The videos we watched during our 8th class were very useful for our next video, but I need to watch more conversations in movies in order to understand how we should shot it
I think it's much more easier to watch them than to shot it yourself.
It is not easy to find out a story and at the same time find characters that fit into it.
Although now we have a little experience with videos, I think shooting this one will be much more difficult - because the story has to be exciting and we should record the voice in a good quality.

7th class
Unfortunately we realized, that our video was not long enough, so we decided to make a new one. We met and had some new ideas, which were better than the first one.
We shot on the next Friday in the Bory Castle, and it worked out pretty well.
The castle was a perfect spot for the video. The shots were long enough and everything clicked. Or at least we believed so.
On Saturday and Sunday we edited the video, but unfortunately the time was not long enough, and working with the software seriously for the first time was not the easiest. We could not find the music on the flash drive Lili chose for the video.
But anyway we made it and in the 7th class we watched it together with the other group's videos.
It was useful to see our errors. There were too long shots, that would have required to be cut, and I think we should have put more action into the video. Although this was our first try, and anyway I liked the result.

6th class
During our 6th class I began discussing with Lili the possible locations and actors for our video.
I have to say that it was not easy to work this out.
With the location there was no problem, we selected the ground floor of the school, which was a really good place for our planned scary video.
On Saturday we started shooting, and we shot the video in about 2-3 hours. We tried to follow the story board but we had to realize, that some things just could not be carried out.
So sometimes we had to find new solutions.
One big mistake was, that we did not check how long the scenes are, or how much material we have.

5th class
For the 5th video production class I drew a storyboard, which was supposed to be the basis of our music video, but I think we should make it more scary, with different angles and lightning.
We did not begin the shooting yet, only looked at the place where we would like to shoot the whole video. We have one "actress" already, but we still need someone else - playing the cleaning lady. I think we should make her figure blurry somehow and achieve a mysterious and frightening shape.
If everything will work out well, we are going to shoot on Saturday and we plan to finish it on this day. So the next week we "only" have to cut it, plus add the necessary special effects to make the whole video more frightening.

4th class
For our 4th class Lili and I have worked out 2 plans for the music video, which were quite different and it was not an easy task to choose between them.
In our assignemnt (shooting a short video) I started to work in a group with Ádám and Gergő, but it turned out that there is not enough task for everyone. So I decided to shoot a video on my own. The purpose of this task was to create matching videos - concentrating on the cuts. It was pretty difficult for me to do it alone (the battery of the camera died, and then to shoot with the camera while helping the pieces of paper - which were supposed to fall down from the table - actually begin to slip from the surface of the table. I think it is difficult to do it without help, so I asked a student from the school to help me.
Acutally the camera recorded the video in a wider angle, than I could see it on its screen, so by the time I wanted to match the scenes it caused some problems for me, but in the end I could manage this difficulty and my first individual video has been born.
