Depict: Production Diary

04/10/12
Today we got together as a group and finalised our video idea, thinking about location, characters, costume and props. We also wrote a synopsis for our 90 second film explaining briefly what our idea is and what going to happen in those 90 seconds.

We continued working on our storyboards today, concentrating on the length of each shot and type of shot. One of our group was absent today so we struggled understanding what was going on in each shot, because he was the 'artist' and understands what he has drawn! But we managed to get on and do as much as we could.

We recce'd our locations by going around the college and taking photos of each room that we are going to shoot in. We analysed the kinds of angles, directions and positions that we are going to use. And we made sure that our storyboard was completed.

Today we filled out our production schedule to keep track and organise when we are going to film each scene, what props and actors are going to be in each scene etc. Also made sure all our actors had completed minor model/actor release agreement so that we are granted permission to 'take, use, reuse, publish, and republish photographic portraits or pictures of the minor. We also started filming the first few seconds of our 90 second film.

Today we went down to Gorleston beach to do some filming, which we then came back and uploaded onto the computer.

16/10/12
We re-filmed our corridor shots today and we did plan on shooting our 'bed scene' but unfortunately the room we needed was unavailable, so instead of wasting our time waiting around we uploaded all our shooting onto the computer and started putting it all together on the software, experimenting with change of lighting to a moonlit blue to portray 'night time'.

17/10/12
Today we filmed our 'bed scene' and uploaded all of our shots and began putting the whole thing together. We managed to shorten it down to 90 seconds and add a few sound effects and titles successfully.

18/10/12
We finished off editing today. Completed our 90 second film, although it is a few seconds longer which we couldn't help!
