10/09/12 Today we discussed as a group the areas where we
were filming and arranged a time and day to film. We
arranged Wednesday the 12th. We have checked over
our script and storyboards and have made sure we are
fully prepared and know exactly what we’re doing.
We’re going to try and practice before we go out to film
properly.
11/09/12 Today we had a meeting discussing when we can all
film and decided we had to change the filming day to
Saturday as that was the only day we could all make it.
We also discussed times and meeting places. Our
locations will be Monton and Farnworth in Bolton.
13/09/12 We worked in Adobe Premier Pro to set up my project
with two files ready for when it comes to us editing.
One in HD and one In standard definition. We did this
as we’d have the choice of both when it comes to
editing as we haven’t yet decided what we’re going to
shoot in. I then saved both files to my computer and
put them both in the same folder.
17/09/12 Me, Emily and Becky went out near college today to
get some practice of working the camera and what
scenes would look like. We practised scene 1. Looking
over the shots we filmed, the lighting wasn’t very good
as we couldn’t see Emily’s face. I think it’s good we
went out to practice as we wouldn’t have known if we’d
just gone out to film the actual scene.
18/09/12 Today during our break we went into Monton to film the
first scene. We encountered several problems while
filming in Monton due to it being a busy place and
people walking in front of the camera and buses
stopping and being in our shot. We shot five takes.
20/09/12 We’re just opening our shots in Adobe Premier and
viewing them. After looking through them, because of
the problems we had with the road being really busy
we can only use one of the five shots as that’s the only
one where there’s nobody else other than Emily in the
shot. We’ve discussed when we’re next going to film
and decided Friday 28th is the only day we can all film.
We plan to go to Bolton on the day so we can get a full
day of filming done.
24/09/12 Today we spoke about our second day of filming and
come to the conclusion that Sunday is a possible day
we can film as that’s the only day we are all free. We
plan on spending the entire day filming. Half of the day
in Monton and then the other half in Bolton. We have
had to change an actor as Jordan isn’t available
anymore. James will be taking his place. This will be
easier in the long run as James is in our class.
25/09/12 Today we uploaded the production meeting onto
Blogger and then I started on my opening titles for my
short film. I decided on a picture of a type of a crystal
ball and then a clown holding it up because I wanted to
add a funny factor to it because our theme for the film

is slapstick comedy.
01/10/12 Today we decided we’re going to change the location
as it’s too much hassle getting there as it’s quite far
away. We’re going to spend all of tomorrow filming and
hopefully get the majority of the filming done.
Tomorrow our location will be three sisters, Winton
park and Monton.
02/10/12 Today we filmed in Monton. We filmed the first scene
and did several takes for each. We used props such as
bow ties and a rose. We decided not to film going in
the florists as it wasn’t really necessary. We will next
film on Sunday and film at the three sisters (lake) and
at Winton Park as we couldn’t film at the three sisters
and the park today because of the bad weather.
4/10/12 Today I carried on creating an opening title for our film.
I then looked over our footage and opened it up in our
HD project on Adobe Premiere.
8/10/12 Today me and Emily decided our group will film
tomorrow and booked a camera and tripod ready for
tomorrow. Tomorrow we’ll re-do the first scene as
because of the bad weather it affected the quality of
the shots a little bit. We’ll then move onto Winton Park
and then The Three Sisters last as Nick and Mark will
have to get in the water.
9/10/12 Today I Becky, Emily and Mark filmed in Monton. Nick
was off so we just filmed the scenes Mark and Emily
were in. We re-shot marks reaction to seeing Emily
and Nick holding hands across the road and him
running to the flower shop. Over all it was a good day
filming as we shot from many different angles so we
have a good variety of shots to choose from when it
comes to editing.
11/10/12 Today we looked over the shots we filmed on Tuesday
and renamed them and then moved them to the
appropriate folders.
15/10/12 Today I started to edit the shots of Mark we filmed the
other day. We have decided that we’ll film tomorrow
during our break.
16/10/12 Today I carried on editing. I also made a start on the
opening and end titles for the film on Illustrator. We
have changed the filming day to Thursday as we’ll
have more time.
18/10/12 Today I stayed in class and carried on with editing
while the rest of the group minus Nick went out to film.
Today we planned to reshoot the first scene where
Nick and Emily are walking hand in hand. Obviously as
Nick’s off they’ll have to film any scenes they can that
don’t include Nick.
23/10/12 Today we went out to film but I had to go home as I
wasn’t well. My group carried on filming and filmed up
to the lake scene. The lake scene will be done after
half term. That is the last scene we have to film.

25/10/12 Today we looked over the footage that was shot on
Monday and imported the shots into Premier. I then
looked over them and started to make a rough copy of
our film.
6/11/12 Today I looked over my edit and finished bits off. We
then discussed filming for an entire day to finish
everything off and do retakes. I then uploaded my
rough final edit of my film to YouTube and wrote a
summary of how I did things.
08/11/12 Today I uploaded my rough film edit to Blogger and
finished the summary.
12/11/12 Today I added the two pictures of Emily and Becky
acting and directing to my filming diary and wrote
about them along with the two location pictures. We
have decided to film tomorrow however Becky and
Mark won’t be present.
13/11/12 Today I carried on with the picture diary.
19/11/12 Today I uploaded my picture diary to my blog and
booked a camera and tripod out to film for tomorrow.
27/11/12 Today I looked for music for my film and found a
Charlie Chaplin theme one called Circus. However I
encountered problems when I went to convert the
YouTube video to mp3 as it wouldn’t work so I have to
find another website to convert the video to mp3.
11/12/12 Today I finished my final film edit on Premier and was
ready to import my music and open my film up on
Adobe After Effects.
12/12/12 I had to get help to import my music as the file I had
downloaded it with was unresponsive. After this was
solved I opened my work into Adobe After Effects and
started working with certain effects.
13/12/12 I finished my final film edit today and then opened my
film back up into Premier so I could sort the music out.
I then started my evaluation listing what I feel could
have been done better and what I feel are the
strongest points of my film.
17/12/12 Today I had to re-open my film in Premier and render it
again as the music wouldn’t play when I watched the
film back.
18/12/12 After re-opening my film in Premier I had to open it in
After Effects and re render it. The film is now complete
and on my YouTube and Blogger account. I also
finished off my evaluation today.
