This lesson, Alicia was also absent. She was at morning tea and we planned out the lesson, but come sixth period she did not turn up. The original plan was for Miranda and I to complete the filming and for Alicia to work on the sound, but this was changed as Alicia was not there.



We originally thought that we would end with the same scence as we started with and the idea was to just take the begininng and paste it into the end. We decided though,m that we wanted Bones to be starting his dance and we wanted the host to come on stage, stop him and talk to the audience about the next episode of 'Dance and Die'. This required filming as this hd not been shot before. Although this was a more diffivult plan, we decided that it would work better and make the end product look better as it will be different. We filmed this ending this lesson, although we experienced both computer and camera troubles.


The laptop that I had checked out from the library was signed into windows and this could not be fixed by us. However, it was only aftr wasting fifteen minutes trying to fix it that we realised it, so I went to the library to hand it in to the librarian and borrow out a different laptop. When I returned from the library, Miranda and I discovered that the Camera we had borrowed out did not have a cable to attatch it to the computer, so Miranda went to track down the missing cord. When she returned we were finally ready to start filming, with only a little over fifteen minutes left of the lesson. Although we were rushed or time, we still managed to film the ending and have now completely finished filming which is a relief.

As I am leaving early on Thursday (12pm), and I will miss Thursdays lesson which is the final submission date for our film, as previously blogged. I am missing the lesson for a make up math test which means I will not be there for anymore creative media lessons where we will be working on this task. As it is a group task, Miranda and Alicia will still be able to work on the assignment, but I will have to catch up. Although I will not be there on the submission date, I still feel like I have contributed well to the assignment andf I don't think the time away has affcted me.
