is one of the main things i am focusing on next lesson.

Today we finished off our pre-production paper work and we are finally ready to shoot. We will be shooting after the lesson at Nexus forest which is behind the Nexus college, near James Paget. The 90 second short for DepicT! will be filmed during the evening because we need it to be dark.

Today we finished filming our 90 second short, we changed the idea of filming in the dark because firstly, it did not turn out as well as we thought it would, plus the screen was too dark and you could not see anything. So instead we filmed today in the woodland area or the Reck Forest opposite the college. We managed to film the whole film within the two lessons we had today. Towards the end of the second lesson we uploaded all of our footage onto the Mac and began editing.

Today we completed most of our editing for our 90 second short. We have added in lots of ambient sound effects and sound effects in general. Our only task left is to add the static effects and glitches which will make our film complete. We did have a problem with the premiere software because of lots of files clogging up space in the computer so we were not able to save or render our film, by the second lesson it was fixed and we were able to continue.

Today we added in a few of our final sound effects and tried to render our video, because the file is so large we could not render the video in time meaning we will have to render it at the start of next lesson in order to complete and add in the final effects.

Today we added the static effects to make it look like 'found footage' and added in our final sound effects. All that is left is to render, export and upload to YouTube so we can start our evaluation, in which we need screenshots.

Today was the day that we added in our final static effects into our 90 second short and uploaded it to YouTube.
