Film update time D:

It is getting very stressful and last minute now we are into the final week of producing our "Ticket" film interpretation. We were going to record any extra shots and sounds we need to enhance the rough edit I have thrown together so far. We filmed the main bulk of our footage last Wednesday using Tim as the actor for Sam and Alex as Lisa's character, due to a last minute cancellation by our initial female actor.

We will try and gather all extra footage by tomorrow so we can start editing what we have so far to increase its quality and style as much as possible. Our main influence is a 60s French film called Breathless by Jean  Luc Godard.


The main aims from this influence is using a black and white style and jazz-style piano music at appropriate times throughout. We could also discuss using subtitles to give a similar style, but instead of translating in subtitles, we could put what the character is truly thinking. We will consider this if we have time.


Here are some photographs I took on my iPhone on the main day of filming last week.

As you will see we were using some quite complicated unfamiliar equipment. We did this to improve the potential quality of the sound - we could only use a boom mic with the professional camera. We still did struggle with this equipment and found the windy conditionals still affected our sound slightly in some places, but think it was better quality that it would have been with the domestic HD camcorders. We may have sacrificed some of the image quality by setting most settings to automatic on the complex camera but I feel the quality is acceptable and can be enhanced with tools on Premiere Pro when I start to add more effects this week.
