Single camera

Production diary

Day 1: On my first day we learning about what a single camera involves. Then later that day we had to find a scene that involves one camera and explain what is happening in that scene and how do we know there using a single camera.

Day 2: We watching a video clip from the film whiplash, to see why the editor won an oscar for the particular scene we watched. The reason it won is because the shots. Where it should a long shot of both the people talking and the shots got closer as they like each other the people, but then it goes back to long shot as they have a little argument, and then it does the same again going from long shot to close up to their faces and then the important moment where the lady foots touches the mans foot.

Day 3: We have been given an assignment, which was to create our very own film. The film is only to have a single camera involved. The film can be any genre and the film can be as long as it wants.

Day 4: I came up of an idea for film which was going to be a zombie film, but I realized that it wouldn't work, as the zombies would need a lot of makeup and the film was going to take place in an abandoned house and an old forest, but it would take too much time and the film won't make any sense.

Day 5: I came up with another idea which was a cat film. It was going to be about a cat's life and from the cat's point of view as it would look like the camera is first person playing as a cat.

Day 6: I began filming my film on Thursday which was my day off. The equipment that I borrowed from the college was a go pro camera and a H4 zoom. The reason I borrowed the these equipment is because the go pro camera is good for a first person camera shot, as mine will be in first person as a cat. The reason I borrowed a H4 zoom is to pick up the audio of the cats meowing and purring.

Day 7: I downloaded all of the footage onto the editing computer in the editing sweep. I began to edit my film, but I didn't have enough footage to finish off the film, so I thought I will need to finish the film next week to get more footage, but I've began by editing my film and I've already done 15 seconds of the film.

Day 8: Once again I borrowed the same equipment. To finish my film about a cat's life. I manage to get all the footage I need on Thursday by finishing it off. I didn't need as much this time as I only recorded like a few videos.

Day 9: I downloaded the footage on the editing computer, and added some of the footage to the film.

Day 10: I finished the film and I've exported the video, but unfortunately I couldn't upload the work to canvas as I didn't have all my work done and didn't have all the work with me.

Day 11: I uploaded the video and all of the research to canvas, So Andy can mark my work to see if I have passed or not.

Production diary

Day 1: On our first day we were watching PS4 adverts and compare which of these adverts are the best and why. Then later that day we got into a group of two and started planning what our ideas are going to be for our advert.

Day 2: On our 2nd day we were talking about swot which is what are our strengths and weaknesses during production and practical. the opportunities that practical activities offer and what the threats are during production. For example the risks that could happen (falling over wires).

Day 3: We were finding research about PEGI and about the gaming industry about all the money they make and talking about which games were banned and why they were banned.

Day 4: We were talking about what attracts people's and companies attention to buy games and talking about how gamers get their game out there to the public. For example posters and TV adverts.

Day 5: We were discussing what our SWOT is in other words our strengths and weaknesses during production. The opportunities that it offers, like what type of job it offers, and the threats that could happen during production.

Day 6: We were planning on where our film is going to take place, we were thinking of filming Ralph's family, if I here feedback from Ralph when we are going to film.

Day 7: We were creating the script and the story board. How the film is going to be set out and how the camera angles are going to be shot in the film.

Day 8: I had to change the idea for the advert and had to work seperatly because time was running out and none of the work was getting done. So now I am working seperatly, also I was ask to do a focus group to give them feedback about their PS4 advert, on what was good, what was bad and what could of been improved. I was doing the focus group with Aimee and Shannon and talking about Lauren and Sam's advert.

Day 9: I have borrowed a black magic camera to film my PS4 advert. The location will take place at my house Eaglescliffe, and the actor who will star in the film will be my cousin Jay Masuda.

Day 10: I have started my editing on PS4 advert. For the audio I am going to use is the soundtrack of Fleetwood mac the chain. The video was a little bit over one minute but by only 10 seconds. I had to use the curves of the colouring to brighten up the video clips to make them stand out and to see what is happening in the video clips. I would admit my camera skills weren't the best as my hand was shaking a lot.

Day 10: I managed to finish the film and I have uploaded the film onto youtube. I have also used the audio of the PS4. to make it look like an PS4 advert.

Day 11: I have filmed my focus group. the people that were in my focus group are Lauren, Aimee, Sam and Ryan. They said they liked the film, but the only thing that I needed to improve on was to stop shaking the camera and keep the camera still.

Evaluation: Through out this assignment I have found this hard and stressful. The reason for this is because I started to work with Ralph at first and things were going well. Until Ralph and I weren't working as a team and wasn't getting the work done, and time was running out as Ralph was leaving everything to the last minute. He wanted to film his family do the film, but I didn't hear anything from him from weeks about whats happening with the filming. So I chose to work by myself and do my own film. I thought working by myself was easy as i got everything done on time and didn't need to argue with people with getting the project done and disagreeing with them about the film. I had filming and editing film by myself as I wanted to do stuff my way and without people changing my idea and without people saying why they don't want to show my project because it wasn't good enough.
