In  Today's session  in the morning we were doing lots of  editing.After break Derek  came,

we showed our rough edit to  Derek.  we weretalking what  is our video about,how does it going to  efffect other teenagers,and what else do we going to   have to  do  ... we pointed out that if some  teenagers will  watch that video,and if they're in the same situation they will  think  maybe,that they should ask  someone's help  not just like  stay how it is.They will seiously think. He said that if we want to  make  them think then   we really  have to  do  it something like really  special to think,how in the real  life is. We now realise that we need   to  do it everything more realistic, like there is one scene that the girl  has a bruise and she doesnt show to  her friend,he said it would more realistic,if she  could show it  to  her friend. because in that scene you cant actually  see her bruise.he  really  liked the bit when  a  girl  found out that  her boyfriend was cheating on her,because he said that before he was thinking how do  we are going to  show,that is going to  be really  hard to  show it,but after he said its really  good an idea.He didnt really  like the bit with  a facebook  chat.He suggested  like that we could add some effects on it,on a chat some circle around,and he said that a chat is a bit to  long,so  we have to  make it more sorter.

After he left we were doing some more editing,we corrected the things that he said we should change it,we found some music to put on it,to make everything more sad.we finnish everything for the next lesson we will going to  have to  work on our folders,to  finnish it of everything.

Today we had to  do some filming,we decided to  change some of the scenario,because we thought it will be more interesting. we changed that bit the girl  saw her boyfriend cheating on her.We chose to  do  phone calling,because we thought it would be more interesting and there you  can show some more emotions. it was the only  bit which we had to do  and we finnished it.

After we came back to the classroom we started editing all of those videos,

we tried to  take sound of the other video and put it onto the other one because it was some strange noises,and when we did it it didnt really  work. so we just had to  leave it as it was before. We found that  one thing if its some bit really  important and for example that scene is to  quick or to  slow then we can  make  that bit more slowly or more quicker,and that was  really  useful thing. We found out that video can look  more interesting if  for example one person would talk to the other person. And during this time they  would talk, if you show of those two  persons emotions it would look  really  really  good. we tried it and it really  worked!

One thing that it was really annoying that when we filmed, computer's screen  went blue or thorough the computer's screen was going some  weird lines, so we had to  edit some effects for it for don't see the blue screen,if we wouldn't do it, then we would have to  come back and do this shot of computer's screen again.

I have enjoyed actually  editing,it was well fun,the most thing that i liked about it ,and i found it really funny it was when like you are watching a video and if you speed up a voice,its actually  your is really  funny.

As a group  we were discussing a lot, we tried to  find the best way to it,we were deciding everything together.

For next week we have to  finnish it of. because we haven't done even half of the editing ...  so we just have to work on it next week for rest of the day.

And maybe we have practise a bit how to  edit a video, because its lots of things that we dont really  know about it . 

In Today's session  we went to  film  in Thea's , we wanted to  finnish  it of,but we didnt finnish all of it because sound wasnt working.and we had to  come back to  school.but what we did,we did one of the flash back,when  her boyfriend was going to  hurt  her.she was sitting on the  stairs in the corner really  scared .. and the same scene we did it from  of shapes.
After we came back to  school  we did some editing..  I learned to  how to  edit some effects, and how to  speed up  a video and when you  are doing it sounds really  funnt  thats what i liked the most about it.
But the things that i   learned today its really  useful, that things that i  didnt know before...
for next time we plan to  finnish it all of it .. next week we are going to thea's house  to  film  and then come back and edit it ..

Where is your last post, Gerda?

Good post, gerda!

In Today's session,the group  of Me,Thea and Amiee went to  film it outside of the school.we decided to  film in Thea's house because it was closer to school.

First thing what  did we have to  do  before filming, we had to  write a risk assessment about what kind of dangerous things could happen.on the way  to  Thea's house and there.After we finnished it we took  all  the equipments (camera,charge ...)  and went to  Thea's house to  film it ...
When we came to  Thea's we took all  of the equipments out and we started to film. Our topic was about relationships ...
My role today was  an actress  i had to  be a girl  who is suffering from her boyfriend because hes cheating on  her,hurts her,doesnt  respect me.I worked out if you  like taking a shot like of your hands,legs...then you  can show your emotions much better.I realised as much shots as you  do  like for example: one girl is talking and during this time shes talking if you take lots of shots of  her from different sides, hands,close up to face it's going to  look more interesting..For me as an actress most of the hardest thing it was to  show an emotions for the situation .. so i just had to  work  on it a litte bit ..

It was well enjoyable to work as a group.. the funniest thing it was like when it starting you filming you just want to  laugh..,  thats what i hated the most..It was really  usefull  in our filming to  use white balance,because for an example we had to  film  a screen of computer and it was blue,so we just used a white balance,and it  alright after..
I think that as a group  we really  improved our  skills ..
For next time we have to  film another half of video..
