L'ignoto - Progress

Since publishing the story board, we have filmed, edited and are now currently looking at music to go with our two minute introduction.

The Filming

The filming went surprisingly well. All of our group had a free one wednesday afternoon, so we headed to the train station and started straight away. We tried as well as we could to stick to our story board, however in practice, we found that the camera angles we had used were now not the best ones. So there have been changes to our storyboards however we believe this was for the best. For example, we were going to have Joe (Santo) walk outside the tunnel by the train station, we then saw bikes inside the tunnel and decided that this would be a nice angle to get. When Joe was planning on walking down the corridor inside the train station, we thought that this was too long, and needed altering, so Liv was quick to notice a dripping pipe, which we got a shot of, which followed on nicely from the shot of Joe.
When filming strangers on the platform, we asked for permission then began filming, this was quite successful as they acted very natural. We managed to get the shot of Joe getting on the train in one, just as well as we only had one chance, and this worked well, just as well as a few minutes later we were asked to leave the station!

Editing

This was the quickest part of the process, as we made sure that when filming, we had plenty of film to filter through. I believe that the clips follow on very well from each other, and it all goes together very well. We still need to add the credits and titles to the end of our film, however i believe that this will not take long.

Music

This is what we are currently doing now. We started on the sites that our media teacher; Mr Van Straten recommended to us, however, this took a long time to go through and we did not actually find any that we thought were appropriate. We then went onto MySpace. We began to found this very long and time consuming. So we ended up using Garage Band. I have never used this before however i think it is quite simple. We began looking through suitable sounds today and are quickly picking up appropriate ones.

So thats what we have been doing for the past three weeks, hopefully within the next three weeks we will be finished :)
