Production Diary 30th of January

I will not carry on doing production diaries as I will be creating blogs on my rough cuts. These blogs will be done for each and every rough cut I produce which will include explanations of how and why I made creative decisions in my editing process. I'm doing this because I have reached the point where I'm in the editing process so rough cut blogs will perform the function of a production diary.

Production Diary 28th of January

On the 28/01/17 I carried on editing the project creating shorter clips. This took several hours as of course I had to re sink all the cuts to the music. I intend to carry on editing for longer and longer as I wish to create the best edit possible. I had a few problems editing today as of issues with having the amount of film I had overrunning the size of the song as I had to vary the clip size, so it's hard to tell where the edit would end up when starting from the beginning.

Production Diary 21st December

On the 21^st of December, me and my actor had a successful filming session having got all the shots (the 31 we planned to obtain) we needed in that one day. Thankfully I had a shot list that I had printed out which is available on my this shot list helped speed up the process off filming as it gave me a clear view of what I needed to have in each shot and when I needed to do a set change. Unlike my AS film opening I had barely any problems, apart from when it came to the last few shots involving shadows when I ran into some issues regarding lighting. The filming consisted of 4 hours of production time, as the previous day which was the 20^th of December I had already prepared the set with the actor, this consisted of some DIY when it came to tables and surfaces as at the time I didn’t have the props I desired. However, that’s not to say my prop management wasn’t good enough as I also had prepared props such as the fake arm. So overall the shooting that has took place as of yet has been more than I could have wished for as I’m happy with the footage I now have and it has only taken a day with limited hiccups.
