What we did today (25.02.14)

As we are still waiting for additional shots from Amy, we decided to dedicate this day to editing and putting in the music made my Nazmin. We are still considering re filming a couple of Daniel's scenes as we have noticed that the screen time that we have allocated to each character is not equal. 

We also decided to change the name of our film from 'Story of our life' to 'Colly' to connect with our target audience of teenagers who attend college. 

Editing - Daniel

After editing together the parts with Amy and others running to the college, Dan pointed out that it does not really make sense as only Amy arrives at the college even though the nerd and the rebel were present in the previous shots. in order to counter this I decided to re-film Amy's scenes without including the other characters, therefore their disappearance can be explained as they are at different parts in their journey to college. 

Dan and class feedback of rough cut

In conclusion, the advice given include:

1) To even out the screen time of each characters so we need to film more of the nerds and the goths scenes
2) There is a continuity error where all the  characters run towards school but only Amy ends of at the college
3) Have more close ups of Amy towards the end.

Rough Cut

This is the rough cut of our high school title sequence

Hi guys

I like the visual branding on your blog. However, you need to provide much more detail re. your production diaries, rather than just photos. You should state what you intended to do, what you achieved and what changes are you making to your plans (if any) because of this. You need to be as detailed as possible here - please edit the entries you have up. What exactly happened that day? How happy are you with what you've done? You also should post an account of what you did in my lesson on Friday as well. You can do diary entries as group posts but should also some add some short posts about your individual contributions. Also consider your skills development - what skills have you picked up since you began. Remember, workshop is open every day for you to add blogs. Please get this sorted as soon as possible - it's currently holding down your grade.

13 - C, 40 and 42 posts respectively.

As I was editing I have noticed that we have a unusable shot (when the Rebel girls pushes me). This is due to us filming in a busy area meaning that it was hard to re-shoot. I have found a way to fix that by using the shot where the goth girls is introduced as a substitute to the previous shot.
