I continued what i started in the last lesson which was to shorten my footage to get it around 1min long. Once i had done this i started to play around with the sound so that the scene where they're inside the house had the same constant sound. As the football was on the most distinctive sound was the vuvuzela's so i took a short sound clip of the noise and repeated it throughout.

During this lesson my rough cut was just under 2mins long so my next task was to cut it right down so that it's quite fast paced. To help me do this i imported a music track with a fast tempo to help show when i should cut to the next shot. My aim was to continue this in the next lesson.

During this lesson we took my project off of the Mac and put it onto the Macbook Pro so that i could work on it when we weren't in the Mac room. I had pretty much finished my rough cut at the end of this lesson.

Today i was aiming to get my whole project filmed, and i did. I had to purchase a few props to begin with such as some cans of Carlsberg and a Rustlers burger. All the other props were at home. I was very pleased with how smooth the filming went, i had no problems at all. There was one shot i had to get right as i didn't have much chances. This was when my actors Alicia and Paul opened the can and cheered. If they got this wrong it would be hard to re-create the opening of the can. Luckily it went well. I had to shoot some footage of the World Cup, although if it doesn't look good, i may have to do it again. In the next lesson i aim to start editing a rough cut of my footage.

Today i finished off my paperwork. Seeing as i need to film at home, i thought it would be best to wait till friday, so i didn't do a lot today, just thought about what i needed to get ready for filming.
