October Logbooks
Log Book 14: 1St October
We made our main character, Joffy learn the words to our chosen song today so he could do the lip syncing task. We then had to wait for groups to finish using the hall where we were going to film. We also then chose the section of the lyrics we wanted to have lip synced.
Log Book 5th October (Double Lesson)
In these lessons we edited the lip syncing video and took photos of our main character Joffy to create a mini portfolio which would reflect his image. Then edited the photos.

Log Book 11th October
Emily and Sarah created the MySpace account and set up a lot of the profile, writing who the influences were and naming the band members for fans to look at. Tom captured some of the filming we had done and starting to sort out what shots we would use and what ones we could discard of.
Log Book 19th October
Tom and Sarah went to Brentwood High Street to film the scene of the main character and his girlfriend sitting together in one of the flashbacks, this shot is only 7 seconds long and we are going to speed up the people that walk past so it looks like a lot of time has passed and they are a very happy couple, this will also add a look of professionalism to our video; we filmed for about 5minutes so we had enough footage and so that there was enough people to speed up as it wasn’t very busy at the time we went.. Emily continued to edit our MySpace page to make more use of our time as a group.
Log Book 20th October
Tom continued to edit the music video with mine and Emily’s input to make sure it was looking good for now; this takes a long time to get it perfect so this took up the whole hour of our lesson. So while Tom was busy doing that Sarah and Emily made up some events to go on the MySpace page and also edited the page so it looks more like a bands page.
Log Book 21st October
We all met at the local gig venue to film our band playing, we were able to get a variety of shots with lighting that enabled clear footage. As we knew the lighting director we had a chance to experiment with lights to get the best effects. Sarah who filmed most of the footage had a near death experiment from nearly being dragged into the mosh pit of angry teenagers. However the footage was well worth taking as it demonstrated a variety of performance based shots.
Log Book 26th October
We all got together within the half term and held a group meeting. Analysing the remaining shots that needed to be taken bearing in mind the weather conditions worsening as the months go on. This could affect our shots in a major way by it being too dark to film.
