Unfinished photo of the Emos

This is the photo of our stereotypical group of "emos". This picture has not yet been edited in photoshop to remove the background so that we can substitute a new one in, this will allow us to put a picture behind the people and make it more professional. The mood for this picture is meant to be very dark and moody, this is due to the stereotype of the emo as being very depressed and sad. For the background for this picture I am thinking of putting iconic emo symbols for example some of the pictures below.

Unfinished photo of the nerds

For our media we have done a section on the stereotype of the nerd/ geek we thought this photo would be good due to the fact that they look like the ideal stereotype which allows the audience to engage with the video because they can reconise and relate to these people. Also I thought this picture has a humous side to it so it could amuse the audience. This is also a major part of a musical becuase otherwise the mucial would be boring and numbing even if it did have a good storyline. This picture also still has to be edited in photoshop to remove the background.

Filming the new section of transition from the garden area to the library.

Today we filmed a new section of transition footage where we go from the garden area of the school where the "emo's" scene was filmed to the library where the nerds scene was filmed. This section had to be redone due to time constraints on the video we had been set.

The part of the film opening that we cut out was the female main character as this was easy to cut out due to only having to make slight adjustments to the transition stage footage and also it was not a crucial part of the opening of the film. That scene would take a considerable amount of our finite time available out of our video.

when we were filming we had virtually no problems that we encountered. The only problems that we encountered were that of the other people on the corridors which we did not wish to have in our transition footage. Also we had the problem of strong sunlight which made the picture being recorded very light intensive which made it difficult to see what had been filmed.

The ways that we solved these issues was to make sure that the corridor was empty before doing the footage which was very difficult due to our school being very busy constantly throughout the day. For the problem of the intense light from the sun glaring into the camera lens was solved by jack my partner for this project, putting his hand in front and above the camera to cut down on the camera glare which massively improved the visibility and quality of the picture.

The photo above is our first blue screen photo that will be used in our film this photo will follow after the main footage of the average people in the video. There will then be a flash and this photo will appear, except it will be edited with photoshop or a similar program to put a background behind the people and cut out the blue screen behind them. the process of using the program to put a background in is quite difficult due to having difficulty resizing the background. this could hopfully be overcome by getting a tutorial off youtube.

struggleing to edit vid

I and my co-worker are struggling to edit our footage at the moment due to there being such a large amount of footage to cut down into the time period that we have. At the moment we have in exes of 120 minutes of raw footage that we need to cut down into a video clip of around 2 minutes.

My co-worker and I are suggesting getting rid of one of our scenes that would not benefit our video as much as one of our other better ones that could get us the higher grade. Also we have managed to now edit fully two of our scenes we are using in our film. These two scenes are of the nerds that are in the library and the scene of the emos in the grass area by the library.

The problems with the video in this section with the emos are that we had a lot of raw footage for that scene so we had to edit it so it would only last about 10 seconds. So what we have done is to do multiple shots of the emos at different angles so that you get to see all of them. We have tried to use continuity editing in this clip so that it is not obvious that we have matched these different shots together.

For the video clip of the nerds we had difficulty when we were putting the whole thing together due to that fact that when the steady cam stops moving it then waits for about a second and then moves through the door. Also when you enter the library it takes about seven seconds to get to the area where the nerds are this takes valuable time off of our timetable. So what we did was speed the clip up like we did for the transition parts of our video until we reach the nerds. This means that we can now use these valuable seven seconds elsewhere in our video.

filming our different stereotypes

we started to film our different types of stereotypes a couple of days ago and so far it has gone relatively smoothly. we were able to film the average normal 6th form students and went well with us only having to make two takes of the scene to get it right.

This: post will show you what we planned to do in our filming proccess and what order we planned to do them in.
