Monday 6th February- Friday 10th February 2012

This week is the deadline and as a group our main focus this week is to add in all the titles ready for Friday. This is a lot of pressure for the group as we cannot agree on the right font to use. We dont have time to disagree but all group members have to be happy with the final sequence. Group members are also out for various reasons during this weeks lessons which adds more pressure to the group members that are in to finish the sequence. My concerns about the text are that we will not have all of them complete and that the font will not match the rest of the sequence. Also if group members are out then we cant all agree and make a whole group decision.

Adding transitions for the text is a bit difficult as we have to try so many different transitions before we can get the right one as we want to make our sequence as realistic as possible. Our concerns are that once we have showed the teachers, if there is any errors will we have enough time to edit them to make our errors correct. I really hope they we have done a good enough job and made a interesting but different sequence. As a group we were happy with the amount of progress we had made last week but are very concerned about the work will are going to do this week as the titles are a major part of the sequence and we want them to look realistic and perfect in each shot.

In todays lesson we worked hard as a group to fade in and out the music in the correct places. We also got to add in our production logo as lately we have been having trouble trying to import it.We also worked with finding the correct and appropriate transitions between the shots so that the sequence moved continuously without sharp cuts. Our main focus for today was to make sure all the shots were the correct length, do as much editing as possible and make sure the music was in time with each shot otherwise it would look messy and out of place. We also changed the font for the title of the film as we did not believe it showed any significance to the title sequence and message its showing. Our aim for next lesson is to add the titles in and make a few small changes so that we are ready to show our title sequence next week.

Due to recent obstacles in our filming we finally managed to overcome them and finish the filming just with enough time to complete the editing. Due to the result in lack of light and dancers being ill we have had to use a different performer. This was a last resort as we hoped the original dancer would be well enough to perform in time. This brought stress and negativity to the group as we believed we would not have our sequence finished in time.


Today we shot a different dancer and got the right performance that we needed. We then were able to complete our editing with the transitions in between each shot. We also tried the sequence with our music and got the shots and audio to match up correctly. We also changed part of the sequence to black and white to make the sequence show that time has passed from the first shots to the end shots. This would show significance for the meaning that we are trying to get across about how things changed through the film overtime.
