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.

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.

10.05.10
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.

This morning we have been all over Brighton looking for footage for our documentary.
The first thing we did was meet a friend called Sid who has been homeless for around 13 years. We did the interview in the park at the bottom of Trafalgar Street where we set up the Video Camera on its Tri-Pod and the Boom Mic connected to a Digital Recorder. We asked him a number of questions from a script we had prepared in advance.
We also needed some footage of empty buildings, we had already located some last week on New England Road as part of our preparation for this task.
Next we went up to Brighton Police Station and got some footage of the building, this we will use in conjunction with some audio of the Polices position regarding the homeless and squatting in Brighton.
We also wanted some footage of a Big Issue seller but we couldn't find one who was willing to appear on camera but we did find a Busker who was willing to appear on camera for some spare change and we also found a poor guy by the train station who was begging who also was willing, for a bit of spare change, to appear on camera.

05.05.10 My Planner for Assignment One.
My first task was to complete the Proposal, this outlined the idea behind our documentary including a Concept Description, Creative Approach and Technical Considerations.
Luke worked on the script and Robby spoke to a friend about interviewing him for our documentary.
As a group we then went out to take some photos of possible locations for our documentary, these included some empty buildings and The Community Gardens on Lewes Road.
Individually I then created the storyboard, hand drawn, and then scanned it into the computer.
Once this was done, by using Photoshop I added annotations and cut out the individual frames, 20 in all and imported them all into Windows Movie Maker to make our Animatic.
I also added some music simply because the Animatic seemed a bit rubbish with out any sound.
I also had to do some research, this basically meant looking for any kind of information on any help for the homeless and what, exactly, are the Laws regarding Squatting. I got some information from the Unemployment Centre and the Cowley Club.

Over the weekend I have been working on the storyboard and the 20 frame animatic. After finishing the storyboard I met the rest of the group at the college library where I scanned it in.
I then added annotations to the storyboard and cut the different frames out using Photoshop.
Lastly I imported the 20 separate frames into Windows Movie Maker, added a soundtrack (something I made using Cubase) and made the animatic.
I also did some research over the weekend, I went to the Unemployment Centre and managed to get some leaflets on help that the homeless can access.
As a group we went to The Cowley Club and asked for any advice and the girl there promised to contact a friend of hers who is currently squatting in Brighton. I gave her my mobile number and later on she sent me a message saying that her friend would be happy to talk with us and gave us his name and number. we will contact him later on today.
