Music

In our 2 min piece we have added a non-diegetic sound which is played throughout the end of the clip. we decided on the song because it is upbeat and it fits perfectly with our fliming.

The mp3 we played was Tempa T- Next Hype
We have asked for his permission for us to use hes song in our piece

This is Tempa T the artist that made the song, Next Hype

Decisions

We choose to use a car in our final piece as we explored the number of great camera shots and angles we could capture.

The picture above was captured as we were out location scouting and exploring camera shots and angles for the car scene.

Support from outside of the group

Throughout our project we recieved help a numerous amount of times from people outside of our group. These people had helped us film shots aswell as featuring within both the continuity and final piece.

This is Kwabena, he voluntarily joined us through our first continuity piece where he had a part in contributing towards directing and ideas of futhering our story board.


This is Tanvir who had aided us several times on different occasions for our final piece. He not only featured in the final cut but also had helped gather other runners for the final piece.

Hyundai Coupe



In our 2 min piece we were able to get hold of a car, the Hyundai Coupe to film with, we had a group discussion and we come to the fact that if we were able to get hold of a car, we would be able to get loads more camera shots then without using a car, and also it fits perfectly with the story, we were planning to kidnap a person and throw the person in the boot, so having a car was an ideal priority that we had to get.

Video Time

We started our 2 min filming, and so far it's going rather well, I have taken a few snapshots of the camera work, Editing and acting in the making.

This is Zach on the Apple Mac, editing the work we done, linking everything together so its all smooth also adding effects which our Media teacher informed us that its important we add some sound because it will gain us a few more marks.

As you can see here an image captured of myself interrogating Oshoma (A friend we used in our filming) with Yousef in the back videoing an over the should shot of Oshoma capturing the facial expression of me.

this is my POV of Danso's (Another cast in our film) he is capturing his eyes, we not only use video we also take Snapshots, taking advantage of all the use the camera has.

Filming

I have a little bit of experience with filming outside of this course which made it alot easier to use the camera. The JVC Everio is ideal for our project as its compact and ready for use. I began filming on my group continuity second piece along side with Zach as Yusif and Alaa tried a little acting. This was the first time the group had started filming in public areas which became a challenge especially when a group from our class had decided to film beside us in the same location for our second continuity.

Editing

Using iMovie
I actually found my first time using imovie an easy experience. The programme is quite straight foward, although it did help seeing it being used before by zach.
I was actually quite pleased with the outcome and would definitely recommend it to begginers.
