CSX Freight Train Runs Over Camera



This video inspired me to use a car rather than a train, however the car i have in my video is too low and could possibly damage my camera.

Ludacris - Act a Fool (DirtyVersion)




This is another version that i have of Ludacris Act a Fool, the reason i have this one is because the song has many swears in and i would like the video to have the version with swears in as it wont have loads of bleeps in, so i will be using this one in my film.

Ludacris - Act A Fool (MTV Version)




This is the track that i am going to have in my film, the reason i am going to have this is because it it car related, and my film is about cars.

I did a proposal with Paul, we had to pick a film and pretend it wasn't released and write a proposal on it. this gave me a clear indication of what sort of detail we had to put in to the proposals to get a good grade, we presented our proposals in front of the class and then had a discussion if they had a good amount of detail and if the class had to invest into the film would they after listening to the proposal, this exercise made me aware of the types of info a decent proposal should have and the depth i have to go in to have a successful.

In the morning before i came to the lesson i downloaded my soundtrack that i needed for my film....
the track that i downloaded was 2fast 2furious by Ludacris.... The reason i downloaded this track was because it is related to my 1 minute video, my 1 minute video is car related and that track is in the film 2Fast &2Furious,  this is going to be the background sound while i overlap my video on top....

Tasks that i am going to do in the lesson.....
> search for more appropriate sound that i could possibly have in my video
> make an Youtube account as any practical work has to be uploaded on Youtube before it can be embedded on Blogger

13/09/12 Filming 1 Minute Film

Its about 9.35 at the minute and i have completed all of my filming in my own time for the 1 minute film!
I encountered some problms however i overcame them easily by redoing shots...
the problems that i encountered were people or cars that i didn't want in my shots were coming into my film, also when i got the stig to overtake cars there was too much head on traffic coming however i completed the film by redoing the shots. i also came across quite a bit of camera shake however this all would just add to the effect of the car going fast. The final problem i had was i chose a shot that i have seen on Youtube that i wanted to try out, its when you have the camera on the floor and a car goes really fast over the camera, the video that i seen was of a train however i used that idea and thought i could use a car instead, it gives a real good effect of the car racing towards the camera however the car that i was using in my shots a Ford Focus ST it is modified and it is too low so it would have damaged my camera.
I may go bk some time through out this week to make a few more shots abit more intresting but i think the editing and sound will put my film together nicley....
I filmed using my own camera, this made life easier than booking one out but i may have to comprimise on quality....
My film is about local street racers that 'cruise' about for no apparant reason....
All i have left to do is redo a few shots....
