Today we have been working hard on making subtitles for one part of the interview i also helped Luke work on the presentation for our video i put together a small photomontarge of some of the locations we visited during our location scouting

many of the locations we visited were not used in the final video due to time restraints in both the filming and editing side of the project.

all editing should be done by tonight by both myself and Paul.

Today we went paint balling (the idea being a team building activity) this was fun i had a camera attached to my gun but the footage didn't come out as well as i had hoped (a lot of shots of the floor and the trees that i hid behind.
all in all this was a fun morning and we all seemed to enjoy ourselves.

after returning to college we viewed the footage of that myself and john had captured on cameras this was entertaining. we also had a look at how our evaluation should look

Luke and Liam finished taking the footage for the documentary of the camera and put it on to the computer me and Paul will get some of this edited tomorrow ready for Luke and Liam to finish of on Wednesday.

Today we got stuck in to editing our documentary while Paul started on piecing some of the video clips together i started cleaning up some of the audio in the interviews that we had done. i also started working on a rough version of the voice over script.
after lunch we went through some techniques of adding special effects to videos most of witch i had discovered on Monday.
Its a bit early to tell but i think this project is going to go well as long as every one pulls there weight.

Today after a lot of messing around we maneged to start transferring the video from the camars to the computers.
This was something we should have been prepared for because no one in my team had any experience in using Adobe Premier and none of us knew that the video transfer would take up so much hard drive space luckily the tutor had an external hard disc with a terabyte (1024Gig) of space on it this was extremely helpful as it meant we could transfer all of the video footage to the computers ready for editing together.

Today we learnt about using Adobe Premier Pro i found this a bit overwealming at first but after 5 minutes of playing with it i quickly realised how simple it can be to use
the thing to remember about Premier is its all about the set up, if this is done incorectly then nothing will work properly.
After learning the basics i started looking in to special effects and how to work with them this lead on to finding how to add subtitels.

For the start of the day we traveled around Brighton filming scenes for our video documentary. After gathering a few shots of empty buildings ready for parts of the voice over we moved on to interviewing a friend named Sid and altho he was a bit tired from where we had woken him up for the interview. However the interview went extremely well we even gathered some shots of his dogs.
After this we headed to st James street to try to get some shots of a Big Issue seller but on the way we stoped to take some shots of the police station this was funny as the police (who still haven't contacted us to give us there official stance on squatting) were very quick to come out of the station to check what we were up to. After showing them our IDs to prove that we were not terrorists we continued to st James street only to have the one Big Issue seller refuse to be on film but we did find a busker that was happy to be filmed as we dropped some change guitar case this was a very good shot in my opinion.
We then continued to travel Brighton looking for Big issue sellers and empty buildings. we found a homeless person near the train station that was willing to be filmed as we handed him some lose change this again was a good shot in my opinion.
after we returned to college we had a quick review of what we had filmed before going on to the roof of the Pelham tower to get a nice high shot of Brighton.
the plan is that tomorrow we will gather a few more shots of homeless and squatters to fill up the video and we will also have a panning shot of some information on a table this will be done in the library.
just before the end of the day we had a bit of a panic as we thought that we had filmed over the interview luckily for us this was not the case we just didn't know how to operate the cameras replay function.
