Yesterday Charlotte and Me borrowed a camera from the media department and went around the school filming each other doing something i.e. walking from all different angles.
I filmed Charlotte walking out of the lift, i filmed her walking straight towards me to begin with, then i stood diagonally to the lift and filmed from the side walking out. Inside the lift on one side the wall is a mirror, so when i filmed her from the side i could see her in the mirror also, therefore it looked like there was two of her. This looked really effective. i then stood behind her and filmed her walking out from that postion. Then, i walked out with the camera recording so the audience would be seeing what she would be seeing. When we were happy that we had a few different angled shots we came back and downloaded it onto the Apple Mac's. We used a program called 'iMovie' to edit our short film. Mr Bonny gave us a quick demonstration of how to use this program so we could play around with it and become familier with it as this was the program we will be using when we come to edit our actual film introductions we will be making. Fortunatly, last year when i was at Les Quennevais School, I produced a short film for my GCSE ICT project using iMovie, so i was already familier with the program.
We 'cut' scenes down to the only bits we wanted and put in place another scence we thought would go well there instead. We used transitions inbetween the scences to make them flow smoothly and effectivly from one to another. Once we played around with our short film amd we were happy with it, we saved it and went outside again to film another. "Practice makes perfect"!!

This time Charlotte filmed me doing a 'split leap'. We did exactly the same as what we did when i was filming Charlotte and filmed from all differnt angls. Front, behind, side and this time underneath also. Once we were happy we had filmed from every angle we came back in and downloaded it onto the Apple Mac, used iMovie and edited it the same way we did our other footage. Once we were happy with it we saved it and watched it back.
