Things we need to change - Feedback from class

We watched all the films last week and got feedback from the whole class. We are now reading all the feedbacks/comments and what is most apparent is the sound in our coursework as many if not all the comments was about the sound. We need to work more on the sound and tweak a few more things such as (things from our feedback) fixing sound affects e.g: the scream at the end. The diagetic/ non-diagetic sounds needs to flow (some are unnecessary). At times there was no sound and then sound suddenly came into it.

Shamima and Sabina completed

In the half term holiday,we came in and finished the last part that needed to be finished. We have finished adding all the music and all the sound effects that we wanted. We did this through the use of garage band. Overall we are happy with our finished project.

Edit Rashid and Mirza Complete.

We have completed our film opening however, we didn't add much music as we couldn't use garageband due to time.

Evaluation Shamima and Sabina

After watching our coursework we realized that we need to make a few changes. We need more closeups as we have lots of long shots and haven't captured the emotions of the main character and we need to re-shoot some important scenes. So in the half term we will come in and re-shoot the conference room scene again and the smooth zoom of the hand on the floor. Also we need to cut down our film as it is over 2 minutes and we need it to be 2 minutes exactly.

11/2/2010 What we have done so far.

We have progressed far with our coursework and have done two edits, however we have realized some scenes may need to be re-filmed. So far this is what we have done

Update on our coursework

We have finished editing our coursework and now we have added some music using garage band for the credits in the film. All we have left to do now is add some music/sound in the film for suspense. However we have found out that we haven't used any closeups of the main character to show emotions. So now we have to re-shoot the conference room scene again. This will be done over the half-term holidays.

Shamima and Sabina's edit

Today we finished editing our coursework. We are doing two edits and we have finished our one. All is left to do now is put in the music/sounds. Today after school we are going to learn how to use garage band and then apply our own composed music to our course work. Next lesson every thing should be finished and ready to submit.

Time extended to edit

Due to the fact that the previous 3 media lessons had been canceled, we have more time to edit. We've had a minor setback and therefore must get the editing completed by Tuesday's lesson, 09/02/2010. However we have started to film and have progressed far.

What we did today -First day of filming


Today was the first day at filming for our coursework. We filmed just one of our scene today (scene 2) and learnt a lot. We made a couple of mistakes that need to be undone in the next day we film which will be on Tuesday. All in all the day went good as we have one scene that we could use in the coursework as it looks appropriate and very good. The biggest mistake we made was that we were too obvious with the clock and we placed the clock in an area that was easily noticeable and therefore made it too blatant to the viewers.
