Last bit of editing ....

We finally have the last bits of editing together after piecing all of the different shots from different scenes in all that is left to do now is get the still images of the film done for the transitions for each new scene. We are going to have these still images as that transitions to make it look like someone is reading a comic book this can easily be done and will help make our video have more of a superhero theme to it as it is shown scene by scene in the video. Now all that is left to do is to evaluate the video.

More inspiration!



This video inspired us with the idea of doing the superhero idea for our video and this is sort of how we would like to either look like or have parts of it which are similar.

Last bit of filming

We done our last bit of filming now meaning we only have all of the editing left to do in which we will have done soon as weve edited most of the shots we have already filmed. We now just need to to do still imges of the film to stick in as transitions in the editing to make it have a comic book effect.

Superhero training scene

We went out and filmed a scene of the superhero training to be a real-good superhero. In this scene we used a stunt double for Andrew so that we was able to make the stunts look more realistic. We was in a park which had various apparatus in which the stunt double performed various flips as Andrew was unable to do it and would have been to dangerous to attempt it. We then cut them in with shots of Andrew. If we edit it correctly then it would make the shots look like the same person other than two different ones.

Filming up London

We had a shot of Andrew standing on the corner of ledge in which it helped to make him look more like a real superhero. We originally was going to film on top of a building which would have an overlook so we that we would have a good city view, we was unable to do this as the place we was going to do it which was the National Theatre Gallery was too busy so we was unable to do that. We went on looking elsewhere for another location so that we could get the scene done in which eventually we found a wide ledge which Andrew stood on the corner, which was quite high up from the ground we then had the camera at the bottom getting a low shot looking up to make him look like a real superhero. The ledge was wide enough so that it was ok to stand on making sure that he wouldnt fall Danny also stood behind Andrew just to make sure it was safer for Andrew. The shot was successfull and we got what was needed so Andrew was able to get down safely without having been hurt. There were also many tourist and members of the public taking pictures and pointing as if Andrew was a real superhero.

Costume sorted

We have finally sorted out the costume and what it is that he will be wearing. We have come up with that he will be wearing a black costume and a small black mask/ sunglasses over my face. We also have red gloves and cape to stop the costume appearing dull. Now all that is left to do is film the last few shots.

More filming

We done more filming today, we filmed Andrew drawing pictures of costume ideas so that he can wear to show his a unique superheroe and that he is one of kind which ties in with our lyrics. Below shows the spiderman montage which we see him thinking of a costume design to make himself a one of a kind superheroe.



We done various shots of the costume designs making sure we had alot of different ones so we were able to show that the superheroe was making sure that the costume he picked would make him stand out from other superheroes.

Filming another scene

I wasn't in on the day of the filming that was done for this certain scene but I was told what was done. The filming was done in a biology lab when it was free to start filming the opening scenes. He got all costumed up for the scene. We also then got formulas from the internet which were wrote on the whiteboard making it look like he is making a secret formula for something. Different equipment was set up. The test tubes were then filled up with different drinks to make them look like potions. We then filmed him carrying out experiments with the formula. The test tubes were then mixed together and drunk which give him super-powers. We now need a scene of him thinking of different costume ideas after gaining the super-powers. We already have the costume and once done it all we will begin editing it all together.

Ideas for a scene

We have come up with the idea of a geek in a lab is working out a formula to give him super powers which will fit in with the lyrics when it says “Hes a super hero”.



We are also deciding to have different colour drinks which will represent the different potions that has been created from the formulas. This will require many different props such as a lab coat, goggles, a whiteboard and some testtubes to make the scene work.

Test editing

Here is the video of us puting someones eyes and mouth on to a piece of fruit in which we had them say something so that we could use the speech to make sure the mouth was always going to be on the fruit in this case the passion fruit. We hope to use this idea in our film with the person on the fruit singing some of the lyrics from our song instead of just someone speaking. There were a few issues with the eyes and mouth on the fruit is that it moved of the fruit sometimes so when we do it next time round we will need them to be perfectly still and just singing some of the lyrics so that the eyes and mouth are always on the fruit.
