Editing DONE!

Yesterday Chelsea and myself finally after a very long day of editing FINALLY got it done! We had a few problems and felt extremely annoying to the poor tech guy in stores! But he kept saying it wasn't our fault! hahaha. But finally its done, Mike came in and gave us some extra sounds to put on, like TV and some traffic noise for the bad date. We have Marvin Gaye playing for the good date which Chelsea and myself felt fit in with it quite well! We also have the Benny Hill Theme over the time lapse which is pretty funny i think. We also added some credits to the film and a title, we couldn't think of the decent name so Chelsea and me came up with "Count on Me" not the best name, but it works! Anyway just wanted to say well done to everyone! Its been hard work but its done! Woo See you all tomorrow!

Good work everyone!

I would just like to say thanks to everyone involved with this project, there were some difficult times but we got through them with some good teamwork and enthusiasm which is nice to see and the reason i am on this course! I think we will all learn a lot from this and will have gained valuable experience for the future, just remember that even if we have made a few mistakes along the way, the only way to learn is by making mistakes!

Finished :)

Hey guys, editings finished. Me and verity had a looooooooooong stressful day in the edit suite yesterday with the computer being dodgy but its all done. Shame you haven't been able to see it Kara but youll see it tomorrow :) Thankyou Mike for the extra sounds. We added the music in ourselves using Marvin Gaye for background music for the date :) Thanks for coming in to help Theo and Mike we've really appreciated having your opinion on what we had done etc... And it is all of our work so didn't want to make all the decisions. Hope your pleased with it. i have the dvd so i will obviously bring that in tomorrow. I have also done the synopsis and the filming schedule. Veritys done the shot list and already has the treatment and i think Mike said he would do the technical details so think we have the group folder pretty much sorted. :)

Reminds me of the characters Phil and Trev. How they act and talk to eachother. Geeky, trying to be cool.

Date scene from Ashes to Ashes:

I like where the camera is located.. A standard mid-shot, so the audience can see that the man and woman are in a restaurant on a date. They are facing eachother, candle in the middle.. nice touch. Seems formal/posh

Dinner, Edward and Bella, Twilight

I think the lighting in this scene is beaut. Good clip that shows how a good date is supposed to go. Just had to include this sexy film ;)

HEY GUYS! Filming was awesome, bit stressful at times (had to shout a few times) aha. We did half on the Friday and the other half on Saturday. Me on camera, Theo acting, Chelsea/Mike sound, Verity lights. We all worked well as a team, so good job kids! Theo well done for getting the actors, i think those 2 really make the film. & also a big well done for being in the film yourself.. not a trained actor, funny times getting your lines right. We should do a whole dvd on the out-takes.. bloody hilarious :D
Even though it seemed to take agesssss, we did really well and i think we were all motivated as a team to get it all filmed to a high standard. I think the script was brilliant, & very comical, so it was a laugh filming it :)
We all took on the directing role, which probs worked out better. There were no disagreements and everybody's imput was taken into consideration. The location (Verity's flat) was also good and worked to our benefit, making it easier too.. rather than filming in a restaurant.
So all round, good times. Can't wait to see the finished piece.. I'm sure Chelsea and Verity's editing is awesome. So love loves peace out x

films

Shaun of the dead-

The characters Phil and Trev are very similar to the two main characters in the film Shaun of the Dead. There is a main character who quite dependant and capable on their own. They could have a potential love life and their job. However they have a friend who holds them back. For example ruins relationships, relying on the other one, and just always being there. This is exactly like Phil and Trev. Phil is supposed to be cooler than Trev. For example dresses nicer, makes an effort with his appearance, doesn't like as much typically geeky stuff as Trev. However ruins chances he has to have a girlfriend etc. This is shown in our film through Phil's chance to get a girlfriend and take her on a date and Trev unintentionally sabotaging it by acting as a waiter.

Other than this film we have looked at other typical romantic comedies and how they portray the typical date scene. These films included White Chicks, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Knocked Up, Bridget Jones, Sex and the City (the series though not the film) , About a Boy, There's Something about Mary, How to lose a guy in ten days.
