What's new?
Well...We have captured all our footage onto the laptop, so now we can begin to edit our footage! That is it really...Just thought ill write another entry cos everyone else did...P.S Hammad has now redeemed himself to get his picture put back onto the blog. However, he is going to have to work extra hard to get the title of his picture changed :

progress so far

we have started editing now- yes we have been waking up early and staying at school till late but it will be worth it...when were editing we got some good feedback from the mentors and ideas which helped us alot so thanks to them. Also, we have nearly finished getting all our footage onto the computer so far its going well just need to learn how to attach all the wires properly as pav keeps shouting at us when we do it wrong!!!

PROGRESS REPORT!!

well we all got our editing passes and our demo of how to use the editing software but some how we still couldn't figure out how to capture our footage on the camera lol! oh well the more practise we get the better we'll be.

i want to do a reshot of naziya in the park in a different colour sari and using different shots, i have some ideas in mind just got to persuade the rest of my group lol wish me luck!

I've also been listening out for any music tracks to go over our trailer so if you guys got any ideas do tell!

Test Screening Feedback

Positive feedback:
-The park looked like a good environment as the sun was out aswell.
-Fits into the conventions of a bollywood trailer


Negative feedback:
-Not to zoom in and out so dramatically
-Get more of a variety of scenes
-Better/more scenes to shoot
-Have mis-en-scene in mind e.g. Hassan driving on the street

What we are going to work on:
-Better lighting
-More scenery/different places to shoot
-More close up shots - to focus on facial expressions

...What we have so far...

Here's a basic summary of what we have been up to recently...

Well, we finally got our cast together, and got some great filming done in Ealing. Having mise-en-scene in mind we got some great shots with a range of angles.
ALSO we got some typical bollywood 'action' filmed with our two hero's having a little punch up... when it snowed we got got Hammad to have a thinking moment or two... And we had our vilian criusing in his car!

Blog Comments

1. What do you think of our blog?
What do you particularly like about it? What's especially impressive?
What could be improved? What's missing or could be added?
2. Based on what you've read on the blog (and maybe seen in test screenings in class) what suggestions do you have regarding what we could do to make our Practical Production really successful?

What other things could we include in the production?

How should we go about filming any remaining scenes or editing the footage during post-production (+ suggestions for music, etc.)?
