Diary-the making of our video

24/09/12:
We decided what video we where going to reconstruct and concluded on 30 seconds of Rihanna's 'We Founnd Love' from 1.16-1.46. Shortly after we produced a production plan of what props we would need and which locations we would be filming at too.

26/09/12-28/09/12:
Unfortunately we couldn't film during this time period because we were all not available to film the skate park scenes until Monday 1st October; so we continued to plan out our video.

1/10/12:
We collected our camera and headed to Beverley Leisure Centre to film the skate park scenes-taking around 2 hours to perfect each shot. Then we went to the take away to film (Pizza Fez near the skate park).this took us around 1 hour 30 minutes to shoot. We asked for their permission to use their tables and chairs, they were entirely willing to do so and this enabled us to replicate the video substantially and to a realistic tee.

2/10/12-5/10/12:
We used our study periods and lunch hours to carry on filming the scenes of Rihanna singing, with the over-head projecter used for interactive whiteboards for an effect similar to that used in Rihanna's original video. We used our time effectively to film the video, although, it became hard as the we found the lighting was darker than on the video. We tried different solutions to over come the problem but as we projected more light we lost the images behind on the screne, such as, the clouds, flowers and the corn. By the 4th of October we began to edit the shots we were happy with as we felt this would play to our advantage when the final deadline arose on the 8th and consequently we wouldn't be rushing.

8/10/12:
Deadline day! Finally we made a few adjustments to colour and contrast of the footage as well as zooming in on particular shots too. We rendered the project and had finished with time to spare.
