After the confusion of who was in charge of syncing the audio we met to hand everything over.

We chatted about the filming process and how they thought everything went. They also gave us a scene to start adding foley too that didnt have dialouge yet.

A little while after this we received the full version of the film.

We met after the editing process to go through the film and to highlight any isses and to make changes.

After the first pass there was some confusion with the sound due to speaker issues. This caused a few problems between the group. I have spoken about this in another post.

After these were resolved we sat as a group and went through the film. We made a few dialougue changes but that was all. The media group signed off on the audio.

We met up after this to go through the final render and to export it.

 

Due to Easter, we did not have that many meetings this month.

We spoke to Dave about a small clip we had been given and about the Foley process.

There was some concern over when we would actually be getting the final version as the dialogue issue had pushed things back.

Dave spoke to us about planning around that and to try and get ahead of everything.

During this month we encountered a variety of problems with the media team which I have explained in other posts.

We met with Dave towards the end of the month to give our side of the story and to talk about how we solved the problem. At this time we also handed over the final version of the film which everyone involved was happy with.

As this month we were filming, we met with the group to talk about travel arrangments and equipment. They asked for a list of the equipment while shooting.

There was some confusion with equipment as they weren’t too sure what radio microphones were and this caused some issues.

After we had reassured them that they would be the best microphone for the shoot, they relaxed about it.

The rest of this month consisted mainly of the filming process.

Our first meeting this month was about some issues we were having with the group.

This was due to poor communication from the media team about what was needed from us. As filming for the first scenes in Home nightclub got closer, we found they cut dialogue, and we were no longer needed. This was quite frustrating as we had spent time setting equipment up for the shoot.

Joe and I during this period expressed that the poor communication could lead to further problems and that swapping projects may work out better.

Dave spoke about seeing what the media group were like on set to see if they were easier to work with. We went the Home shoot and recorded a good amount of material to use just in case.

The next few meetings were taken up by filming dates.

After filming had been finished, we spoke with Dave about the process and how it had gone from our point of view. Dave advised us on the next steps of the project in regards to editing and looking at getting a picture lock date.

Towards the end of the month, we encountered a lot of issues with syncing dialogue. This was due to us not knowing who was in charge of this aspect. We met with Phil Stevens the media groups tutor to go over the issue together.

This was quickly resolved.

 

We met with the media group to talk about the location and filming dates. They told us we were filming at Harlaxton Manor in Grantham and gave us a list of the dates.

They showed us the actors profiles and explained a bit more about the script and how they were planning to film parts.

We asked them if there were any particular audio sequences required so that we could begin planning them.

They were unsure at the time of what was needed but said they would let us know.
