Blogger Hates Me

Blogger is a wanker. It won't let me put the actual video on for some god forsaken reason so Elliot put it on Youtube and then it's on there so it's kind of fine but still a wanker.

I can only imagine that I have to evaluate it now, so i'll do that.

Firstly, we had to make an 8 Shot Journey, Which is basically a journey that someone takes that only takes 8 shots. Obviously this is on Video.
I started off by writing and drawing a Storyboard, in which the First shot had Laura sitting in G26, We had to take 3 takes of this scene, as she kept laughing at the fat man who kept passing by, and after the second take i had enough and changed her position away from looking directly at the obese passerby. this worked alright so then I had her walking out of the door and through to the corridor, The second shot is her walking down the corridor and preceding to open the double doors, in which i had to take 2 takes of that as in the first take she went the wrong way. The third shot is a close up of Laura's hand opening the door. The Fourth is her walking into the Atrium which was a wide shot in which i had to do like 4 takes of it because the first take some idiot walked passed while laura was walking which was quite aggravating, the second take of the shot, a strange boy walked into it and turned around and asked if we were filming and i was like well obviously i am if you'd just have walked on then i probably could have used that shot as Laura hadn't come out yet. On the third take it was fine.
The fifth shot was from the first floor of laura walking across the Atrium towards the entrance and through the turn styles, which i first filmed right and filmed a second take as i was unsure of the continuity.
The sixth shot was taken from the entrance of her walking out towards the left.
The seventh shot is a big ol' wide shot of the whole of the front college and laura walking out leaning on a wall.
and the final shot was laura lighting up a fag and then walking off camera

The whole basic experience of making the 8 shot journey was quite fun and rather stressful as so many people kept walking in and out of each take and oh my god are the people annoying.

On viewing the video 3 weeks later i definitely think it could be edited down shorter as it seems to take far too much time to do much.
However when i was editing it at the time i wasd only just introduced to the software and i can be amazingly slow sometimes and really had no idea as it took me and laura 2 hours to edit it from 7 minutes down to about a minute and a half. We then edited laura's totally in about 20 minutes, which was a good amount of time.
I think it's an alright little Journey however, as it's rather simple and doesn't make too much sense as it is just Laura walking outside for a fag and that's never going to be a great masterpiece is it? :)
