The Shoot

I recently successfully shot the majority of my production. It has been very difficult to organise the cast members, and on two occassions I have been ready to shoot, before being let down by one or more of those I was relying on. This has resulted in the delay of the shoot. Moreover, I have only shot the main scene from the initial plans, which I previously referred to as the main events - therefore, this doesn't include the fast-paced cut scenes I had previously planned. I may leave out these shots, or replace them with different shots; because of the difficulty of getting this main scene shot, I want to shoot the rest of the production in as little time as possible, meaning I shouldn't rely heavily on cast members, or other people involved. Nevertheless, it is now complete, and ready to edit. From here, I will create a rough cut, before getting feedback, and making improvements.

Music - Moby Gratis

In class, my Media teacher informed us of different websites where free music was available for download - with one of these being Mobygratis.com. This website, a section of the official Moby website, offers actual Moby music - including released and unreleased material - to students and amateur filmmakers, for free. I signed up to the service, and after spending a lot of time listening to almost every track available, I found a couple of excellent tracks for my own production; I contacted Moby via the Mobygratis site, and received official confirmation that I can use the tracks within my production. The tracks I downloaded and can use are 'Overlands' and 'Blue Paper'. Here is a print-screen of the confirmation email:
