Production Diary

Shooting day 1- Today i took stop frame animation pictures of a £5 note crawling through the letter box, along the hall way floor then up the side of the table then to sit there on the table. I had Anthony spikesman helping me with placing the money bit by bit, while i took the shots. It took about a hour to do this footage. This went well as i had someone helping me do it, and it looks really good as i played it in sequence.
Shooting day 2- Today Ant and me filmed the first part of the footage, it was filmed in my house and it was the next bit on from the crawling money. Ant is the main character used in my video. The first part of my filming i did was Ant coming down staires and walking past the table and catching money in the corner of his eye on the table and taking it. This didn't take too long as it was a easy bit to do, and it was easy to edit as there wern't many mistakes made.
Editing Lesson- In this lesson i edited the footage i already had and put it into sequence on IMovie HD. I also had to sort out the stop frame animation pictures to be cut down as they came up 5 secs long when played, once they were cut down they looked much better and more animated. I also put the footage sequence before the video footage.
Shooting Day 3- Today we carried on the footage from where we left off, him leaving the front of the house and skating down his road on the way to Horsham town, i had to make sure it was clear weather for me to film this.
Shooting Day 4- Today we filmed the last two different endings for my video that are both going to be used, we used the location in the Carfax in Horsham town, and used the Charity shop 'Help the Aged' . The two endings are going to represent greediness, and Giving. I represent this by having one ending with Ant walking into the charity shop 'Giving' and the other him looking at the charity shop and keeps the money for him self which represents the word 'Greediness'.
Editing Lesson- Today i added the last bit of my video onto my edited footage. I also edited all the footage so it plays it fully and shows one ending, then edited it rewind backwards then fast forwarded then shown the other ending there could be, this went well beacuse it all went togther well and all played and fitted in the time limit of below 3 minuets. I made a track to go with it and got two unpublished 'Dub-Step' songs and mixed them both together this also went really well beacuse they both went together really well!
