Editing

My editing is now almost complete with only small amounts still to do, my stop motion work also looks a lot better than i expected it to, and i was able to easily fit it too the lyrics, however it can be a problem if i accidentally unsync the whole film, as it requires a large amount of time to peice back together.

I have now filmed my stop motion section of my footage, i had problems with keeping the camera still and achieving the lighting i required. To fix these issues i ended up attaching the camera to a desk lamp, this mean that i could get the camera directly above the paper and have an adequate lighting source. However this does meant here is a slight shadow on one side of my paper, i hope to eliminate this issue when editing the footage together.

Evaluation

I am starting to work on my evaluation, my idea for my evaluation is to create a video containing all off the responses to the questions. This will allow me to include writing as well as moving images i have taken from my film.

Stop motion

I am going to attempt to film some stop motion writing of the lyrics, i am doing this as i have some gaps which i am not sure what part of my footage i can use. I feel that this would be better than putting footage into my film which does not look effective.

I have now edited together several minutes of my film, the most complicated part of the editing was editing the lip syncing jump cuts together, at one point i had to reuse another part of the filming but use the flop effect on it so that it filled the gap that there was.

Finishing my filming, and lessons i have learnt.

I am planning to film the rest of my media film later today, i am also going to re film the pieces of film that did not work before and i have found a new peice of software called handbrake, which should allow me to convert the footage in a much higher quality. I have also learnt that i must keep copies of the original footage, so that if the quality is affected by transferring the film too much i will be able to redo it.

Filming on Sunday the 4th

I filmed parts of my film which involve my actor walking through the streets, however when we attempted to film the more complicated parts of the film we found it very difficult and therefore i am having to work out another way how to film these parts. Or a way in which to simplify The lip syncing so that it is easier for my actor to do as at the moment fitting the different parts of lip syncing together is extremely difficult due to the fact i am attempting to fit together lip syncing with jump cuts, which means that if i get the lip syncing wrong at all, i have to re film the entire peice.
