I have started editing Scene 4: The Fight Scene that I wrote the shot list for earlier in the project.
The process is quite simple and I have completed most of it. Tomorrow at school I will talk to the other girls in my group as we are all going to need to use the same sort of filters otherwise the different scenes will look too different and the music video won't flow well.
I have succeeded in placing some of the comic effects over the video and have created the Death Note style heart attack effect, but there are a couple of shots where I want to move the effect around the screen and am unsure how to do so.
Also one of the shots that I am trying to speed up is giving me problems as it keeps popping up with an error about the "trimming process."
I am going to ask Mr Andrews about how to do/fix these in our next lesson, and also begin to help Kay with editing in Final Cut as it is her first time using the program.

Filming: The Last Day
Yesterday was our last day of filming, and it went really well. We only had a couple of shots to film, and were done pretty quickly, so now we are ready to edit.
We filmed Matt's part of the first scene, the shot where we hide under the table and get our weapons from scene 3, a shot where the nerds are a united force in scene 4 and the moment when a zombie chases the nerds away from the night club scene 5.
We have decided that we will be editing the scenes that we wrote the shot list for(Shae: Scene 1&2, Hannah: scene 3, Julian: Scene 4, Kay: Scene 5 ). It looks like we will have our project completed by Friday and I am quite excited to see how it works out.

Our Storyboards
Here is some our groups storyboards.
They were drawn by our new group member Kay, with the help of Hannah.
Filming: Day Unknown
On Saturday my group got together and filmed a few more shots for the party scene and the first scene when there is no music playing and the nerds are playing World of Warcraft.
We faced a few problems, but were able to get through them.
Shae and I forgot to borrow out a camera during the week, so we used her dad's camera, which is a lot like the schools ones, but I am unsure about the quality and if it was on the right screen size.
Matt and Ethan were unable to come to filming, which brought up a few problems because there were a few shots that we wanted to film that had them in them.
We have set up a date to film next week, and will be filming the last shots that we need before the assignment is due.
It was still a productive day, and next lesson we will probably start editing.
May the odds be ever in our favour.

Filming: Day 3
Our third day of filming (Monday) went pretty well.
We filmed most of the shots that required only all of the nerds as we had a shorter time frame and also didn't bring any zombies. It was good, there is only a few more shots that need all of the nerds, but they require weapons and zombies, and we didn't have the light saber.

Filming: Day 2
Today's filming went really well! Even though we weren't able to film scenes that had Tayla in them as she had to leave early, so she just helped by being our lighting person. Minnie also came along, which gave us an extra zombie as Conor (Tayla's brother) was unable to come.
We filmed the scenes that had only Matt and zombies in them so now we have all of the single Nerd scenes out of the way. We also filmed a few shots of Zombies on the floor after an attack and a shot where Peta and I go for the same zombie without realising it before we are already there. We started filming shots from scene one where everyone is still human and is just dancing around in the party while the nerds walk in, and introduced Chemical X to the party.
Yes, it has been pointed out to us that Chemical X is what gave the Power Puff Girls their powers, but that's beside the point... This version could have been a part of the earlier trials of the product... but it makes the user harder to defeat, the only side effect being that it turns your skin green and you start to rot while you have a huge craving for brains.
Strangely Ethan does look more like a vampire who barely managed to avoid being decapitated, but he is the "head zombie" so he has to look different. (A.K.A, we made his eyes bleed before we realised he was supposed to be green so we just coloured his arms green.)
We filmed as much as we could before we all had to leave and now have all of scene 4 and most of the other scenes filmed. We will be filming on some weekends next term, as our zombies, and nerd, go to school on the other side of the G.C. and we may possibly be able to infect a few more zombies to try and get their turn at eating our nerds brains. which will make our party/club be more... party-ish.
Next, well this, term we will do a quick edit of the shots/scenes that we have and begin to play around with them, trying to add the effects that we are after for them.
So our owls will be sent out requesting the presence of our zombies when the time is right, and their flesh has rotted so much that we will no longer be able to identify them and may possible run and hide at the sight of them.
