Weekly production 5

During this week the main focus was was to re-film a particular shot which had been cut off too early, This seemed difficult at first as we still needed to allocate additional time by finding slots that we were all free in. However we managed to film this during Tuesday period 2, the shot that we filmed was where Daniel O. wrapped his arm around Rauf. This took us no longer than 5 minutes. What i did was visualise a mental image that the shot would fill in manually with the corresponding shots, i also filmed additional shots in case my judgement was wrong and this also provided extra footage to compare and allocate which one would be best suited to be replaced for.
Overall i think this week went pretty well in terms of production and editing, after editing the re-filmed scene the shot was put in place and uploaded to YouTube.

production log week 4

During this week i filmed the last scene of the duo walking out the children park from where Daniel rejoices with Rauf. Apart from that this whole week consisted of editing the clips together and adding effects etc. The clips blended in well altogether however with the audio some clips were a little muffled as you could hear the wind behind the dialogue but this wasn't a issue as i resolved it by detaching the audio and lowering the overall volume of  clips that were affected enough to be noticed.

Looking back at the edited product as a whole a part that struck me as something that needed to be change was during the last scene where Daniel O. puts an arm around Rauf, the footage cut off too quick therefore a re-shoot may me required in the near future. Aside from that the whole production was done fairly well and the characters can across as genuine and relatable.

Overall this week there wasn't many constraints as most of the time managing stuff was controlled beforehand by messaging the cast members a day before to remind them to wear the same clothes. In terms of filming, one shot wasn't up to standard therefore further measures must be taken to address this issue which will certainly hinder the time taken to complete the production bearing in mind the deadline.
