What happend during editing

After we had finished filming we used Adobe Premier Pro editing software to edit our piece together first we logged our footage into a logging sheet we did this so we knew where the bits of footage we wanted to use where on the tape. we then used our logging sheet to find the exact pieces of footage we need and capture them to the computer.
we then put the footage into the order we wanted and added the voice over this was difficult as our voice over didn't quite match the action but we used this to our advantage and created a disjointed voice over which helps to distance the "Boss" character for the audience. we also chose to use dissolve transitions to make the move form shot to shot smooth. we then added our music and moved the voice over around to fit with then music and then we finished editing.

What happened during shooting

Our crew met at the studio at college and them we set up our equipment, then as art director make sure our talents costumes were perfect and i also did the make up for Conna who is playing Johnny. Then we set up our lighting, we used one lamp to gain a shadowy low lit effect. after we had filmed in the studio we when to Kamal's house and filmed the scenes with "Johnny" in bed and him embracing with "Rebecca" we decided to use natural lighting to add realism to our piece. we then filmed at the bike shed at college.

overall our shoot when well with no hiccups.

Animatic

Group Meetings

After Nick left me and Kamal were left to make some important decisions.
After the synopsis was finished we had to finalise our characters, decide on a title, costumes, props and how it would look on-screen.

We did a storyboard which was then turned into an animatic which i will post later,
then as i am in charge of mise-en-scene i decided on costumes i wanted to show the difference in personality between the boss and Johnny to do this i chose for the boss to be wearing dark clothes and for Johnny to be wearing light clothes. we also decided that we need a gun, rope to tie Johnny up and make up for the bruising and cuts on Johnny's face.

Kamal then chose music which we then argued over as i didnt feel that the music would fit with our piece but then when the animatic was done kamal put his music chose over the top and it worked very well so we settled on music.

We also had to chose location. we both agreed that we needed somewhere where the lighting could be controlled, this is when our teacher mention that the filming studio would be available to us. so we decided to use this location for the scenes of Johnny and The Boss and then use outside locations for the other scenes. We decided on the college bikeshed, Kamals bedroom and lastly Kamals hallway for the flash backs and bed scene. As producer i then did the paper work for each location including; Location Finders Checklist, Rick Evauation and Risk Assesment sheets

after all of these descisions we felt ready to shoot.
