It looks like we have finally finished!
We wrote and recorded our evaluation last week, finished editing our album cover designs and finally edited our recorded evaluation on to stills and clips from our entire project. After printing the pictures out and burning the evaluation and project onto disks, we can officially say.... FINITO!!
And so from the T, the D and the C... Torin, Daniel and Chris are saying goodbye to A Level Media Studies.
TDC Productions Out!

Final Shooting Day!
Monday 22nd February 2010.
Location:
- Emma's apartment in Botanic Avenue.
- Prince Edward Street in Stranmillis.
Props Brought:
- Guitar
- 1 large mirror and 2 small mirrors.
- Hooded Figure costumes.
- Camera
- Tripod.
What we used:
- Guitar
- Shoulderbag
- 4 mirrors
- Camera
- Tripod
- Lipstick
- Candles
Problems:
- We had to find an actor to play the black hooded figure that day.
Solution - Emma's sister Amy volunteered and did really well.
- The candles we used on the first day were mostly burned out, making continuity hard.
Solution - We salvaged what working candles we could and made up for what was burned out with tactical camera angles.
- We wanted to get a POV shot from the make-up's perspective with the candle in front of it but couldn't get the camera that low.
Solution - Torin held the candle up while Emma filmed it!
- We had to brainstorm on what angles we were going to do for the defacing of the mirror so the message wasn't seen.
Solution - We placed see-through plastic paper in front of the camera and wrote on it to give the impression of a POV from the mirror's perspective.
- In a shot with Emma coming up the stairs, Torin's (AKA the white hooded guy's) dark trousers would have been seen.
Solution - We had him kneel down for the shot!
- We had a hard time thinking of a well-lit yet semi-empty street to use for the walking street shots.
Solution - We drove to Prince Edward Street in Stranmillis where Emma and Amy's mum lives.
- During the walking street shots, cars kept coming past.
Solution - We had to shoot quickly and time it right.
What we accomplished:
- The street 'walking' scenes with the girl and both the hooded figures.
- Conclusion where the girl sees sense and returns to apartment to her bf followed by white hooded figure.
- Scenes with hooded figures with boyfriend in apartment, including where he defaces the mirror.
- Ending where girl returns home followed by white hooded figure to see the message on the mirror.
- Where guy is on street followed by black hooded figure.
What we still need to do:
- Nothing, Finito!!
