Session 20

In this session i was carrying on making the sound tracks for our Project in MovieStorm, i was also making clips for lee to use for our end credits.

Lee was making the final touch ups for the editing on the project and creating the end credits

Session 14+15

In this session I was making music in garageband to be the background sound for our moviestorm project, when creating the music i had to have two different genres of music i had to have fast paced music for the action scenes and slow for the dramatic scenes.

while i was doing this Lee was making the start credits for the project.

Session 13

In this session Lee and I decided to think and write down the dialogue for our project, to do this we went into an empty quiet room with a microphone and do the voices for the characters, i was the character Kevin and one of our fellow pupils Ashleigh Holding was the character Katy. i think this session went really well.

Session 8+7

In this session i was working on Character actions for set 2

While doing this Lee was working on storyboards and what angles the scenes should be shot.

session 6+7

Lee was absent for this session therefore i was creating actions for the characters in the directors view.

i was focused on getting all the character actions done for set 1 and i completed this goal.

The Affair-Session 4+5

in this session it was mine and Lees main focus to complete the treatment and think carefully on who our target audience is, we had to consider what the content material we had in our project and what age it would be suitable for.

The Affair-Session 2+3

During this session Lee was Focused on creating the script for our MovieStorm Project. While Lee was doing this i was carrying on creating the characters and now making the final touches to their appearances, while doing this i was also filling in the character sheets.

The Affair-Session 1

In this session Lee and I were thinking of ideas for characters and settings that will be in our story line called 'The Affair'. While we were doing this Lee was creating a mood board. after we had finished talking through each others ideas i started to rough ideas of characters on MovieStorm.

Session 1-Initial Ideas

in the first session Lee and I were thinking of ideas for what we should base our short film on. at first we were thinking of doing a music video but then it would take too long and be too much work for us too handle so instead we deciding to think of another story line and we came up with 'The Affair', the story line of our short film is that a character finds his wife having an affair with a younger male and decides to take action.

End Sequence-Guns N Diamonds

This is our final end sequence which has been edited and has all the music attached onto it.

the feedback we got from our fellow class members was good, most of them liked the parkour scenes although they said it could be longer and could have introduced our undercover cop character. the class members also liked the scene when I hit the camera and it blacked out. the audience also like the sound effect of when lee hits jack in the face. another thing that the audience liked the adult hood shot where we used a dolly to spin the camera from jack to lee.

the things our audience said we could improve on was the music tracks in the sequence. this was because they couldnt hear the dialogue aswell if the music was turned down abit. they also said that the characters could have better costumes and be more dynamic than just plan clothes.

Friday 21st January

session 15 & 16
todays two sessions were dedicated to giving our end sequence its final little touches. such as making sure the music made sense and that the sound effects were in the right place. we also had a problem today the beginning of the sequence there is a slow drum beat but jack and lee did not like the sound of it so we had to change it to something else that still makes sense in the scene and fits the genre of the sequence

Thursday 20th January

session 13 & 14
These two sessions consisted of the same thing me and jack were thinking about sound effects to use with our fight scenes and was making more tracks that have relevance to our scenes that were shot for the end sequence. the problem we had with the music and sound is with the wind because it interferes with the dialogue sometimes but it wasn't a major problem.

Wednesday 18th January

Session 12 & 13

session 12 consisted of tidying up the editing of scenes and giving it its final touches. also jack the editor sent me the final piece so that i could add the music and sound effects in time for when they are needed, but in session 12 i was only adding the tracks in.

session 13 i was making sound effects such as punching noises, i did this by using my mouth as a hitting sound but that did not work very well so instead i hit my fist into the palm of my hand which gave a very realistic sound to being hit in the face.

Tuesday 18th January

Session 10 & 11

this day we filmed the location rest of location 3 shots with the fight scene between The gang leader and undercover police officer, this went really well becuase we got the right camera angles so the fight looked real.

in session 11 me and jack were editing together but just a rough cut to make sure all the shots go together correctly

Monday 17th January

session 9

this day we were meant to film the rest of location 3 but it was raining so we had a production meeting and all agreed that the filming should be cancelled due to weather and health and safety reasons. so instead me and jack tidied up the editing of our previous shots and i was making more tracks for our scenes.

Friday 14th January

Session 5 & 6

in session 5 we were filming the parkour scenes that were in location 3 which was in long road car park, we did not have any difficulties in fimling these scenes, our best shots were when we were using the filming chair. Jack pushed lee along the path when he was sitting in the chair and they filmed along me while i was running past the cars.

in session 6 jack was uploading the shots we had taken to the imac so they could be edited with the previous shots on Final Cut Express, while jack was doing this i was making tracks for our scenes without sound.

Thursday 13th January

Session 4 & 5

This day we were editing our location shots that we had filmed in previous sessions. In the 5th session we were filming location 3 with the gang leader fights and also taking stills to make evidence for our portfolio. we had also decided in session 5 that we were going to change locations from Ely to long road car park for the fact it would be easier to film and will take less time.

Wednesday 11th January

this session was dedicated to getting the production planning sorted. we started out with making sure we had the right locations, for the parkour scenes i was going to film them in ely but that seemed to complicated so instead we decided to film it in the long road car park because it would be easier and would take less time. also in this session we were trying to find props for our end sequence, we looked on ebay to find a fake diamond and two fake guns that realistic for our film.

Tuesday 10th January

this day we were filming location one where jack is holding the diamond and making a phone call to an anonymous number.

we did not have much problem with shooting these scenes, the only problems we had was the noise of people around us. you cam sometimes hear people rustling around, when editing we could hear this and you couldn't quite here much of the dialogue so we had to film it again when there was no one in our location.

Camera testing

for our end sequence we are going to use my camera, but before we started filming our first scene i had to test the quality of my video camera to make sure it was up to standards from the college cameras and will be good enough quality to be on a cinema screen.

i took a 37 second video of the class room pupils then imported it onto the laptop, looked at it on quicktime but there was lines across the screen so i imported it into final cut express to see if it was any better which it was, after doing that i had to look at what PAL it was and was a compression to 720 which was fine for our project.

SAATCHI EXHIBITION

The Saatchi Gallery is a London gallery for contemporary art, opened by Charles Saatchi in 1985 in order to exhibit his collection to the public. It has occupied different premises, first in North London, then the South Bank by the River Thames and currently in Chelsea. Saatchi's collection, and hence the gallery's shows, has had distinct phases, starting with U.S. artists and minimalism, moving to the Damien Hirst-led Young British Artists, followed by shows purely of painting and then returning to contemporary art from America in USA Today at the Royal Academy in London. In 2008, an exhibition of contemporary Chinese art formed the inaugural exhibition in the new venue for the gallery at the Duke of York's HQ.

charles Saatchi is the co-founder with his brother Maurice of the global advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi, and led that business - the world's largest advertising agency in the 1980s - until they were forced out in 1995. In the same year the Saatchi brothers formed a new agency called M&C Saatchi. Charles is also known worldwide as an art collector and owner of the Saatchi Gallery, and in particular for his sponsorship of the Young British Artists (YBAs), including Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin.

the saatchi gallery have diffrent types of art each year but most of them are models instead of paintings also things used in every day life that has been recycled to make the art.
