We planned to film the rest of the indoor and outdoor shots at Jake’s house however, my luck did not seem to be on my side because two days before shooting I managed to fall off my not-so-trustworthy pink moped, consequently, leaving me with a fractured nose and a face looking rather black and blue. Despite this, filming carried on minus me but not everything went to plan and we were lacking actors and actresses so we scheduled to refilm it the following weekend when everyone could actually attend. The wedding cake had already been wonderfully made by Evie and had been devoured the previous week and so this was about the only piece of filming that we would be using prior to our third stint of filming. Everything went to plan with Ben’s parents playing a bridesmaid and the bride’s father, Jake’s mum as the mother of the bride, myself as the bride (“oh dear!”) and Evie, Ben and Bill as extras within the shots with Jake being in charge of the camera. We all pitched in as Director and Producer.
All in all, we managed to complete the rest of the task in that one day and then used Jake’s microphone and Mac Laptop software to overdub the dialogue and sound for the outdoor scene with Phil and the voiceover telephone messages.
We were pleased with what we had managed to achieve given that we had a non-existent budget and had to rely on our personal resources for props and costume.
We then used the remaining week of Media Studies lessons and free-periods to edit our piece together using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 which we all worked together on as a group rather than making two different copies from which we would choose the best. Bill and Evie were also given the task of making the title sequence for ‘The Hangover’ and establishing the background music of the film opening.
Everything seemed to be going extremely well and it was only too obvious that something needed to go wrong and so for an unknown reason, we managed to lose all of our audio from our final cutting which then required some time to rectify the error by having to cut the clips again in order to establish what we had already achieved.
THE FINAL PIECE:
