Film

OKAY... so the film... pretty much the odds have been against me on this one! It was originally scheduled for Friday 22nd Jan, but the film student I was using had to reschedule for tuesday 26th and then again for thursday 28th, due to his own massive workload for his FMP... when he then told me he couldn't do the 28th, we decided that the best thing to do would be to hire a handicam and for myself and a few others to film it ourselves, and then for john, the film student to edit it afterwards. The dress burning looked fantastic and I was really happy with the result, but for some reason the camera then wiped what footage we had filmed. Trying not to panic, I rushed home to get another dress that I could use. It was nowhere near as good as the first one, but I really wanted to get the footage and have a film to produce. I then had to rush home over friday and saturday as my uncle had gone into hospital, which left sunday to edit the film. We then spent all day sunday and monday trying to upload the video footage, but the SD card is "unreadable", even though the footage shows in the camera playback screen.

I am so frustrated by the fact that the film didn't work out, but it has been a good learning curve, in that I may have been able to arrange something if I had chosen a different film student the first time john had to postpone, and had hired out a better camera through them.
