Filming/Editing Process

Day 1

We arranged to film our Main Task on 30th of March round Dan’s house with our actor Matthew Coates. We wanted to start filming as soon as it was dark or at least when the sun had set, as we needed it to be dark outside as that was our setting. Around 8pm it got dark so we began filming. We managed to get through a large part of our filming but it was around 10pm and it was too late for us to film any further that night.

Day 2

We aimed to film the second evening. However, that was a problem; our actor had to drop because of issues of his own concerning coursework. This meant that Daniel and I had to either find a new actor or one of us acts ourselves. Also during this day, we managed to get the original film up on Final Cut Express and found that we had made many mistakes anyway, concerning where the actor was in the shot.

Day 3

Daniel decided to take the role of being the actor and I would be the camera man. We also decided that we should film at the weekend so we had more time to organise and also more filming time.

Day 4

No events occurred

Day 5

This day was Saturday and again we had to wait until dark. When it got dark, we set up and managed to do all the filming within 2-3 hours.

We got all our filming on Final Cut Express and broke them up into separate clips. We began putting the clips together to make the film.
