bit of research added.

Nearly done now! we're in the edit room as i type this getting all the finishing touches done. Alia and tom are putting the sound with the film while charley is finishing the menu. Sam is uploading a few other sounds that will be added throughout to make the film better. And seen as there is no word document on a mac (not pleased) im just editing this blog and finishing my workbook. Everything is fitting into place, the editing tom has done looks great and alias sound editing works really well. it is all down to charley and sam for recording such good shots and sounds. im really proud of everyone and i cant wait for others to see it. safe to say we will all be gutted if other people dont like it as we've put so much effort into everything. its been really hard with the concept change and being without a very valued member of the group for a few weeks. shooting days have been hard and we've all complained but i can honestly say ive had the best group of people to work with. 

Enough of the soppy stuff, just popped on to put down a few of the songs that will be included in our film as these are the pinnacle of the whole piece. 


This song is from the dvd menu slideshow etc.



This song is from the beginning of the piece, and the first flashback where the couple are happy.
This will be played by charley on the acoustic guitar.


This song comes from the 2nd flashback where the couple are in the car arguing.


This song is for 3rd flashback where the couple's relationship has broken down..



This song is at the end where the main character is walking off





This song is from the dvd menu slideshow etc.

yes we have a lot of songs but they fit really well !
nearly there, im excited!
love lucy x

Progress !

So we're pretty much on a roll with our filming and editing now, which is good seen as we only have a week to perfect it ! The picture editing is well underway although the sound editing has been stalled somewhat. I have been thinking of some of the films that we relate to through our short film. One of the park scenes we have shot will be edited in the style of this scene from the film "Thirteen".This ending scene from the film shows the main character spinning around on a roundabout.

 

The background is sped up and the girls emotion is clearly shown in her face. There is also a freeze frame to emphasise this which we may use. Although this film doesn't really relate to ours, the film styles are similar. We use shaky camera shots for the car to evoke the sense of panic which is also apparent in this 'Thirteen' film. The song in the park scene of our film is also slow while the picture is fast creating a contrast.

Although we still have more to do, we are confident of the ideas we have so far and the time it will take to finish. The sound has been stalled, however, and this is affecting some scenes and how we are editing them. This has been a major problem as sound is an integral part of our film. But we hope to resolve this as soon as possible. We are working well as a group and are constantly in contact. Up the wolverines !
