We are down to the very last project and i have been really looking forward to this project as this is a sort of real world project and i think will help in later years.
I have not yet thought of a good design yet, (it is very hard!!!!) but i am getting my footage and content sorted, i have a general idea of what kind of content i will have and how it is going to transition into different things.
Very exiting couple of days!

48 HOUR Film Festival
Sooo, 48 hours is finally over!!
PHEW.......
This was probably the most stressful project i have ever done!! and its only worth 10 percent. Also this was probably was one of the most exiting and real world constraints included project i've done.
Over all i really enjoyed making the film, even though we got the film 15 minutes late. I think our assigned area (Action/Adventure) was probably a dream come true as we woudve hated to have something like Romantic Comedy!!
Our movie is called BAD APPLES and is a very stylish and cool crime action short film. I think that we had some really good(killer shots) in the movie which really made the movie even more cool.
Some of the problems that we encountered while making the film was that we could not get the film off the camera onto the avid as we were using a High-Def camcorder and it took us pretty much half the day to get that working. After all our editing and fixing up the film we had a huge problem with the video where we were missing the audio, when we finally did get the audio in, the damn audio was out of sync!! after that we had a HUGE problem getting the video back into the DV tape (The reason why we handed it in late)
In the end i think that our project turned out pretty good/cool and am happy with the amount of work we got done in that time. I think Morgan would be quite impressed with the quality of the film and how good it actually looks and the shots we have in there.

Presentation....
Soooo today we had our presentation and in my opinion, i found it extremely tough!!!
I think my presentation didnt go that well,the comments given by morgan were constructive comments which will help me in future projects. For my project it was pretty much impossible to get original footage, so i tried my best to work with what i had and what i could find.
Therefore because of the my project missing original footage, i think i might get marked harshly.

Audio
For my docmentary style video i had an idea to put some instrumental music, mayebe something with a saxaphone which in my opinion will be a really stlylish feel to the movie.
More on the project itself....
well i've pretty much edited my movie, ive string together a sequence of films over my voice which is reading a script.
there are a lot of still images in the movie, as i wanted the movie to look and feel like a STYLISED DOCUMENTARY. I do how ever have a lot of relevant clips that i got through archive.org

Relief (Phew)
well yesterday i got an email from morgan that we had an extention for the project which was awsome news as i was just going hard into editing and getting everthing done as fast as i could.
In a way i didnt really want the extention as i was into a zone of my concentration, and i was editing perfectly.

Final Idea
So after a lot of research. My idea for the project is going to be on "paparazzi".
I think this is a very interesting area to explore, i think it would be very interesting to feel what its like to be followed every day,hour and second of your life and being watched beyond your control. Also how the celebrity copes with the pressure and what they do to protect themselves and their family.
Another area i want to get into would be to have a look at to what lengths do the paparazzi go to chase down the celebs.

Thoughts on Project 3
i have found it really hard to come up with ideas for this certain project. In my opinion in these kind of projects it is actually quite hard to come up with the initial ideas as there are no boundaries and you could do pretty much what ever you want.
In the holidays i did some research on documentaries and how they are made and what type of techniques are used to make them more effective. They did help quite a lot but i still needed an idea. The videos showed by morgan were also very helpful and gave us a very good insight into film/documentaries.
