In yesterdays lesson i edited my haiku poem video, i did three shots one 5 seconds one 7 seconds and the last one 5 seconds, my initial idea was to do my film about a haiku poem that was about autumn and film three different shots of autumn scenery but the weather was more wintery than leaves everywhere, i also noticed that there was quite alot of frost on the trees and the ducks were all out of the water. i wrote the first line of my poem as Autumn in the wood because i got a good shot of a woods with all the leaves falling off the trees and on the floor. For the second line of my poem, the one which consists of seven syllables i found quite hard to do because i wanted to do it about squirrels running around in the autumn trying to find nuts and birds making there nests for there young but didnt have enough syllables to write as much as id planned. so i went out to beacon park which is my local park and had a look at the wildlife there. i had no luck finding any squirrels or birds but there were plenty of ducks so my second line had to be changed. The ducks looked like they were playing and chasing each other so i did the sentence as 'ducks are all busy playing' because it fit the syllables. because of all the christmas decorations i wanted to do at least one shot with something christmassy so i did the last line as 'christmas just round the corner' and filmed santa's grotto in town. The whole way through my film it is quite wintery and dosent really remind me of autumn so after putting all the shots together i put the song 'its beginning to look a lot like christmas' into the film, but at the beginning i crossfaded the music and then made it get louder towards the last shot of the santa's grotto.
