Group: Studio Shoot / Update - 29-11-13

LB: Today we had our studio shoot which has been building up for a while. Unfortunately due to slots for booking and times we could film we were only able to film for just over an hour. This meant we went in with the mentality to get as much footage in the time we had. The list of shots we had planned were;

• Projection shots over the top of Chris 
• Throwing work equipment in the air for end of video
• Standing looking at hand that is changing from Black & White to colour (Cinematic, POV and different angles)
• Attempt Shadow shots
• Mid shot that will flicker Chris from colour to not

The projection shots is something that we have wanted to do for a while, but due to complications, we have never got them done. After filming them they were not as effective as we first thought. We are still yet to review the footage however we thought when we practiced on a white board it worked better because no lines appeared. I will not be able to see the footage until Tuesday because I have a University Interview, so Chris and Joey will have to see how it came out.

After filming I managed to take one SD card home with a small amount of footage, this contained one shot of Chris throwing the paper. Im not sure if this is the best one, however I put it through After Effects anyway and played with the colour in the studio. This render has been slowed down to 25% with a few mistakes made on the 'Roto Brush' tool. However the effect is still effective,  A shot like this can be hard because of the falling paper which meant I had to look frame by frame and alter the tool, however I am pleased with how it looks.

 

CC: Today we filmed some more studio footage. We only had one hour to film so we decided to film all the basic shots first to get them out of the way so we had some definite footage to edit and look through. We filmed some shots of my shadow on a projector, some conceptual shots of myself walking into a film of myself on the projector. In addition, we filmed some more conceptual shots of falling newspaper which I think turned out very well as Liam edited them on after effects. He made the background and myself black and white, while the newspaper was in colour. This shows the contrast between urban and rural life conceptually. My facial expression being angry also shows my characters hatred for urban life.
