Blog Update

Today I went to the library from 1:30 -4:30. None of the people from my group turned up though so it was a bit annoying. I created a bit of a theme tune for Katie and Skylar but I am still not to much certain if it fits - these are the loops I use

THEME SONG

Alernative Rock Base01
Nordic Keyed Fiddle 02
Percussion Combo 09
80s Dance Sythn 07

So anyway, I spent the whole time eyes glued to the screen trying to do the sound track for it and I am still not happy with it at all. So I will skip netball tomorrow afternoon and go back to the library.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL PROBLEM IN THE WORLD OF PROBLEMS RELATED TO THIS ASSIGNMENT! The memory card from the sound recorder is not responding... Computers don't reconise it and neither does the device. So yay. Just loving this assignment...! 

I have stopped worring about the others, I re-told them what we agreed on at the start and I am just trusting that they will get it done, even through they didn't turn up today. Hey who know, maybe I am just really slow and bad at this!? 

I am going to update my EDL even through it doesn't have all the times on it because I am worried that I will have time to add the times.

Blog Update

Im just going to post what I emailed out to the group and then it is pretty much self explanatory from that.

Okay. We know it is not done. And we all know that we will not be able to get it done monday afternoon, fact. We need another session to get it done and Sunday when the library is open is the only time we can. I will be going to the library from as soon as it opens (pretty much) to whenever I get my lair scene done, sound and all. If you think that you need this extra time as well, then I'll be there. Please do not leave the sound to Monday afternoon because it is highly likely that you wont get it done in time.

Not to sound like a teacher or anything , but it is a group assessment, everyone needs to do their part. All I am saying is that I will be there on sunday if you wanted another person in the group there too then please come allong. I cant make it for Monday so that is why i am doing it on sunday and because I have longer.

I know we all have assesments, but yeah, just make sure you have the things that you agreed to have done at the start done and well, it needs to be put together by monday.

so yeah... it has taken us thing long already, lets just get it done properly

amanda

Okay everyone just clarifying

On Monday andTuesday lunch times we will put the film together. For then each of us needs this done.

1. Scene Edited

2. Sound Track made for the scene

3. Re-recorded dialogue put into the sound track

4. Sound track exported

5. Sound track added to scene (as done in step 1)

6. Make sure everything works and there aren't doubble up voices

7. export scene 

If you have forgotten this is for who is in charge of what;

Amanda: Liar scene

Natalie: Chapel

Alice: Office + final credits (do you want to orginise something with emma)

Emma: Lab and Final scene 

Please please please a million times, please have these things done my monday lunch (if you don't then you will have to take out a laptop and finish it at home and add it to everyone else's by yourself)

thanks everyone. 

***********************

So pretty much a sum up. I am sick of orginising everyone elses work and I am just giving them a deadline and what to do. All I care about now is just getting my part as good as I can get it and then it is up to the rest of my group to get the rest done. 

I will post my EDL on Sunday after I get the times (I just put it in oder but I don't know the actual times. It didn't really help all that much but then again, it was good to know when approximately things were turning up. 

Today we couldn't refilm because a) no handcuff b) alice did not have her costume.

MR ANDREWS, IF BY CHANGE YOU READ THIS THIS WEEKEND - I LEFT MY HEADPHONES IN THE COMPUTER BY THE SCREEN. SO YEAH, THEY ARE MINE :D

Blog Update

I have forgotten to blog recently so this one will cap all that has happened.

Learning wise, Mr. Andrews showed our group how to use the soundtrack pro and the full class the garage band. He also went through how music creates dramatic effect and makes the film interesting.

But by how things have been going within the group, it has been slighly hectic. We are "kinda' on course so to say, but it has a lot of variables. The first lesson this week we worked just on the editing of our individual scenes and shortened or cut shots, corrected brightness and desaturated each indiviudal shot. Thanks to my previous editing at the start before I knew that is was going to be another group assesment, it was very easy for my group to edit their shots and for some scenes, hardly any changes needed to be made. On the second and third lesson we worded on the music backing. And it is really really hard. I'm not an expert of 1920's film noir music, all I can really think about is saxophones, so it is a long, paint drying process trying to get a sound track that matches and enhances our film. Every free afternoon we've had afterschool we have been recording the dialogue and all we need to re-record now is Natlies voice over emma's character. We were unable to get a male teacher to go over Alice because we just ran out of time are were not orginised in that aspect.

Today after school we are to meet in the Molfy basement adn film a few shots and if we have handcuffs we will re-film that, or else we will just have to put up with the golden chains. 
then we just need to do the full music, put dialogue over it and then put it back into a final, final cut thingy. I will be leaving around 5:00pm. nothing much *please notice sarcasm*

But that should do it and I think i will stay later if need be, I did have a laptop form but I have no idea where it went so i will stay for as long as i have to.

Today Mr. Andrews went over some of the first steps to properly editing using final cut. It is mainly a process of drag and drop. However I know that it will be harder to do when it comes to the actual scene.

After school today I did a bit of editing in the library and just focusing on trying to cut down the run time of the film.
