Filming 2 ( post-it note)

Carel had planned to be away this week but as main character we could not really film with out her so we planned just to do some more editing this lesson. As we played through what we had done so far, we were still not sure about the layered shot we had edited, so we decided go out film it again, then it would be a shot- reverse- shot from my blinking to the post-it note on the tape but this time with the text written on and not using effects. The shot we were going to re-film was a close up, so we didn't need to go back to the canal again as you wouldn't see the setting and so we decided to use some soil in a plant pot to recreate the soil that was on the ledge at the canal the last time we filmed, but the plant around college were to small and didn't have enough soil inside to get the shot right. We then decided to go just go outside our college where there lots of plants with plenty of soil around, however it was raining a bit and so we brought out a umbrella too and filmed my hand picking up the tape recorder twice, once with post-it note saying 'PHYSCLE' and again with it saying 'PLAY' and then we went back inside to upload and edit it.

When we were editing I realized that each time when my hand lifted up the recorder it was placed it a different position in camera, we instead should of filmed my hand holding the recorder just the one time and then pulled of the post-it note that said 'PHYSCLE' to have the post it note that 'PLAY' on it underneath so then my hand would be in the exact same position and then on the computers we could of cut out the part with us pulling off the post-it. However with good editing we managed to get the shots that we did of the hand as close to being the same position as we could to make it less noticeable and then placed it on the timeline.

We played through what we had of our opening again, there are still some gaps that we needed to refill for the flash back of how Carel's character go to be hanged, but I realized looking at the amount of time we had used on the timeline, that we didn't have as much time left to film as we thought, which meant that we hadn't stuck to the duration of time we planned to use for each scene, so the next time we film we need to be aware on how long we spending on shots.
