P1. Rough Cut Team Production Meeting

Over all we found that all of our comments mentioned that thew film made narrative sense, which means we don't currently need to re-shoot anything. The comments also suggested that we needed to add more music and boost the sound of the dialogue up when Jay and the receptionist are speaking.

My feedback forums:




From the feedback I received from my individual film and edit, I found out I need to make some shots shorted as they drag on too long.

P1. Rough Cut (Not done)


This is what I have done so far for the rough cut. It is missing a scene at the end as we have only just filmed that scene and there wasn't enough time to edit it before the rough cut deadline. It still needs  colour correcting, some of the visual effects need to me improved and sound needs to be added and edited.

I have 3 more visual effects to produce and one more scene to edit.

P1. Telekinesis Clips

A few youtube clips I've been watching to help me when we're filming and editing our footage (for ideas):


P1. Health and Safety

Before we started shooting a man named Gary came in and discussed with us a few safety pro-cautions we should take.

Here are some key points he made:

- No standing on dangerous or high up obsticles (such as roofs & benches)
- Be careful of wet and slippery floors (Wet mud on field & Water in hallway)
- Don't climb on/up anything (Trees)
- If you need to climb on anything or stand on something for a high angled shot, talk to him about it and he can arrange a way to safely get that shot (Ladder)
- Don't put tripods in dangerous places such as the stairs, or at a corner (Could knock over, some one could bump into it)
- Don't leave any equipment on the floor, some one could trip and fall on it
- Pack up tripod and equipment every time you change location (incase you hit some one with the tripod ext..)
-Place up a filming sign (To let people know that there's equipment that may be in the way, and also if someone needs to scream for example, people know theres nothing wrong and it's for the film)
- Make sure there's nothing in the corridors that can cause any one harm

P1. Problems we might face

Inconveniences:
- Unwanted sound/dialogue in the background

- Cameras running out of charge/memory
Solution: Make sure you charge it fully before you use it, or bring a spare

- Students walking past
Solution: Have some one standing at the door making sure people don't come by whiles we're filming

- Not being able to find the right props/costume
Solution: Get all the props sorted out before hand, and ask people to borrow props we don't have

Minor Problems:
- Students getting the way of our filming (Standing in our shooting locations)
Solution: Ask them to move for the shoot

- Not knowing how to do some of the special effects
Solution: Practise on Adobe after effects or ask for help
