We look back over what we edited last lesson and realised that the film did not all make sense so we asked Ms Slevin and Ms George to watch and they said that we had to add more to it in order for the audience to understand. We decide to film a bit more to help the audience understand how the two main characters first met. We filmed Rahil (T.J) coming out of prison and Genc (T.J's friend) waiting for him outside with Tatiana (Sarah) tayba (Sarah's best friend). This would help the story make more sense. We came back after filming and added this to the film, this helped a great deal although it also meant more editing.

Editing Day 3
As we had luckily managed to capture everything on the previous lesson, we could finally get going with the editing.
First we watched the video clips that we captured and dragged the bits that we needed and started putting them in order.
There were some scenes in which there was a lot of background noise and we had to block all that in order to hear the characters speak.
Then, we decided that we were going to make our own soundtrack for the film as we did not find any tracks that we liked. So while hind was putting the clips together i went into Logic Pro and started making the track.
The lesson was over before we knew it but we managed to get a lot done.

Editing Day 2
We had finish all the the filming so we had to capture everything. This took quite a long time as the tape kept freezing.
We decided that we did not want to waste any time so while everything was capturing we started looking for soundtracks we could use. This was hard as we had to find a track that wasn't copyright so there wasn't much to choose from.
When everything was finally captured we started putting bits together on the timeline but unfourtunately that is all we got to do as the capturing took a very long time.

Editing Day 1
We only had the opening shots so far so we started capturing and importing them, using firewire attached to the camera and the IMac.
We captured the shots onto the IMac. We haven't put the clips on the timeline yet but we have cut what we have so far and have left them on the browser as subclips to make it easier to add onto the timeline when we have the rest of our clips recorded.
Today we learnt that to capture successfully we have to rewind the the tape to where you started recording.

Creating Our Production Logo
We decided to create a logo that represents me and Tatiana. Our logo is in black with a red outline and a shadow of a soft red with a italic font. The red represents our strong, feminine,independant side along with the italic font.The black shows our rebellious, urban side which is softened down with a light red shadow. Tatiana and I agreed on this logo together and used photoshop to create it. We had some problems downloading the font from www.dafont.com, a site which provides free fonts. Alternatevely we wrote the text (t.h.t productionz) into the site and the site generated it into the font we chose. We chose this logo design because it represents our urban personalities with a feminine,sophisticated edge. Our logo design had two sides to it, just like our personalities and film productions too.

Production Day 1:
We went out to the locations that we are going to use for our montage, which we are going to use as our establishing shot.
We filmed this using a mini DV camera, as the Cannon XM2 DV were unavailable. We also used a Tripod to take steady shots and a brand new tape to avoid any problems or confusions. We also made sure that the camera was charged so that the battery did not run out when we were filming.
We had a fun experience and enjoyed working together. However, we found taking panning shots a bit difficult.
