Right, We havnt been here for quite a while, soooo i have much to update you lot about. The first and maybe the most important is that we have changed the whole plot of the two minute clip. we have moved aaway from the boxing idea because of difficulties in filming. Though we will be updating the pictures and movie clips we filmed and took over the course of the past 4 weeks, so they dont go to waste.
The new plot is one which contains a plot twist, The idea is We see mubashir coming out from a place called eagle court, we follow him untill he reaches a point. Then we bring in a new character who is to be believed as a crook and one who would rob the innocent mubashir. we have him follow mubashir for a while, before he utters the words 'Oii, wheres my phone/ i know you'. Mubashir then runs and he falls over and then pleads the person not to rob him. As the 'crook' comes into the light we realise the two are actually close friends and the crook identifies himself as being michael. the pair share a joke and then begun to walk away. In the distance we hear, 'Oii wheres my money' leaving the pair motionless just before fleaing the scene. this opens the question whether the new character is a friend or a crook. the scene finishes there.

Sixth post: New member
Breath of fresh air, we have a new member, Rory from 3 we go to 4. Less pressure on the group..........
Fifth post: Film clip
The rough idea of what our group has come up with is based around the sports genre. It tells the story of Mubashir a 17 year old boxer who is about to make it big if he impresses a promoter who has come to see if he has got what it takes.
The clip begins off at his boxing club, we see him putting on individual clothing. When we he puts on his pants, it cuts to black and titles are shown, the same happens after he puts on his gloves and to limit it becoming repetitive we join the clips of him putting on his socks before cutting to a final black, when we fade from black we see Mubashir throwing a punch to a punching bag, we match cut this to a video of Mubashir when he was a kid throwing punches in a video. We start a slow zooming and we see Mubashir watching the clip, the silence is broken by the father. He delievers an important line which tells a bit more what the clip is going to be about. At this point Mubashir replies and we cut to him at the backroom of the event, we hear in the background the chanting of fans and friends. He is visibly nervous and his body is shuddering. it cuts to him entering the ring. The fight begins and he takes a few punches and a few more. When his against the ropes he looks over and sees his father and future promoter driving him on. At this point he begins to fight and he pushes his opponent into the corner just before the round ends. The clips ends and we are shown the name of the film.

Fourth post: Clip evaluation
Evaluation of the short video clip, the clip shows John walking from the upper floor and walking down stairs. He enters a room and begins a conversation with Michael. He finds out that he has a English homework due for the next lesson so he leaves.
The first shot is of a long shot to show John entering the shot after and we follow him going into the cafeteria. We have an insert shot of the John opening the door, we cut to a medium shot of him walking into the room, we cut to a long shot in order to track him and show him sitting down. Before he sits down we cut to an over the shoulder two shot to introduce a new character, Michael. We cut back to john so he can finish sitting down. We cut back to a medium close up of Michael delivering the one line of dialogue. When this happens we cut back to John to show his dissatisfaction over what he has just found out. We show a POV close up of John in order to try and emphasize John’s emotion. We cut back to a two shot of Michael and John as john stands up and shakes’s Michaels hand. We then track John walking out the room and the clip ends.

Third Post
We have just finished out editing. We have made a simple video of John having a conversation with me. we have made a few mistakes in the editing but we have learnt form them. For example, we now know only to cut when necessary. We have gain the knowledge of how to remove black spots inbetween shots, doing this we have made our video less jumpy and now has more of a plot.
Second Half
In todays lesson, me and my group worked on how we can use the camera. We shot a variety of shots outside the school campus, the first was a long shot which tracked the walk of Mubashir from side to side. We later moved indoors and worked out way in which we could film in doors and keep the lighting similar. We forgot though about teh 180 rule and crossed the line. We learnt at this point that we must keep the camera on one side in order to maintain balance and not confuse out audience.
