An Update

Right, our filming is all but finished. We've filmed a substantial amount of our performance scenes, so much so that it's finished. Our story, however, needs about 3/4 minutes more added, to it, so we have plenty to edit. We've yet to finish editing, due to our technical issues, but we're working hard to resolve this.

Problems and Solutions

As of now, we have only 2 minutes left to film.

Unfortunatly, we are unable to capture what footage we do have onto the media computers, despite our best efforts. We've tried using both premire pro and movie maker, but nothing's working. neither does saving it to a memory stick.

if we can't get it on later/tomorrow, we will be forced to capture it onto one of our home computers, which lack premiere pro. so it'll be movie maker.

Song lyrics- Standing in the Rain

So, these are the lyrics to the song we'tre using. Enjoy!

Girl...
I’ve got the feeling that there’s some else,
I guess I’ll be here all by myself;
Just standing in the rain.
Girl...
I’ve got the feeling that there’s someone new,
I don’t know why nor I don’t know who;
But I know I’ll feel the pain.
And I try, try and I try to understand,
And I cry, cry and I cry cos I’m only a man,
And I try, try and I try;
But look at the state I’m in.....
Oh Girl...
I’ve got the feeling that there’s some else,
I guess I’ll be here all by myself;
Just standing in the rain.
And I try, try and I try to understand,
And I cry, cry and I cry cos I’m only a man,
And I try, try and I try;
But look at the state I’m in.....
Oh Girl...
I’ve got the feeling that there’s someone new,
I don’t know why nor I don’t know who;
But I know I’ll feel the pain.
Oh girl….. I’m standing in the rain.
Oh girl…. I’m standing in the rain.
Oh my girl…..
I’m standing in the rain.

An update (amongst other things)

First of all I'd like to apologise to Anthony Begley. I did not mean to offend you in my last post. What was said was read in the wrong context.

Second of all, we've begun filming, and will no doubt be finished by wednesday, giving us 3 days to edit what we will have.

Due to time limits ect, we've had to change our idea. We will now shoot the video in a park rather than a beach, and the "fairground of distress" idea has no been transformed into a "house of sadness" concept, where the main protagonist comes home after being stood up, and watched some television, plays video games ect, while feeling quite sorry for himself.

What we've filmed so far includes an over the shoulder shot of the protagonist watching a happy moment on the television, and a close up of him getting ready to leave the house. Then, (guess what?), the camera died. we were going to film a section where the protagonist is waiting for someone.
