Editing day 2

I thought it would be a good idea to start some of the editing at home as I have Final Cut Pro. However, we were unable to export it to the computers in the classroom, thus we were unable to use the already edited footage. Although this was unfortunate, the good thing about this was that it gave us a guide as to how to start editing our film on the iMacs at college.

After we edited some of it on the iMacs, we started to think about transitions and the title sequence. 

We did not finish editing, but we got the basic gist of how we wanted the film to be edited so that we were ready for the next editing session.

Editing day 1

Editing Day 1

On the first day we edited, we uploaded all the clips from the SD cards and put them onto our video drive and onto Final Cut Pro. We sorted out the scenes we wanted to use and the ones we didn't. For the most part, we just wanted to get our clips in the right order on final cut pro, and think about how to start editing our film. 

Reflection of location

Reflection of costume choice

Kims costume consisted of casual attire. A scarf, coat, boots and hat; something that would be worn to a college or uni. This was supposed to reflect her characters personality, believing that she was an innocent student, coming home from college. I think her costume was successful in doing so. 


The girls in the gangs costume consisted of hoods, jackets, bandanas, trainers and tracksuit bottoms. This was was to portray the gangs anonymity and mysteriousness. I think the costumes reflected what the gang was about. However, I feel that if the gang was all dressed the same and in black, their costumes would have been much more effective and would have been more anonymous.

Production - Half term 2

On Tuesday 18th of February, we arrived at Chanises house at 9.30am. Luckily there was no rain on this day so it was perfect to film. We prepared our equipment and took the p12 to Peckham once everyone arrived. 

Once we got to Peckham, we re-filmed the shots that we had to redo from the previous filming session. Ensuring that there was no space left above the head, and that the camera was in focus the entire time. When we were ready to leave to get back to Chanises area, we realised that a quiet area in Peckham with graffiti would be a better place to film.

This is a picture from one of the pieces that were in the area. We thought this was a great area to film in as the graffiti on the walls reflected the characters and what they were about. So this now became our new location to film where the mugging incident took place.

We went to Chanises house to quickly plan how we were going to film in this new location and then went back to Peckham. Unfortunately this meant that we were unable to bring a key prop which was the bike, this required some deep thought about how filming was going to go. 

For this day, filming went great and we made sure most of the shots were good and redid the ones we thought didn't look as good.
