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.

1st Deadline

We have just had our first deadline to meet and we didnt quite reach it. we were ment to have our completed advert one to show Mr. Michie but ours isnt quite there. I think that even thouhg we havent quite met it we are still on target becuase advert 1 will take us the longest to complete because the process included us having to learn what we have to do as well as doing it. when it comes to advert 2 and 3 they will be completed alot quicker. We have also started thinking about and producing props for advert 2 so we will be able to start that as soon as we have completed our first advert.

Premiere

Premiere is the programme we have decided to use to put together out our adverts. We are nowcurrently in the process of learnign how to use it, this is time consuming but needs to be done because it is the best programme to use t get the finished product we want. iMovies only allows up to three layers to be used on our advert where as for our advert we will need around 4, one for our animated clips, one for out background music, one for voice overs and one for sound effects .

Off Screen Animation

This is what happened when it we didnt resize the screen when animating.

To use our time wisely me and lauren decided to use differnet macs so that we can work at the same time. we both animated different clips and came together to put them into premier where will have decided to produce our final product. when we compared our clips it seems that we have animated them differently, they didnt match together. We had differnet thicknesses in arms and legs and and had chosen to animated the faces differently. This is mainly because we didnt really discuss what we wanted them to look like before we started animating. We now have to animate some of the clips differently which means having to find the time to animate 2 clips at once to keep up.
