Group Review of the week

This week we have been editing our footage. We have now finished the initial editing of it. We may still make some minor adjustments but for now we have got the main structure of it. We are yet to have the music with our sequence however Mia is aiming to finish the music for it by Monday.

When editing our footage we did encounter some problems

• We found that we had too much footage so we had to cut down a lot which meant sacrificing shots that showed certain skills
• We ended up cutting out the whole candle sequence after it hits the ground. The reason we did this was because we didn't have enough shots for it to make the section look continuous and it caused the sequence not to look right. This cut down our sequence by a significant amount and we have all agreed as a group it does look better without it
• On Wednesday Kurtis was not in school so Mia and Harry finished off the last part of editing. The last part of editing was the skateboard sequence. Mia and Harry edited the sequence so the cutting rate was fast and there would be intercutting between our protagonist being dragged on the church floor and close ups of her reaction. When Kurtis came back to school we came to a disagreement on that section as Kurt at that time preferred if we did not intercut to close ups. We decided to ask advice from other students and Mr Five Ash. The outcome was that the original version Mia and Harry had edited was the best version for our sequence.

For Next week, our focus will be on the title sequence. We have started to look up fonts and would like to make our titles disappear in a similar way the Insidious titles do. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1e1feo4DUk )
We also are going to focus on music and sound effects.
