Week 3- Starting the Project

  At the beginning of the lesson I joined the group I was in last week to finish editing the action scene.  It took us a while to get finished with our editing.  Since we had a start all over to various reasons, though it was for the best since it ended up better than before we added a lot of  continuity to the film. We took turns editing and I managed to do some of the middle bit and end of the film.
  I learned how to use continuity better in editing and also what kind of opening frame can work best.  I did most of the acting in the film and didn't use the camera during the film so I didn't learn much in camera use itself, but by watching the other films I saw how different angles and shots could make a film all the more better.
  This is the edited version of the film my group made ( I am the one being chased):

    We got the brief of what we had to do and I also got into my group that was chosen. We started discussing what topic we should film on. We had our eyes fixed on cyber-bullying/ internet safety as our film, but we couldn't come up with a good idea and story we could fit into that topic. So we started going to go towards peer pressure which was our second choice, even though I came up with a good idea for peer pressure which involved 2 people getting pressured into fighting each other the rest of the group thought that we could do something better than that. We didn't have a proper 3rd option. I suggested to do something about alcohol, but yet again my idea was rejected. Though I wouldn't really know how to come up with a story to fit with alcohol so I let it pass. We finally found something we could do. We decided to go with bullying and managed to develop the idea even further until it sounded a really good piece of footage.
   We started to write down the storyline and also had to find a team name(we struggled on that part and didn't end up finding a name that lesson). We did so much on developing our story bit by bit that we couldn't blog at the end of the lesson and went straight home. Next week I'm hoping were going to find a team name.
