Production Log 6:

We decided to make one final edit before our final draft.

Taylor went to film more shots whilst I looked for clips we recorded, but may not have used, that we could use this time.

here is one of the shots we added.

After, we started to edit on Final Cut Pro to add in the clips and emphasise the sound. Taylor added in the 3-4 new clips and duplicated the foley sound clip of the door slamming to make it louder.

Today we re filmed the scenes with Tommy in a different, and more dark, room. We tried to include more close up shots and make the lighting better in general to make the scene more atmospheric. We were suggested to add something to build up to in our title sequence so we filmed two different shots, one of the class door opening with reactions and one of the door slamming shut. We thought the slamming door would be more scary. We also added a scene where the teacher picks up the torch that the guard dropped earlier, we thought this would add some cohesion to the sequence. Taylor filmed the shot with a slow pan to make it more suspenseful.

With the title sequence complete I could just replace some of this footage and rearrange the credits and thing I had from before. I finished editing draft 2.

Today after school, we filmed the edited video footage from the point of view of the main character and we also filmed shots of Tommy (actor who plays the main character) entering the room and watching the clips. We filmed these shots from many different angles to use in the title sequence.
We filmed in the same room as the footage that we have already edited was filmed in.

We now have everything to use for our first draft of the title sequence.

Thursday 19th February 2015

After school we met in the Media department and got a camera, tripod, studio light and dolly. We went to the Art department corridor and set up the shot.

We had trouble trying to make the corridor dark enough but we solved this by coving windows with black paper. We then had trouble trying to get a door to open on its own and we solved this by using string tied around the door frame.

We took turns trying to get a good shot and we tried using the dolly to track in and out and also having the door be opening or closing. We decided the best shot was a still shot.

We went back to media and Taylor filmed Tommy (our actor) as the security guard walking into the classroom and also a shot of him dropping a torch.

We now have all of the clips for our video footage.

Later I edited the the clips with some static and TV simulator effects on Sony Vegas Pro

Today during lesson we filmed the "found footage" for our title sequence, this is the footage of the ghost that the main character will see.

We filmed in an empty media classroom and used a studio light to create shadows. We filmed many different shots from our storyboard and improvised some.

To create the effect of a paranormal being moving objects we pushed objects into the view of the camera and got some string which we used to move chairs and tables from a distance.

We managed to get almost all of the clips we need.
