9th blog of FMP Moving Images Project

Hi again, second post in 24 hours. So here is the continuation of the blog from last time.

4/4/11

I've once again reviewed the footage from last week, what I felt it didn't work was not using the tripod, I felt it didn't work, too much of a shakey feel to take into my final footage, for next time use a tripod the next time I film up the South Bank (footage below).



But what I did feel that work from last week was the use of what camera angles I will like to take into my final footage with when I re-film up the South Bank for Wednesday and Thursday (footage's below of which camera angles).

Weather report for Wednesday and Thursday, its gonna be both hot days and sunny throughout the day.



6/4/11

Filmed up the South Bank this evening. Filmed around the South Bank at the skate park at the South Bank with different camera shots. I felt much satisfied with the shots I've taken tonight, takes these shots into editing much confidently, due to being more confident with the camera I'm using (Sony Pd170).

Once again filming up the South Bank today. Filmed around the South Bank at the skate park at the South Bank with different camera shots. Today not focusing on the Skaters, but focusing what's around the South Bank such as Graffiti and other props. Overall I felt very confident that I can take these two days worth of footage into Final Cut Pro to edit with.

Uploaded all the footage from last Wednesday and Thursday into Final Cut Pro by using the set up from last time out (look at notes from 2/3/11).

I've reviewed the footage from last week, what I felt using the tripod worked well from last time. I really fell very confident that I can take those two days of footage and make a two and half minute short movie out of it, rather than stretching out for an eight minute with not a lot of action in the film it will work much better with.

Been considering today what kind of background music I will put into my Final video for this project. I've looked at some music that could work with my video such as Beastie Boys, Motorhead, Sex Pistols, NWA and The Clash for example. I felt these might not work due to the right tempo that I want. So, instead I might use a narrative or a poem about skateboarding. I believe it will be a different concept than to have shake-boarders with a music track behind it, which it doesn't work.

End of blog for now. New post soon. Bye
