Filming day 2 February 17; 1pm - 1:30pm

I recorded the voice over of Danny explaining what the box is as Ryan was unable to attend. I have improvised due to lack of time and not being able to book out a camera again.

Update; I decided not to use Danny's voice over as I felt that it gave too much of the narrative away and would therefore spoil the story for the target audience.

Time management;

Both filming days were a success as I thought it would take a lot more time in filming day 1 due to moving the LED lighting systems around the house for the individual shots. I am on time with my overall project as I have filmed everything I needed during February half term. I have completed my film poster, it is subject to a little bit of change but nothing major. I spent two days after half term after college on the first week back which consisted of a hour one day and a hour and a half. This consisted of organising, naming clips and a fair bit of editing. As a result I managed to produce a 30 second draft. After spending another week of editing after college hours I managed to get 1 minute and 30 seconds edited. I am contemplating on using this draft as a sneak peak mini trailer for my website.

Update; By the 7th of March I produced a second draft. So it took me 18 days editing as we came back on the 18th of February after half term. I did not immediately upload the drafts on my blog as I just wanted to continuously produce drafts of my trailer so I had a lot of footage on my blog. By the 14th, I uploaded my second draft and uploaded a third and fourth draft on the 15th of March (they were uploaded at the same time because I forgot to upload due to working on ancillary texts.)  I was concious that the deadline for my main products was the 22th of March.
