08/11/11 - Third set of shots, including editing

For our third set of shots, we changed the time in which we filmed it. Instead of filming the clips in broad daylight and then editing them so that it would look darker, we just filmed at night, but tried to add small amounts of light by using various torches. Unfortunately, we faced many problems when filming during this time and month:

• As it is late in the year, the fields were extremely wet and muddy, which meant that our actress was restricted when it came to running scenes. To try and fix the issue, we made sure that all shots involving her running were only mid/long shots, so that her feet would not be seen.
• The camera that we usually use to film was not available, so we borrowed Kate's instead as it still produces the same quality clips. When trying to use the camera to film, we found that it had trouble focusing on our actress in the dark, which meant that a few clips were slightly blurry. This can be seen on the shot of our character Lily's eyes, where the camera can clearly be seen focusing halfway through the clip. As a result of using a different camera, when it came to uploading the video clips onto Adobe Premiere Elements, the form the clips were in was not compatible with the programme. We then had to begin using another editing programme called MoviePlus. As neither our teacher or ourselves were familiar with the programme, we had to teach ourselves how to use it, using the helpful guides given as support.

We are aware that there is no sound, as we wanted to focus entirely on the camera angles and shots we used, and then on the sound later on in the production process.
