Filming entry

After getting feedback from the class and from the teachers, we were told that we needed to include more shots of us getting ready and to make it appear as if we were all in different houses. In the beginning we had jump cuts of all of us walking down the stairs, but this was in the same house, this made it unclear as to why we were all in the same house as we were all meant to be separate and then coming together. From this, we have shot more of us in the mornings, this includes all of us waking up in our beds and only one person walking down the stairs. We were happy with the shots we done today, and we feel that it will be clearer when we have included them in the sequence.

Editing process

There was a shot of myself 'air girl' that we were happy with the shot, but it was in reverse to the other girls close up shots. We had to change the way that the shot was played so it would match the other shots. Also, the shot of Holly, 'air girl' where she blows the bubble. We needed to include her name in the sequence, we found the typography and downloaded it on to final cut and then we added her name into it. But we wanted it to appear as if it came out when she was blowing the bubble, and then explode at the same time that the bubble popped. We found this quite difficult because we could not find out how to do so. There was an effect on final cut pro that allowed us to do this, and we were a lot happier with the way her name appeared. We still need to add in the rest of our clips into the sequence too.

I also think that we need to use more editing into the sequence to give the fantastagirls a more 'super hero' theme presented. On the close up shots of all of us, I think we should include an effect that can add to this; it will make us appear as superheroes more clearly to the audience. We are going to apply these changes to the title sequence tomorrow. 

Editing process

As we shot many clips yesterday (30/1/13) we had a lot of clips to choose from. Although it was a long process, it enabled us to choose from a larger variety of shots, giving the best available out come.

First edit of The Fantastagirls title sequence

30/1/13

Below are some pictures of the location that we were filming in on the 30th January. During this time, we filmed the rest of our title sequence. We filmed the fantastagirls coming together, individual shots, shots of us walking, and leaving the house. We filmed the fantastagirls outside in a really lovely location which enabled us to come in from four different directions and meet in the middle. We did have some difficulties because it was very windy and at one point the camera fell over. After this happening, we put weights down on the camera so this did not happen again. We also got many shots of us as we wanted to choose from a variety of angles. We were very happy with the shot of all of us walking together. We also got a closer shot of all of us together, where we wished the title 'The Fantastagirls' to appear. The shot was also from a low angle which portrayed us better superheroes because we looked a lot more superior to our other shots. We also got individual shots of us, as in our previous ideas we didn't have any and doing this made it look much better. Over all we were very happy with the whole filming and we were all very pleased with the total out come. We will need to look over our footage and then choose which ones will fit most appropriately in the title sequence.

Editing 29/1/13

We have started the editing of our new clips that we filmed yesterday. After looking over the shots that we filmed yesterday we are already a lot happier with the outcome of the our new ideas. We have edited the new clips and put them in order, also including the 'working title' introduction. We are having a problem with including the 'cross dissolve' as it is not working, but we are going to ask for it to be sorted out. We have all discussed the clips that we felt were better to use in the title sequence and we had our individual input of editing so far. We still need to do more filming, which we will then include into the rest.
