Finished video,....without sound that is!

This is our 'finished' video. I think it's really good, however I think we will probably be changing a few parts as we do the sound after watching it a few more times. I think that working in a trio has helped to produce a better video than someone working on their on as we benefit from having different opinions.

Hopefully tomorrow we will be able to finish all the clip editing and finally finish the film (without sound), obviously we will probably end up changing a few things to make it better having looked at it a few times to make sure that we are deffinately happy with it. We can then start getting our sound edited and placed with our film.

Raw Footage from Carol and Ally

These are two clips I filmed of my friend smiling, one is in black and white and one is in colour.


These are some more clips of my friend these are of her skipping towards and away from the camera.
I thought that these could be useful for the part in the video where things turn around and the thoughts lighten up.

................

This is another clip of 'blood' brown ink dripping down the side of an empty sink.

This is a film of me pretending to have a nose bleed. I used tomato puree and blackcurrent juice to make the blood.

A clip of me with fake blood coming out of my mouth, there is another clip after this which is of me pretending to cut my hand with a knife.

More clips

I filmed this clip of blood dripping in water using a negative effect on my mobile, I used the green ink for the blood as in negative gren looks red, but I think that the 'blood' looks a bit like fire and a mini explosion.

This is another film of 'blood' dripping in water, however this time I filmed it normally and used brown ink.

This is a clip of brown ink dripping down an empty sink.

Footage

These are 2 clips of a Mickey Mouse toy car I filmed, I think these could be useful to represent someone having random thoughts. We are always thinking of more than one thing at once and the things that we think of son't always make sense.

This clock could be used to reprersent the passing of time in our video, this was filmed by my mum whilst I attempted to wind the clock really fast.

Video Clips

These are some clips that I filmed of me writing, I thought these could be useful to express the persons thoughts instead of text in our video. I don't think that text would fit in of look probably and instead of having text I think this kind of writing will look better and more natural.

This is a clip I filmed of me blowing out a candle.

Success at last!

Today was finally a success, all the clips went onto the mac and we could start putting the video together. We have the first minute together and at this point it's looking really good. The plan for tomorrow is to collect some more clips and images for the next part of our video and we'll be back in on thursday to sort those out and crack on with the rest.

Footage from Youtube

A beating heart cell.

From axons to tracts: A journey through the brain's wiring.

These are some videos that I found on youtube which I thought might be useful for the parts in our video where we are supposed to be inside the brain/body.

This is a video of someone filming their eye which I found on youtube, they are concentrating on their pupil contracting and dilating, this is the effect I was trying to achieve with my clip.

This is a video of my eye where I was trying to achieve the same effect as the video above, the problem with mine is that when I zoomed in using my camera phone the video wasn't very clear.

Back to College...

So Ally, Carol and I went into college today to finally get started on putting are film together, we all brought our clips and photo's in that we had seperately collected, i brought mine on my memory stick and they uploaded onto the mac without any trouble. Allys clips were on her digi cam and they uploaded fine however something strange happened to her camera and she lost her stuff off it. We had the most trouble with Carols clips, hers were kept on her new camcorder(we tried to upload them straight from the camera), they were also on a dvd which she had burned at home, however neither would let us play the clips. We then decided that if we uploaded them from the camera onto a microsoft computer(in the library) burned the stuff onto a CDRW(bought from the college shop) would mean that we could change the format of the clips so that they would eventually work on the macs(the mac suite), for safe keeping we also downloaded the clips onto my memory stick just incase this might work. However none of this worked, eventually we gave up and called it a day, Carol will tonight resave the clips into a different format so that they will hopefully work on the macs tomorrow when we have another try.

These are some videos that I found on youtube of the matrix code, I thought that they would be a good representation of information of coding in the brain.

Video Ideas After Meeting With Carol and Allyson

Today the three of us all met to discuss our ideas, we all knew that we wanted to do something about the human body. To be more specific we are going to base it on the 'Mind's Eye' where we will be looking into effects on the body, thoughts, what people see, emotions, etc. Over the weekend we are going to collect images and clips of things that can be included in our video, we will then be meeting on Monday at college to start putting or video together.

Ally and I were supposed to be going to Carol's today to get our ideas together so that we could get started on our video, but Carol's still ill with the flu, so we're going to have to arrange another day when Carol's better.
