This is my first edit of the 2-minute video for St. Mary's Church. I showed this today at my tutorial and got some good feedback from my tutor. The feedback included things like re-taking some shots that are over exposed, include interior shots of the church, include images which could include historical images of the church, and lastly include a lot more still shots as there is too much movement e.g. panning, tilting, zooming etc. I will contact Wendy Piece again and schedule a day next week to film these extra shots.

Sound Booth 2 : Voice-over Recording
Today I recorded my own voice using the mic and edited with Adobe SoundBooth. I will use this as a draft to over the edit which I will do of the St. Marys clip over the weekends. This is because Laura (our voice-over artist) only has this coming Tuesday off work to come in and record. I will use my own voice for now to get a rough draft so that I can show this in my tutorial and get feedback from my tutor.

Sound Booth : Voice-over Test
I decided it would be beneficial to book out a sound-booth and make sure I knew how to use the mic and software to record and edit sound before I call in Laura to record the voice-over.

Client Update
This is the title sequence that will be presented to the user upon initially viewing the Lace Market interactive tour. It is still really a rough draft as it needs to be improved further.

Client Project - Filming day Three
Today I filmed inside The Adams College and got some good interior shots. I filmed on floors one, two and three. Even though I only need a few shots to show the interior I collected quite a bit of shots. I got shots of the fashion rooms, film production studio, the media department and many others. Again, I used the Nikon D200 for higher quality of images as some may be used to go into the final product. Here are pictures from the today:

Client Project - Filming day Two
My partner in the group let me down massively today! No call, text anything. I turned up at 9.00am at university, waited a while... few hundred phonecalls. Nothing. However, I decided to go and film myself, seen as I went to all the trouble of gaining permissions etc. And yes, I took a Sony Z1 this time, I didn't bother to hassle with the Panasonic. Although I did'nt get any more interior shots, as there was rehearsals going on for a Hamlet play (want to find out more or buy tickets to this play: http://www.em-media.org.uk/pages/news/article?2B399DD7-98AF-45E5-9A95-229DEF0AA266). I did get some exterior shots. Didn't last long. Rain stops play... The sagas continue.
Also, used a Nikon D200 today for better picture quality and testing with ISO, shutter speed etc. This picture was taken using the Nikon D200.

Client Project - Update
Okay, so I've now confirmed all permissions to film our interior shots at both the Broadway Cinema and St. Mary's Church. The Broadway was pretty okay, however for St. Mary's Church, I had go to St. Peter's Church and arrange a meeting with someone called Wendy. After doing this, I luckily confirmed the date the same as the filming for the Broadway, so both myself and my partner in the project can assist each other for our videos. I think there are a lot of shots that can be taken from both of these buildings, especially St. Mary's. I've been reading up about the church on the internet and it has a lot of history and seems pretty huge.
I have also fully completed my risk assessment, after being re-checked by my tutor Deborah Tuck, so everything is ready for shooting this Wednesday.

Client Project: Test Filming Day
Today we did some test shots of The Broadway, The Adam's Building, St.Mary's Church and The Galleries of Justice. It turned out really good and we collected a lot more shots than we intended. I think quite a few shots completed today can be used in our final videos. We used the Panasonic 151 camera. Oh yeh, I also got someone for our voice-over. Well, I just got lucky really. As we were filming outside the Galleries Of Justice, I noticed two actors all dressed up and make-up on. So I took the chance and walked up for a chat. Few minutes later after a brief chat, I explained what we were doing for our project and if they knew anyone who did voice-overs. It turned out that this girl Laura actually produced voice-overs for the Galleries Of Justice tours. So I asked her if she was willing to help us out with our project and very willingly she agreed. Swapped contact details. She has now sent me a voice recording of herself in the Galleries Of Justice Tour. Voice-over sorted... Bingo!

Update: Client Project
Today, I went to the Galleries of Justice Museum and took the 'Lace Market Heritage Trail Audio Tour' to get a feel of the tour. I was given a small piece of equipment and some headphones to take with me. After this, I completed risk assessments for the videos I will be filming across the Lace Market.

Update: Client Project
I have completed all my storyboards and scripts for my Lace Market interactive tour. I have handed them in to be checked so that I can fully finalised them and start filming. I have not heard from my partner on the project, therefore I decided not to complete the storyboard and script for the 4-minute video we were meant to do as a team.
Here is an example of a storyboard for one of my videos:

Update: Client Project
Ok, let me exlain the changes to my Client Project since the last blog. It is now NOT going to be an app, rather it will be an online application.
Brief description:
The application will be a map-based historical interactive tour of the area, which provides small videos about the buildings and their history. The content that will consist of this will be film clips, archive photographs, and further information about each place.
The application will include the historical tour of four buildings in the Lace Market. These are The Broadway, St. Mary’s Church, the Galleries of Justice and the Adams Building. Each of these four places of interest will have a 2-minute clip telling the user about the place e.g. History, architecture etc. These will also be an option to browse through images of the past from that place with other archive material to support it. All clips will be shot in a DV format. Alongside these four videos will be a 4-minute inital video clip giving the user a brief overview of the Lace Market without going into too much detail. All of these video will be backed by a voiceover. We already have in place a series of voiceovers for our chosen places of interest and we will use these only if permission is gained from the owner. If permission is not granted, we will write the voice-overs ourselves. So far, I have done research on the history of the Lace Market and have dug up some useful documents and information from the local studies library of Nottingham. As this material cannot be taken out on loan from the library, getting all the information can be time-consuming as it needs to be photocopied. I still have some archive material to collect. I will get it from the Nottingham Archives, some images from a website called www.picturethepast.org.uk, and I may also use the Nottingham Evening Post.
The Lace Market Today:
A man working on a Lace Machine in the bulding now known as the Adam's Bulding (College):
On completion of the application, it will be available for people to view online.
The proposal and treatment has been written for this project, and I am now in the process of editing my voice-over clips to be played over my videos. Another student Abdul Seedat is working with me, and we have defined roles. I will complete two videos and he will complete two. The 4-minute initial video will be done together. I visited the Lace Market several times over the Christmas holidays to gain a structure and formation of different shots for the treatment that I wrote up.

Client Project
After having a meeting with Deborah, I know know fully what my client project will be about (as Deborah is my client). I will be, along with Abdul Seedat, be designing an App for the iphone to be used in the Lace Market area of the city centre in Nottingham. It will be an App designed as an interactive tour, informing people of what places of interest there are to visit. There will be three profiles for which this will be done; a student profile, a business man's profile, and a historical profile. We have the job of making the video content for this. The project seems very interesting, but at the same time very hard as there will be a lot of work and time needed to do it and as Deborah has already mentioned a lot of research will be needed.
The App will be an interactive tour for a certain pathway in the Lace Market area, which will start on the street where the Broadway Cinema is and will go along that. We will need to do a lot of research for this i.e. the History of the Lace Market and the way is which to make an App, and the coding etc. We will also look at existing App like this one and see what things they offer, and analyse these to see how the users experience of using the App can be made better.
