Woodlands Soap Opera

Monday 9th February

Today we finally finished our soap opera!!! 

After ages if hard work it finally was all put together with the title sequence, and actually looks really good :) Hollie and Katie went to film the pregnancy scene, which was the last chapter in our filming process, it didnt take too long and why they were away filming, i cracked on with an evaluation questionnaire, why sofia and keeley made a few adjustments to the soap. When Hollie returned we imported the clips from the pregnancy situation and finally finished putting together our soap :) We now will burn it onto a disk and crack on with our evaluation!

Monday 2nd February

Today..... its snowed, but as good students we cracked on with our media work :) we had a few problems with clips, a lack of them in fact. Our soap was only 1 minute long, so me and Sof using our initiative and great ideas made another clip for the soap, of A.J and Cameron discussing  the situation between him and Amy. It went ok but we did not get enough shots like different over the shoulder shots etc so we plan to try and film that bit again. We then near enough finished our title sequence which is down to the very ends of editing and we also put of soap together :) and it is starting to look ok and just needs a few adjustments.

Friday 30th January

Today in our lesson, the group heard my own title sequence song, which we all liked and thought it was a good creation. We then decided that maybe if we have a new song, we should start our title sequence over again and include differant clips so it suits the new track. We proceeded to creat a new one and got about half way through before our time ran out in lesson. At the end of the lesson we came up with a plan for next week, as it has to be in for next friday. Nearly everything has been filmed we have a little bit to do and then all the rest will be editing the clips and making it into our 2 minute soap.

Wednesday 28th January

   HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOLLIE :) :) :) 

17 TODAY :) 

We Love You Hollie

Beat That Sof! :D

Today, me and sofia went to do a little bit more filming, before we cracked on with editing our title sequence, which is near enough finished, we just need to add a few more clips to the sequence, and finally finish it off with the actually woodlands park. After that we stared to edit the start of our soap, we put a few clips together and came up with a song to use for our alarm clock which fits into the first few clips of the opening act of the soap. We then had a problem as we went to get the rest of our music for the lips, and found out all our work randomly had gone............ We cracked on then with getting the last bits filmed, involving katie and then suj sorting out some things, which would then leave us with a week and a bit to edit our film completely and have it ready for next Friday's deadline.

Monday 26th January

Today me and sofia went to film gemma getting ready, which went well, but ended up in me not being allowed in her house! sof did the filming her self. credit to Sof. I came back and continued to edit the title sequence which now is starting to look very good, the music fits in really well with the clips. Wednesday we plan to finish our filming completely and have the rest of the time to edit. 

Monday 19th January

Today was just a case of looking at what we filmed on the sunday, and weather it was good enough, or if we would have to film parts again. We cam to a little conclusion that maybe one part would have to be filmed agai nas the lighting is not very good as it got dark very quickly on the sunday. Overall we were happy with what we had filmed and decided to go and finish our locaton scouting for our title sequence. After doing that Sof keeley and me came up wit ha suitable theme tune for our title sequence, and i decided that i would do the job of explaining why we choose it and what the song represents to our programme. The reason we chose the song, was it was attractive to a teen audience, and also the lyrics involved in it, i.e. we move along, represents that when you have a problem and things arnt going your way, we move along to something better and stop worrying about the things that keep us down.
