This Week in Media... (17th/18th/19th January)

Hellloooo everybody. Leigh here, updating you lovely bloggers about what's been going on in our Media lessons this week!

Most of our time this week, has been concentrated on getting our Preliminary Task done and dusted. We jointly took this decision, due to the ongoing issues with the school's Mac server (which is probably in a thousand pieces in a repair centre in Brazil or something due to the time its taking to fix) which mean we can't access the footage of our main film opening which we have uploaded so far. Fingers crossed it'll be back next week...

Good progress has been made over the 3 lessons we've had this week, with editing split between mainly Katy and Nick on Monday, and myself on Tuesday and Wednesday. We've shown various skills required in the preliminary task, included how to cross the 180 degree line correctly, shot reverse shot and action match. We reached a stage where it was totally finished in Wednesday's lesson, but due to a dreaded "Mac crash" we had to revert to the work completed during Tuesday's lesson. I'll probably put some extra time in during the next few days to avoid spending any more lesson time on it, as we were technically finished!

We were also intending to finishing filming on Monday, but couldn't. Why? Because the battery had less than 10 minutes left on it... and we (or should I say Katy) brought the wrong charger. Our excuse... we had a fire at school during Monday's lesson, and therefore we totally forgot to check the adapter was the right one!

The master plan is to finish filming tomorrow, and continue work on the main piece next Monday! Time will tell if we stick to that plan! ;)

Till next time blog fans...
