The past couple of weeks have been mental! After finishing the Video Production unit we had to gather all of our work together for the End of Year Show. We could either build a web site from scratch or choose a Template from Flash Village to display our work. I chose to use a Template which turned out to be a great deal more work than building a site from scratch. It takes a great deal of reverse engineering to remove all the work that is already on the Template and replace it with your own, especially with things like Audio, Animation and Web Sites.
I was pretty happy with the finished product though and managed to get (nearly) all of my work onto it.
The friends and family evening was interesting, although my family could not make it as they live in Devon, a couple of friends came along and enjoyed themselves.
I also had to finish my web site in time to get my presentation done for Key Skills. The presentation went well and my web site came out much better than I at first thought it would.

Today me and my team have been finishing and actually presenting our 15 minute Power Point presentation.
I think it did not go to bad but if we had actually rehearsed it a bit more it would have gone allot better.
The rest of the day has been spent watching the rest of the classes presentations, they have been very amusing with Matt, Conner and Lewis's being my favorite so far.

I have also finished creating the opening credits for our documentary, I did this using Photoshop.
I have also been finishing my pre-production and filming and editing planners.

17.05.10 'DEMOLITION PAINTBALL'
This morning we went to 'DEMOLITION PAINTBALL'.
This was not just a day out kind of thing but it was also meant to develop Team Building skills and bring us together more as a group.
I feel this was defiantly achieved as everyone had a great time and will be talking about it for some time to come.
Personally, even though I am black and blue, I really enjoyed myself.
This afternoon we have continued with the editing process and will hopefully be finished by Thursday as we have ripped our second tape from the cam-corder.

After capturing all of the footage from the cam-corder onto Adobe Premiere I had to go through it all and cut out all the different scenes, ten in total, once this was completed I then set about making a coherent film out of all the footage.
I have managed to do just over two minutes so far with another two minutes still needed to be done.

Today we have been getting to grips with some new software, Adobe Premiere which is what we will be using to edit our films. To be honest it is allot to take in in one day as there is so much that you can do with it from editing the video images the soundtrack and voice overs and you can even create sub titles and credits.
The good thing about it though is that the layout of Premiere is very familiar to Adobe Soundbooth and even Flash which makes it that much easier to learn.
I have also started creating the opening credits using Photoshop.

06.05.10 P.M.
This afternoon we went to the 11th floor of lham Tower and got some really good footage of pretty much the whole of Brighton which we will use as part of the opening sequence of our documentary.
We planned on visiting the Community Gardens on Lewes Road and a squat that we found out about yesterday but we have decided to leave it until tomorrow as we have done a great deal today and have walked miles! As we are all meeting up tomorrow anyway this will not be to much of a problem.
We have also been invited to an informal Squatters Association meeting at the Cowley Club on London Road next Tuesday night. This was thanks to a really nice girl who we spoke to earlier on this week in the Club and who phoned some of her friends and arranged for us to meet up with them.
Tomorrow we also need to get more footage of the homeless population of Brighton, find a Big Issue seller who is willing to appear on camera, meet up with Sid again at the place he is staying to get his opinion on squatting and shoot some footage of all the available information we can find on help for the homeless and squatters rights. This we will arrange on a table in the college library and possibly use towards the end of our documentary.
