Filming and editing Shisha.

We recorded the VoiceOver Wednesday afternoon in the radio booth as it is completely sound proof. We did a couple of takes and opened them in adobe audition. We cut out all the pauses and any other unwanted sounds. We added EFFECT to make it sound older, we also added a crackle to the voice over.

We started filming at 12 on Thursday. We filmed in it chronological order, except for the shot of the clock, which we did when everyone went for lunch. We started with a wide shot of the room showing all the students sat around the room. We then filmed the main piece, a medium shot of Jordan, acting as Sally. While filming, James read though the script so that the reactions were in time with the voiceover. Unfortunately this didn't seem to work. I think James read it at a different speed unintentionally. so when we got to the edit, it didn't fit together as well as we wanted. So we had to cut the footage and think of a way to cover it. We decided to have a shot of a scientist infront of a whiteboard with a diagram of a shisha pipe. For some unknown reason the science department in college don't use lab coats. So instead we covered it with a time lapse of me drawing a Shisha pipe.

In the end it looked good. I don't know if it has been worth all the work. But it's done now.
