Playing back the footage and beginning to edit our piece yesterday was an arduous task; it raised questions about our idea, and about the length of time that we had given each shot on the screen. One positive that we were able to draw from this was that we had plenty of footage, and so we could in effect cherry pick the best of it.
Today was a much more successful day than tuesday; we looked at our footage again and found that the parts of the narrative with which we were pleased had footage that we would be happ to use. We also consulted with Miss Fernandez, and found her advice to be helpful. She suggested that the hostage scene - the part that we were least convinced by - could be filmed in school under the main stage, erasing the need for us to make another trip to Sevenoaks to film.
Mr Fiveash also reassured us that our idea would be fine, and helped us on the editing front. During the lesson Timo and Simon went on a reccie of our new hostage location, and filled out the required call sheets and risk assessments in order for us to use the equipment tomorrow. I continued to edit the footage that we intend to use still, and we have collaborated to make sure our filming tomorrow is seamless.
We may struggle to produce a rough cut by tomorrow's lesson, however we will go into that lesson much more confident within our project than we did today, and our aim will be to continue that for the rest of the project and end our coursework particularly strongly.
