Third set of clips

For our third set of clips we tried a completely different way of filming it. Instead of doing it in the daylight then trying to edit it to make it darker and seem like it is filmed at night, we filmed in completely darkness and tried to add small amounts of lighting just so you could see the characters.

However when we filmed this it also like our other clips had problems:
Because we are filming on a field and in November the ground has slowly becoming more wet causing there to be lots of mud, this has an influence on how our characters walk and run. To overcome this we tried to film any running scenes with only a mid/long shot so the feet do not have to be shown.

The recorder we have been using for the rest of our clips was unavailable to use at the time we wished to record so instead we used my camera with a video recorder attached. It produced the same quality of picture but the only problem was when we went to upload the clips onto Adobe Premiere Elements it would not work, this caused us then to have to use a new programme called MoviePlus. This caused us problems as we had to spend valuable time learning how to use the programme rather then editing it. To overcome this we spent all our spare time learning how to use the programme until we understood it enough and started our editing process.

To focus on the character and not the surrounds was hard as the camera we used is not used to focusing on things so close up so for a lot of the time we had to stop and wait for the camera to focus so we could get a good picture. It worked on most of the clips but as you will see some it did no especially that on the close up of 'Lilie's' eyes where it focuses half way through.

However even though there was many problems again whilst filming we are slowly improving each time. Here is the beginning of the trailer of the clips we used:
