Client Project - St. Mary's Church Video

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.

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: 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!
