. On day 1 my group started making a film which is called Moving On. At first, we took few shots for the beginning including a long shot and an over shoulder shot. Before filming, a funny thing happened: Alex's high-heel was stuck in the drain-pipe; however, it was a good start!!! On day 2 we took a long shot of Alex and Sufi walking on the street with an umbrella, and then we decided to take a close shot of Alex's face when she was crossing the road. After that we thought it might be better to shoot on other street but that didn't work because the street was too busy. On day 3 we have not done anything because we were looking at the things we had shot from day 1 and day 2 then we found a big problem which was that the colour of the shots we had taken was not well balanced or adjusted with each other so we decided to shoot on day 4 again. On day 4 we went to Andy's flat to shoot our film. We had taken a close up for a key when Alex was using it to open the door and we also have done an action match when the door opened. After that we did another close up for Alex's shoes, then we did another action match for another door after few shots we were half way through then we had a break. After the break we took the last shot for the flat part, we did a middle shot for Alex's face when she was crying and a close up of an IPod. On day 5 we did not film anything, we imported everything we did for these days in computer then we settled every clip then put them together, after that we watched the whole thing through. We thought that what we had done so far was fine, but Charlie said we needed more close ups for faces because of the importance of close ups in a film. So we decided to make more close ups next time. On day 6 we started to shoot the office part of the film. We thanked Sufi's father for letting film the office. At the beginning we shot from a window then moved the camera to shoot Alex, for this shot we wanted the atmosphere to feel like in a office, so we made some sounds such as a phone ringing noise from keyboard and that worked very well. After that we did an action match for a door when Alex was walking into the boss's office .Then we had almost finished our film opening. On day 7, we put all the clips together and did all the cuts we had to but we still needed more close ups so we made a few more. On day 8 and 9 we finished all the parts we had to film so then we needed to do the rain drop for our opening. On day 8 we did other close up for Alex's eye when she was looking at the mirror then we took some shots of the rain drops. We faked the rain by water and used cups to pour away the water because we wanted the rain drop on the ground and splash then we tried in the photograph room but that did not work well. After that we tried outside of the room. But still didn't work as well as we expected. Anyway we could not do any better than that so we decided to go over what we had done so far next time.
on day 9 we did some shots for the rain drop from the cloud . so we used mirror to shot with but that didn't work becasue when we replays these shots it is hard to tell is a rain drop from the cloud and an other problem is the cloud is keep move by the wind so we gave up .

On day 10 we still try to make the rain dry but we changed the way which is we use photoshpo to do it , we take some water droping photos frist then when put on photoshop after this we copy a lots of water droping put on a cloud picture then we use many some pictures to make a cilp then we can have a rain drop from the cloud . I dont konw if it works because we spray the team. I'm work on the story board and the titles .
On day 11 we filmed the story board the I use Imoive made it to a animatic with music and transition on ,which takes me a hour to do it .by making the animatic i discoverd a transition which you can push your shots with it you can push to all the directions.
On day 12 we was working on the titles . and we had a lots of equipment problem so we did not made many titles however we sovled a problem which is annoying of all the media student. which is when we added a title we can't delete it . but yestday I found out we just need press the blacspeas. it was funny!
