update on progress

WOAH have we been working hard or wat.........(well not everyone but i wont mention who has and hasn't :P) but yeh alot of time has been spent aftaskl... in the mornins... in our free lessons its bin crazyyyy we have got quite a bit done and the mentors are quite helpful aswell [thankz guys] i think honestly is all we need now is some archive footage and maybe just a retake of tara and sawans interviews and if we get that i think we can finally put the sequence together in order.....with the voice over and music and thats it...........sometimes i complain thinking what the hell was i thinking taking media but i do honestly enjoy it even though its affecting my other a levels but i chose it so i have to deal with it...however im the one that chooses to come afta skool wenever i can because it is really fun. i just want to finish it off and see the final production, and we shouldn't care about the media awards evening.that is not why we chose media.we want our good A level and thats what were hoping to achieve. we've also seen other peoples title sequences and i must say dey r lukin really gud.

kl thought i'd keep u updated whether or not ne1 even luks at dese anymore lol

(oh and dola's gone to kurdistan on holiday and i was stressin so much but i've realised we dont need to re-shoot him so its all gud lol)

Progress Report

i was editing Hoshmand's interview...adding the powerful phrases he used and placed them around the screen (technically titles) was quite tricky to do..because i had to match each word to each word he said.....i also added music as it was missing-peoples responce to them is really positive...Archive done by Athar and Zeb was good..we need to work on Zeb's Archive-as whats the reason behind it.....i made the pics larger-was quite simple to do...then i started on the structure...the intro-title...and the end-credits....well hope we get it done in time....

how the editing is going so far....

well soo far i dnt think we've done as much editing as we possibly could have done. we're also a little behind in the sense that we do not have the archive footage we need ready. ive found out that editing is quite a long process and does take alot of effort. ive managed so far to make a sequence out of the vox pops we had but me and zainab who were editing it, soon realised that we do not have enough interviews. So we are now looking to film some more vox pops (about 10 more) and are going to incorporate 6 into our documentary.

Also we need to look through dola's footage pretty quickly and look to see wether we need any re-shoots because he is due to go on holiday in 2 weeks ... n will not be back for some time so the main target for our group is to review the footage we have and to make necessary amends where needed.

Otherwise i think the editing process is quite an enjoyable experience. As i have never used this programme before, i think it is good fun to see the possible things you can do with your video.

My targets would be:

1. get archive footage
2. do more vox pops on "what do you know about kurdistan"
3. review footage of dola incase of the need for a re-shoot

Update!!

the other day me n athar filmed Dolla....dis bit will show his everyday life...developing the character will make the audience comfortable enough to understand dolla's character plus it will make them focus on him....

Today Me and Athar came early at 8...welll athar woz der b4...so yeah lol...i was running l8 but we did set up and started capturing.....later on today we as a group will be capturing more clips in period 6 with G MUNRO.....so hopefully we can capture everything...

KHAN

Update...

The other day me n hammad got more useful footage of dola. we got footage of him doing everyday things such as walking in and out of school, getting of a bus and socialising. These clips will be very useful to us as they will help the audience feel more related and connected to the character. This is good because as well as developing a narrative.. we are also developing a character which will work in our favour as it will draw more attention as well as opinions !!!

Now we will come in on friday mornin to start on the editing. We will start by logging and saving all the clips we have onto the computer so that the editing process is much easier from an earlier time.
