Production Diary - Day 8

Today I was able to edit my video.
I realised that some footage was lost, so 1 scene was unable to be added to my video.
Though I managed to sort this issue out, by adding in some media edits.

I added my voiceover audio in also. This worked well, and I was surprised as I thought I had not recorded enough sound.

Production Diary - Day 7

Today I am hoping to edit my work and add in my audio. I am still deciding whether I will add in additional music. But I will add in sound effects and image effects as they will work well with my idea.

Production Diary - Day 6

I uploaded my footage to the Mac computer today.
I also realised I hadn't done my voiceover's so I had to use a voice recorder.
I then had to write a small script to add to my paperwork.

Production Diary - Day 5

Today I finished off my paperwork.

Production Diary - Day 4

Today I did my filming. I asked two of my friends, Laura and Chris to come to my house to film a few shots.

We spent 30mins looking over my work so they knew what my project was about.
We then started filming my first scene where I would introduce the people, then we filmed a 2nd scene where we were on the laptop browsing a few sites.

I also decided this day I would have a voiceover on certain shots.

Production Diary - Day 3

Today I was sorting out the paperwork I need to be able to film my short video

I needed...
- Call Sheets
- Storyboard
