Production log 8

This week was a more productivity week then before. The main problem we are having in post production is sharing the mac with the other students in our year , because last week me and my partner wasn't in for most days we needed to catch up so we asked the students if we could use it more this week as they where ahead , however they still needed to do a lot more so their was some conflict with the mac. We filmed most of our production just need to sort out a few shots so they look correct , and so we can fill the whole 2 minutes as the shorts we planed in pr-production only took up 1 minute 40. Me and my partner both learned how to use live-type this week. It was a very easy to use and was very effective. we both came up with the title 'Fast life' for our production as most drug dealers or people which are in gangs die when their at a young age and people who are in poverty and have to struggle normal grow up much faster then anyone else as they mature faster because they have to help their family members. live type was very easy to use as i had use such software before like Photoshop and fireworks to produce fonts and typography. i went for a very simple font for the typography because when i analysed other british social realism credits they didn't have big  fancy typography. It was simple and bold so the audience could easily read them but it wouldn't interfere with the opening scene. We also realized that we needed much more credits then we thought as the gaps in between the credits where too long and it didn't keep up with the pace of the film. This week i have improved my skills with the camera as well , it was much easy to setup the camera and get filming as before it would take me and my partner at least 10 minutes to get started which was wasting our time. We also got our friends to be in our production ,they already knew the location and time where to meet because we planned it before , this made setting up very fast and we was able to film it without any problems. we also got a message from are artist 'sqeeks' saying that we are able to use his music which was good information to hear as we didn't really think about anyone else's music which would represent our opening scene any better.
