Production Log 6

What have been the key issues for your production this week?

This week during production Zahra and myself encountered a few problems when filming out first shot as you can see in the video above what we were aiming to do was create a smooth track because we didn't want to do it the handheld way we though to use a trolley but we had some difficulties on trying to attach the camera to the trolley on what positioning we wanted. Also when filming for the first time when watching it back we noticed that it was very shaky so to counter the shaking we decided to have someone sit in the trolley to weigh it down to make the shaking stop.

We also started to create graphics this week and we picked our initial font from dafont.com, the font we choose suits our opening sequence very well and is very versatile. We started to use a new program for this called LiveType, this program being very different from what we are used to using came across as hard to use at first and then we got use to and realized it is much better than other programs we have used before such as fireworks because it allows you to do so much more with it and you are barely restricted.

What decisions did you make about the issues and why?

When creating the track as you can see above we decided to move the position because firstly we were having trouble attaching it to the trolley but this location on the trolley was better because it was closer to the ground and that it what we wanted the shot to be. By doing this it allowed us to get a more precise shot of someones feet walking and is easier to follow someone feet filming if they are in line with something, so putting it on the top makes it easier for them to follow.
