Filming Drama

Yesterday i filmed the last scene for my drama.
Filming was a success as i got all the footage i needed quickly and efficiently.
I used my Gopro camera again for Point of view shots something that it is perfect for.
i also played about with pulling focus during shots, this is something that i have been cautious of doing before as i have been worried of messing it up but after a couple of attempts i succeeded with the shot which i am very pleased about.
since then i have edited all the footage together. i had a few minor issues with sound which i sorted through splicing together bits of sound from other clips. i then colour corrected the entire project, some shots were very dark but through some minor adjustments the problem was sorted.

Multi-Camera Production

Today and yesterday i have been doing a Multi-Camera production at Staffordshire university.
i performed various jobs such as operating the autocue, setting up lighting alongside the lighting director and the director and i even directed the camera operators while i was operating the autocue.

Art Gallery Video

Yesterday I filmed at The Shire Hall Gallery again. I filmed the whole of the judging of the competition from 9:00am till 1:00pm and then interviewed the judges in the afternoon.
This morning I have captured all of the footage to my laptop and I am currently previewing the footage and organizing it ready to edit it which i will hopefully start tonight.

Meeting for Art Gallery Video

Today I met with the client from the art gallery for the first time.
We sat down and spoke about what she wanted from the video, which was that she wanted a video that documented the Open Art Exhibition from start to finish. The Open Art Exhibition is split into sections which are; Handing in, Judging, Installation of winners in the gallery and the Prize giving evening when the winners are given their prizes and get a chance to look at all the new art hanging in the gallery.
The client has stated that she wants the video to be between 5 and 8 minutes long.
Based on my research I feel that this video would work well accompanied with some original music for the bits of the video where the sound of the video is not important. luckily i know some musicians so it should quite easy to find someone that is willing to do the music for me.
I feel that the handing in and the installation of the art in the gallery will be the 2 shortest parts of the video as i feel they may become boring, so i have decided to concentrate on the judging and the prize giving evening.
I will also interview the judges and winners of prizes to mix the video up a bit and make it more interesting for viewers.

Filming for Staffordshire County Council

Today I have filmed at a children's nursery in Oldbury, an Equestrian center in Tamworth and a car mechanics in Hednesford, this was for the project I am doing for Staffordshire County Council's Foundations to Employment program.
Below are some pictures of both me and Ashley taken throughout the day including pictures of us setting up equipment and filming.

Pre-Production (Foundations to Employment)

Finished pre production including proposal and shooting schedule. In addition to this i have researched corporate videos online which I want this project to look like, to give me more of an insight in to how I want to go about production and different shots that I may want to use.

Meeting with Client

Met with Alan from Staffordshire County Council to talk about an upcoming project I am doing for him.
set the outlines of the video including the style and length that he wants the video to be as well as setting filming dates of the 5th and 6th of March with a rough editing being done for the 12th of March.
