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 !
