Progress Update

Wednesday, 21st March 2012
The group and I felt that today was a very productive lesson - we were able to finish the scene in the library, start and finish the scene in the lab and we just have a couple more shots to film, so we are very much on schedule - as it gives us a few hours to edit the material. Charlie and I also resumed editing what we have already and now have a rough copy of the film.


While filming the scene in the lab, we managed to get a science technician to make some dry-ice which gives the scene a much more realistic feel. We also managed to film our time-lapse scene - which shows the scientist working on his theory - by slowly panning over the area and then fast-forwarding in the editing process. Once we really start editing, we will tidy it up and it should look very convincing.


We also filmed the scientist leaving the lab, by tracking him as he walked out before the camera goes past him, assuming the role of a POV shot, and then looking at the sky - where the film title will appear.


We also have managed to produce a rough copy of the film by putting the clips we have so far in order. We still have some shots to film and the editing needs precision and tidying up, but we do have a rough copy so we know vaguely what the final copy will look like.
