Catching up

Whilst exams have been on it has been difficult to focus on this coursework. however now that they are over I will need to be catching up on the work which may have been forgotten about. there are still quite a few shoots that need to be filmed and refilmed again. and i also need to get on top with the editing.

Making the Packets

Today i created the three skittle packets that will be used at the end of each advert and at the beginning. All of them were made on white paper, using a black pen. I drew them on white paper because the writing needs to be in white, however this is going to make a problem because the background of each packet needs to be in colour, using a colouring pencil or pen may make the packets have a different style to the rest of the props used in filming.therefore a better idea may be to cut out the lettering instead and add them to the coloured paper rather that use my ones i just made :s i will have to test them both, to see which looks the best.

Shooting Schedule - January

Equipment

With the deadline aproaching, everyone is constantly taking out equipment and not returning it, instead they are holding onto it so that they have it when the will next use it. This is becoming a slight problem as to when it will be available for me to use. Lauren and i have decided that the best way to reach the deadlines is to both work on different adverts, while she is still editing the final bits of advert 1 and is making changes where necessary. I have started filming advert 2, however it has been hard keeping up with my shooting schedule because of getting hold on the macs.

Troubles over the Christmas Holiday

There was a limit to the amount of work I could do over the christmas holiday, this is was because i was unable to book out a mac as there were all gone. This meant I was unable to do any filming or editting so the only other thing I could do was plan the next advert. I have made all the props we will need for the advert and have plan what shoots we will film and when. The props we need included card cut outs of a bike, ring of fire, rope, jetski, ramp, sea, cliffs, etc.
