Daily Editing Log
Day One
First, our group put the cassette inside the video camera (Canon XM2 DV). After we got a fire wire lead. Next we switched on the i Mac and linked the fire wire cable to the computer, logging on to the 'AS Media' area and opened Final Cut Express 4. Soon after, capturing a range of shots on the i Macs, reviewing what we have done, we choose the best establishing shot we recorded and cut a specific section from the clip so we start off with continuity editing, dragging it down towards the time-line.
Day Two
We cut and pasted all the pieces we recorded and put them in order, editing certain scenes. After wards Keith selected a instrumental to go with the theme of the video we were trying to create. Keith put in the right sequences and frames. time-line what could go in sync with our 1st idea of the instrumental and edited after school.
Day Three
We made a group decision to not go with the instrumental and change it, to make the mood in the opening sequence feel verisimilitude to the people that are watching it. We didn't have a lot to put together on the i Macs, so we decided to make do and leave time-spaced gaps which will be filled in later on, when we got the footage we needed.
Day Four
After capturing the footage we got, we arranged the order of sequences we had on the time line, and took out all the unnecessary parts that were not needed. We decided to make effects with the beginning by making the instrumental go in tune with the video by adding jump cuts here and there
Day Five
We used Livetype 2.0 to do the titles and credits and inserted them in the begging and the ending of our film trailer. Afterwards we changed the brightness of certain scenes and adjusted them.
Day Six
The dialouge we recorded for Igor's scene was put in as it was needed int he middle of our film sequence. We cut and pasted the parts of the audio Keith recorded at his house.
Day Seven
The final pieces of our work was put together as crossfades were put in on the instrumental, and background noise was sorted, we uploaded them on the blog, and the final product onto the desktop and converted the files of our preliminary, storyboard and final sequence onto the desktop

Filming Diary
Day One Of Filming
First, our group put the cassete inside the video camera (Canon XM2 DV). After we got a firewire lead. Next we switched on the iMac and linked the firewire cable to the computer, logging on to the 'AS Media' area and opened Final Cut Express 4. Soon after, capturing a range of shots on the iMacs, reviewing what we have done, we choose the best establishing shot we recorded and cutted a specific section from the clip so we start off with continuity editing, dragging it down towards the timeline.
Day Two of Filming
It looked like our group did not have enough footage that would last for a very long time, so on saturday we all headed towards a bridge in north west london, with an urban enviroment around the bridge. With that in mind we got shots of police cars, a street light at dark, and buses to give the people watching the film that we are in the deprived areas of london.
Day Three Of Filming
We still needed shots of the main character so Keith set up a filming date with Igor to film his scenes in the phonebooth at dusk receiving a terrible phone call.
Day Four Of Filming
The last scene needed to be filmed so Keith, Igor, Rejaul & Shihab set up the final scene in Shihab's estate. We filmed the scene of Igor & Rejaul meeting up after a lift scene and shihab coming down the stairs. After they hunt down Rejaul and close up shots are used. Also extreme close ups are used when Rejaul is on the phone. The sequence ends when we get the camera from Rejauls point of view and the it ends with a bang as the props used go towards the camera

Logo
The Logo represents our film company and the type of urban films we are willing to distribute with the police line and the urban blocks which show us that we focus on the more dangerous parts of London and a sense of verisimilitude is created. It represents us because we as a production group grew up in a multi-cultural society and around us two faced people always occur, its a way of basic living in urban London
