Filming and Testing Effects.

Most of the project has been filmed, due to avaliblity I was forced to use a Z1 camera rather than the AF100 or the 7D, however this didn't really matter. Another Issue however was more annoying, the marantz we got out had no card and as we didn't realise the marantz used a card we didn't check it after we got it out. This ment we could not use the marantz to record sound, we however got round this by lining directly into the camera. Time was also an issue as both the script and the shorts planned were alittle too amibous for a day of shooting, to combat this I quickly replanned the shots so that any unneccesary shots were incorperated into other shots, meaning less shot changes were needed, saving time. Other than that all shooting went well and only a few shots need to be filmed and after a short session checking the footage is okay and playing with Final Cut I have alot of new ideas of how to imply things instead of say them, for example having the colour slowly drain out of a scene so what begins overly saturated ends up with barely any colour what so ever to symbolise the character's death. I feel very confident that I will be able to create a good film out of the footage and have certainly learnt the value of resstrant when planning shots etc, time management and learnt to check absolutely everything after getting it out from the ERC.
