Tutorial task week 7 - making video

In tutorial week 7 we filmed all our scenes for our movie. We made up our own story and shot the scenes ourselves so we would not have any copyright problems. We filmed with my Canon digital camera. In the first scene we used the color effect sepia to get an older look. Then we used normal black and white in the second scene, and regular colors in the last scene. I think that worked great, and was a clever way to seperate the scenes. When we filmed the Facebook-chat we had to use Word to get the names right and to get the chat big enough.

The most difficult part was to figure out how we should organise the scenes to get out the message that we wanted. It was particulary hard when we shot the scenes without sound. We shot the scenes we were uncertain about several times and tried out different things like angel, situation etc. so we could pick the best outcome.

It was really hard to figure out so many scenes and lines in that short amount of time, but at least we got finished and are ready to edit the movie next tutorial. When we were supposed to upload the films from my  camera we ran into some troubles. My wire did not fit my camera, and neither the school computer or Cathrine's computer had a memory card access. I just have to upload the film to my computer, and bring them on a USB-stick to the next tutorial where we will edit the movie in imovie.
