As I have already stated we will be filming in the Farthinghoe area. So I went online and searched up any local groups of authority who could grant us permission to film in the area. After some searching I came across the Farthinghoe parish council page.
On the contact section of the site there is a list of members of the council and the email of the chairmen of the council -Ross van Geest.
As expected there were some complications and we were unable to film on the 11th. We have organised a new filming session on 16th of December on a wednesday.
Other students in our class encountered issues with their audio when reviewing their footage. For this reason we decided it would safe to takes some unrelated footage to test the boom microphones are working sufficiently and record in high quality. The footage we took was 100% unrelated to our film and was just a silly bit of fun to test with the microphone. I apologise in advance.
We took some footage similar to what we will take for our main film, we used me as the character as our desired cast were not available.
The first practise shot we took was test footage for our "double effect" in which Bridie would be talking to the alternate time version of herself. As you can see it was quite successful although there is a clear gap between the two and the contrast in colour, this will be easily adjusted in the final version.
The second effect we worked on was the time travel effect that pulsates from the character. In this example we decided to show it pulsating from the arm of the subject (Me) although the finished one will be more refined it still looks visually spectacular.
We did a similar effect to what we did on the arm on a face and gave it a more veined pulsating effect.
Another effect we practiced for our film is the time travel effect itself. We already decided the time travelling would be done from the human mind so we created an effect to make it appear as if the time travelling is done from within the brain and comes out from the eye.
