We're signed off! It's a relief to have finished the piece; it's something that I'm really proud of and it has been fun to film and edit. We had to rush a lot in the last couple of days but so did most other groups. I'm happy with the finished result and I hope that the people who come to the screening agree with me.

Having captured the footage from yesterdays reshoot, I'm confident that we can reach the deadline. At the moment we're putting the finishing touches to our sequence before adding titles and music. The next few days will be tough but I'm sure that we can complete the task on time.

I'm looking forward to Sunday's reshoot and finally getting all the footage needed to make our sequence. Hopefully we can also come up with some new ideas as well as simply reshoot the shots that went wrong last time around.

In today's lesson we started to create the titles for our sequence and began to discuss the music for it. We're also cutting down the length of it which is extremely useful because it means we know how long the shots we will reshoot must be (for example we may be able to shave a second or two off of some shots).

Following our shoot, we've put together a very rough cut of our sequence; so far it's looking much much better than the test! However, its also a bit longer so hopefully over the next couple of days we can cut it down to the requirements.

In the lesson we came up with a new shot list for tomorrow's shoot; we are confident that this will work.

For the shoot I'm expected to bring hair gel and cardboard boxes.

Influential films

I know this isn't technically a film, but I like the fact that it's all done in one shot. I think it would be good to have one continuous shot (however, even though this would be different it is far more likely that it will be split up by cutaway shots).

Yet again, I'm sorry to say that the embed code has been disabled!

The rest of the group have now read the list of problems (and more importantly, possible solutions) contained in our test shoot and we can discuss these in tomorrow's lesson. I have of course advised that they add to this list.
