Experimenting with Post-Production Effects

In today's lesson (17.10.14), we practised with After Effects to try to create the desired effect with recording the screen and to show the amount of viewers/likes/subscribers quickly climbing up.
We screen shotted the 'views' section beneath the video on YouTube and used After Effects to change the numers to count up.
Even though we tested with the number of viewers, we may use this effect with the number of subscribers instead of the number of viwes, but we will decide that later after we have done the majority of the filming.

Filming Dates

Even though we do have the oppurtunity to film our material in half term; week beginning October 27th; as a group, we can't do this due to prior commitments, and so we all know that we need  to work out when we're all free to film by looking at our college timetables:

(Blue O's are Olivia's frees, Black O's are Matt's free and the Blue -'s are Gemma's frees)

We all have two free periods together first thing on Monday mornings; 8:45 - 10:45; as well as having a double Media lesson at the same time on Tuesdays.

We're going to begin filming on Monday 20th October, and as long as we have permission to film during our Media lessons, we'll also film Tuesday 21st October, as well as Friday 24th.

Permission to Film

We needed permission from either Marion or Andrew to film during our double Media lesson on Tuesday morning on the 21st, I emailed Marion asking her and here is the response:

However, we were unable to film on Tuesday 21st October due to having to buy some props, and the little time we had until our next college lesson. So, we therefore decided to arrange to film on Friday 24th October from 13:00 - 17:00. Here is the email I sent to our teachers and the response:

Lighting Decisions

Generally in a comedy the lighting is bright so it creates a humorous aspect for the audience which in our piece is important as we want our audience to be engaged in what we are showing.

We will be using High key lighting in the majority of the film although at some points of the film we will be using night vision in the prank where the male character (Jack) sneaks into the female characters(Hannah) room.

As followed are some examples of what we do and don’t want our lighting to look like.
