However Amy and Chloe were able to convert all files so that we could use it in Final Cut Pro.

We had many technical difficulties due to the college network for our editing suite computer. Therefore we were unable to continue with editing.

Wednesday 23rd March
We stayed in college and Amy continued editing the photographs into size. Then Chloe and Ashleigh took over to edit the film clips and saved all the clips we will be using in the main task to a suitable, tidy folder.
Amy then typed up and planned the recent diary entries that were missing over the past couple of weeks from the blog.

Monday 21st March
We met in college for 9am. Amy edited the photographs - with help in opinion with length by Chloe and Ashliegh - we had taken the day before on Sunday 20th.
Later, we decided to film the ending of the main task which would be the 3 characters walking through the college gates and the camera panning up towards the sky.
For this we had the familiar difficulty of having no one to film. Luckily, being on the college premises and filming in college we were able to cast a double of Chloe so that Chloe could do the filming.
With the camera positioned on the main road infront of college, busy traffic was an interupting problem. We had to film the upward panning seperately so that no traffic, for example; tall lorries, would get in the way.

Amy thought of an effective insert sequence to have for the 'flashbacks'.
As a flashback is a memory, and photographs capture memories. We decided to use a professional photography camera to take snap shots to show the characters stumbling home from a crazy night out.
To do this with full effect of the night time we thought it would be best to do it in darkness outside instead of editing the film with a dark filter.
Therefore, we met up on Sunday evening at Ashlieghs house. Amy borrowed the camera and tripod from a family friend. We also had difficulty shooting out original idea of all three characters being in the shots as there is only 3 of us in the group and there would be no one to take the photos again. We overcame this by using only 2 characters in one shot and then Chloe on her own in the others. This will work with the film and fit in where it needs to be inserted.
Another problem was the SD Memory card. It was a very small memory of only 238mb. This meant we were limited to the amount of shots we could take. However we cut it all down, and it was successful.

We all met at college at 9am.
We looked through all the footage we had filmed previously and then decided that the shots didnt look as good as they could have.
We want the best effect possible and so got the metrolink to Ashlieghs house once more to re-film what we had already filmed on Monday 14th. Then we were happy with everything.

Monday 14th March
We all met up at Ashleighs house to film the bedroom scenes for the first part of the opening sequence. We decided to film these scenes again in Ashleighs bedroom as in Amys' bedroom, the lighting wasnt right for what we had all pictured and Ashlieghs room suited the desired mise-en-scene more than Amys or Chloes bedrooms.
We also faced a few difficulties with the filming. Due to filming during college hours there wasnt anyone we could use to play any of the characters apart from outselves. We wanted to do a panning shot across from Chloe to Amys face when asleep in bed. However to include all three characters in the same shot prooved impossible as there would not be anyone to film the sequence. Finally, we chose to have Amy film chloe's pan shot over to Ashlieghs face and then pause filming and then Chloe would carry on filming to get Amy in the panning shot.
This was successful.

9th Feb, 2011
We decided not to continue filming the main task as we realized that we should upload posts onto our blog, as not to fall behind on our diary entries.
We also continued to observe and discuss the opening sequence of our main task so far.
We are unable to upload the still images of our animated storyboard due to technical difficulties with a pen drive. However, we are still trying.
