Movie Diary

My group, made up of Vanessa, Kristen and Lochlan and I, remade a scene out of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The first movie of the most amazing series ever. We chose to do this scene because Ness and I are completely OBsessesd with Harry Potter and this scene is the introductory scene to the main characters. We also chose it because it had four characters and we had four actors. Lochy also really wanted to play a woman. Hence the 'trolley lady.' We had a lot of fun filming and deciding on costumes. Ron's wig is not at all realistic but i think it adds to the absurdity to it all. I found a HP robe in an op shop a few months ago so that came in handy playing Hermione. We decided to film in the library because it's large and we could simulate a train carriage. We filmed next to a window but the scenery doesn't move as it would on a train... Lochy and i were the only people to film, the other girls were in each scene. I filmed the first half while Lochy was on the camera and he filmed the second half. There are a few things that we noticed during editing that we didn't realise while filming, like Vanessa still had her nose ring in, Scabbers was visible in a few shots when he wasn't meant to be and Ness' fixed glasses were in shots.

I did all of the editing but I really really enjoyed it. It didn't take much time to figure out what to do and when i got started I was on a roll.

I had a lot of fun filming and editing this movie.
