Below is a short video experiment Jess and I made during one of our lessons, we used the HD camera to get lots of short takes, we then used final cut express to manipulate the moving image. By cropping, layering and rendering different shots together we were able to create the motion that there is two or more of the same person! The first part of this video shows me in conversation and reacting to myself, to do this we shot one clip of me sitting to the left of the steps, kept the camera in exactly the same place and then i moved to the right and we shot another clip. We then put this together and edited on final cut. The clip at the end shows Jess 4 times in various positions on the steps, to do this we took many 3 second shots, each time changing place and then cut, cropped and layered them together via final cut. This method will be important in our final piece so we thought we'd get some practice before hand! It has certainly helped us gain experience and understand the software more! :)

Okay, so now for some photographs! Having decided on Aldeburgh as our beach/seaside location. Here are some photographs i've taken on my travels whilst being there!
Above are pictures of the controversial shell sculpture on the beach between Aldeburgh and Thorpeness, some people love it...others dont! But we do! This will become an important artistic feature towards the end of the video (all will be revealed in the storyboards which will be uploaded very soon!!)
Above is a photograph of a spiral staircase I saw along the beach and thought it looked very rustic and could work well for some of our shots, so therefore has been storyboarded into our video!
This is probably the most famous house in this small seaside town due to its tiny size! It stands alone overlooking the beach and is really rather quirky! Currently we don't know if we can use this building due to permission etc but I still thought i'd mention it because its awesome!
And finally, this was initially a framing composition idea, we all really liked it and have incorporated it into the chorus! :D
Anyway, i've just heard we can film in the Aldeburgh cinema on the 27th of this month!!!
we are over the moon about this :D whoopeeeeeee
thats all for now, byeeeee. xx
