The Latest Latest On See Me

Ladies and gentleman. The rushes have at last been accomplished! A good substantial amount of footage was shot yesterday as Jamie was kind enough to grace us with his presence so we were able to film every single ounce of dialogue we needed. Unfortunately however we did have to overcome some obstacles, namely that the room we were using was absolutely basted in work done by secondary school kids. This wouldn't have been much of a problem had we been allowed to take it all down so we could film with our props up then replace it all after we were finished, however the woman who was supervising us refused point blank to let us move any of the work on the walls, so it took some very tricky camera work to avoid any work on the walls that didn't look at home with the police scene.

We did however manage to struggle through the afternoon in my old school and completed the respective scenes that needed to be done there. Then we headed out to our next location which was in the middle of a wood where we would be filming the next and last murder. This part of the afternoon went off without a single hitch. Just the occasional retake when Georgia burst into a fit of giggles at the concept of having to pretend to break Kat's neck, but other than that it made the day go by perfectly smoothly despite the cold weather. Now all we need is the go ahead for the rushes and we can start editing.

I am the only one so far who has viewed the rushes as i was the only person last lesson who was present and thus had to upload the tape onto the Mac by myself. I personally think that we have enough raw footage in bulk, that is that we could easily edit together a story, if the situation should arise that were needed even more footage to fill in the gaps as it were, we could easily put some in that would not only stretch it out but give us more of an option for editing.

  1. This is almost entirely descriptive, really only giving me a 'blow by blow account' of what happened that day. This is not going to get you marks. You need to explain decisions, choices, techniques used, and justify them in terms of your aims. You need to use terms throughout. This kind of material will struggle to be awarded a pass grade I'm afraid.
