Production/Post diary 22nd -27th April
22.04.14: - Tuesday and I have returned from Leeds after a very relaxing 10 day break. I left for the easter holidays feeling drained yet satisfied at the amount of work I had done. Now I feel fully refreshed ready to pick up the pieces where I left off. I am however, slightly behind my schedule for FMP. This is partly due to the fact that the homeless couple I arranged to meet up with did not show up on the 10th of April. One of my main priorities this week is to arrange a second date to start filming with Jennifer and Kev; it is imperative that I find them for they are the centre of the documentary.
23.04.14: - Wednesday and the week feels like it's slipping away from me already. I went into college early this morning to begin shifting through all my footage from before easter. This job could have easily been done over easter, in fact it would have been a lot easier since the footage would have still been fresh in my mind. Be that as it may I dedicated my 10 day easter break to catch up on PPP work, such as creating the animated logo and grading the Dialogue exhibition. Despite the fact that the end result looked great; it took me 3 days to complete the online edit for a 1 minute 30 second video. This filled me with concern in regards to the gigantic post production process I now faced for FMP. Although I feel that I have accomplished a lot in a relatively short amount of time; I still have a long way to go!
I spent the whole day till 6pm piecing together what clips I had from the interviews before easter. Re-arranging audio from the external sound recorder I used, synching it up to the image track.

26.04.14: Friday - Today I have arranged interview with Andrew Omond from St George's Crypt. Andrew is the PR manager for the Crypt. We have had an interview pre arranged before easter, unfortunately he had to re-arrange due to a previous engagement. I went into college early this morning to continue splicing up clips from the 'Left Overs' clips. At 2.40 I made my way down to the Crypt where I met Andrew. He showed me into a private conference room where we conducted the interview, which went very smoothly. However, since I was the only person there I could not look over the image display whilst interviewing Andrew. Who's body language demonstrated to me that he was shy due to him facing away from the camera more and more as the interview went. In hindsight as I look over the footage, the camera position has not captured Andrews face as well as I had hoped. The end result is a side on portrait of the interviewer that looks a little odd.
On the brighter side the audio content of the interview was good. Now it's time to spend the weekend shifting through my footage.
