Production Practice: Location Profile
05:52
Filming Anglican Cathedral...
The second task within our Production Practice module was to create another film, however this one is a location profile along with adding a time lapse to it too. Initially we were in the same groups as before, furthermore this was helpful as we all know one another now, we know what everyone is capable of whilst we also know how to work effectively with each other. Along with this we already had our Facebook message group with all the members of the group in, therefore we were organized before we had began the process.
We came up with the idea of filming the Anglican Cathedral situated in Liverpool, we thought that would be a appealing location which was not to far to be able to reach. Firstly we went to view the venue to see whether there were specific parts of the cathedral which would be effective within our film. Subsequently we thought there were lots of opportunities within the building therefore spoke to the manager explaining that we were Media students at Liverpool John Moores University and whether it would be possible if we could film the Cathedral.Furthermore the manager of the Cathedral was happy for us to film, however explained that it would need to be a specific day and time due to there being many bookings in the cathedral during specific days. It was important that we worked around the manager in order to make sure we could film the cathedral.
When working in teams we learnt from our previous experiences that all the group was turning up for filming when only two of the group were actually filming as there were too many members available. Therefore, we decided to split the filming over different days so that there were the right amount of people available for each filming whilst everyone will have some to do too. When we filmed the time lapse we located ourselves on a balcony at Liverpool John Moores' University- this gave us a great view of Liverpool along with a view of the Cathedral too. Along with this the filming took approximately five hours yet the camera only filmed five minutes of every hour, in order to get daytime and night time in the footage.
Editing...
Once we had all the footage we needed, our team then edited the footage within the editing suites within our University. We used avid in order to effectively cut, change the contrast and brightness, add sound along with making the film flow. Along with this we also used a member of our teams laptop to edit the sound, in order to make sure the sound mirrored to the picture in relation to timing.
