How's The Editing Going?

We a re slowly progressing through this stage of post-production, as we are editing on George's laptop we are limited to when we can all sit down as a group. However George does manage to bring his laptop in on the days where we have Media lessons so we can also work in our free periods.
We have pieced together the timelapse and the outcome looks great. I will also upload several screenshots or maybe a video to show how it's done.
The editing stage and piecing every clip together will show us what went wrong during filming and what we need to go back and re-shoot, one of the things that we are mainly concerned about is the toilet scene because we filmed it completely away from the 1st location so it may break continuity.

I will update you on how the editing went in the next couple posts..

Time to Edit!

The time has now come to edit all the footage we have gathered over the past week into a 1st draft which we can then hand in to receive some feedback into what we can improve.

I and George are experienced with editing programs such as Sony Vegas and Adobe After Effects (AE), this meant that me and George could work together and experiment with different effects so that we come out with a good 1st draft.

We edited the 1st draft on George's laptop as he had the software we were familiar with instead of using a Mac and FCE (Final Cut Express) because we feel that it would be a waste of time learning a new program.

We want to create a timelapse effect using AE which we can then simply edit together using Sony Vegas.

Filming in the WBS Toilets

This is a follow up of how filming in the school toilets went.
We all thought it would be best to film during school hours and we as a group were lucky to have a free period at the same time so we made that hour count. This location was ideal for making our film look realistic but there were some major problems such as a bright light shining through the window, perhaps it wasn't the best time of day to be filming.
We did manage to get some great angles and some really nice shots such as a CCTV shot of Sam walking into the toilets, we had limited space but I feel we did really well in utilizing the space we had.
Filming went really well.

Filming at Riverside station!

After successfully managing to get permission to film at Riverside station on the 28th, there are just a few more things we need to be completely ready to film such a steady and able tri-pod and a HD camera to film with and all the necessary props.
Myself, George, Jamie and Sam headed to the station after school on Monday to commence shooting. We took a copy of our shot list and storyboards so we can reference back to them.
While filming, as a group we decided to improvise some shots as some of the ones we drew up didn't look good in reality.
We feel that the filming went really well and we gathered a lot of varied shots considering we had limited time to work with and we made sure we filmed what we needed in that one evening.

Shooting Schedule

Below is the shooting schedule which we devised to plan our filming and how we are going to structure each scene so we can make things for us a lot easier in the long run.
We took our time to decide which scenes we were going to film first and how long to take, there are two separate schedules, there is one for filming at Riverside station and one for filming at the school toilets. Using these schedules everything should go to plan!

Second Location - WBS Toilets

We have decided that part of our film will be in a Toilet as it is part of our idea, we decided as a group we should film at the school toilets because they are much more accessible for us as students and we don't require permission to film there, shortly after filming at the WBS toilets and piecing together the 1st draft of our film did we realise that moving out of location was a bad idea as the flow of continuity was broken after clearly being able to see we had moved location, below are some location shots of the WBS toilets.
